Well, nutritionists don't have "levels", so that is a little curious. But this is why "nutritionists" shouldn't be given the time of day. They have so little training, their only certification comes from a two to twelve week course, and many of them jump on the latest trends and rumors and then regurgitate them to their clients as truth for money. (See another thread where a poster was told by her nutritionist to go on an extreme Keto diet to lose weight she doesn't need to lose in the first place.)
Always go for "dieticians" - and always ask about a degree from an accredited college. I wouldn't hire anyone without at least a bachelor's degree (4 years) in the field.
Carbonation doesn't cause cellulite. If the nutritionist said "high-calorie carbonated drinks in excess" then he/she would've been closer to the mark - but it's all about the calories and amount consumed.0 -

a&w 10 is delicious and you can make it root beer float with it and the edy's slow churned ice cream0 -
I don't consume artificial sweeteners. I don't trust that they are not harmful to our health.0

Diet soda has no calories. You're safe.hproctor02 wrote: »I drink a fair amount of water. I try for 1 gallon a day. But I also drink a few cans of diet soda daily too. More out of habit than anything and it helps satisfy cravings.
I was just wondering if any one had any insight on the diet soda while on a diet and if it effects weigh loss?

Ask your Dentist.
I'm not waiting 2 weeks for an appointment... you can tell me, no?
my dentist told me that all soda (diet included), and fruit juice, isnt great for teeth. something about acidity. he recommended limiting those drinks, and when we do have them, using a straw, and not sip on it all day.

Nah, that's not true. I have a lifetime of drinking carbonated drinks and I don't have cellulite.0 -

Drink your diet soda.
Except it tastes nasty.....shiver.
Them's fightin' words, lady.
(Seriously though, the new formula for Diet Pepsi with the sucralose is pretty nasty imo)
The only one I really drink is Zevia Cream Soda. Very tasty to me, but otherwise I'm not a big fan of any other sodas. I have a diet Dr. Pepper or Diet 7 Up about once a year.0 -

I meant high level by her employment she works for a team at that's at the highest level in its field through out the world. Find it hard to believe that she would be employed by them if she didn't have creditendial or know what she was taking about.0 -

"Highest level," says... who or what? Is there an unbiased accredited agency who rates them, and if so, who is it and who granted their accreditation? Once again, nutritionists/dieticians don't have levels. This term makes no sense in this particular field and if that's a term they use for themselves, then that's very suspect. If that's a misunderstanding of a term you're ascribing to them, then by all means, please clarify. I would like to know.
And yes, if she refers to herself as a "nutritionist" and not a "dietician" she does not have proper credentials. It may seem like semantics, but those two terms are very different.
ETA: If she actually believes carbonation - as in CO2 by itself can create body fat, then no - that's evidence enough for me that she doesn't know what she's talking about. That's a ridiculous belief.
