Your Personal Dietician - An Ally in Your Weight Loss Battle

Have you tried just about very diet under the sun? Are you tired of trying to fit someone else's idea of a good diet plan into your busy life? Or maybe you have special health needs that make standard diets a bad option for you. Try working with a personal dietician to help you create a personalized, custom diet plan designed just for your needs.

The goal of a good dietician is to help you understand nutrition, and make appropriate food choices based on your body type, your lifestyle and your health needs. A dietician will interview you about your health history and your previous dieting experience, and will help you create an eating program that works in your life.

Where Can I Find a Personal Dietician?

It's easy to find personal dieticians you can work with. Here are few places to consider:

Ask your healthcare provider for a recommendation. Many insurance plans cover this kind of specialist, especially if you have an existing medical condition that requires a special diet, like diabetes or heart disease.
Check online. Do a search for "personal dieticians" and you'll find a number of websites offering both online and local resources.
Check with your local hospital or healthcare center. Many facilities have dieticians on staff, or can refer you to a good local professional.

When choosing a personal dietician, make sure they have their RD (Registered Dietician) credentials. Most states also have a licensing requirement; check with the American Dietician Association for more information and some great resources.
