    Thanks all for the info, ya new to this area... literally 2600 miles away from where I grew up, so yes I could find some friends but that's also hard for a 30 yr old man that works 50+hrs a week and has a family, advice taken and tons of work to be done now... so far love this app

    I've been wondering about how I'm doing nutritionally...despite being successful at shedding pounds on a modified low carb diet. Yesterday I made an appointment to meet with a nutritionist to review several weeks of my MFP diaries and to discuss my goals (lose 30 more pounds, reduce cholesterol, lower blood sugar ) and to make sure that what I'm doing is sustainable and healthy for the long term. It's expensive, and my insurance won't pay, but I think it will be enlightening.

    Yep, not beyond pimping my fledgling website. It's not 100% complete but it is up and running. 10 years in the biz, email or pm me if you'd like.

    Nutritionists aren't well respected in this field. They will probably tell you your low carb diet is wrong. Most people who go around doing a little research no more than nutritionists. A lot of people are passionate about this field. I wanted to help myself and others with their weight, i was obese most of my life. I personally decided to major in biochemistry. There are many people who have a good basic understanding about nutrition. There are also many who keep up to date with the new research coming out. A lot of read scientific journals. A nutritionist doesn't do that. They just stick to what they where taught, they have a cookie cutter meal plan, their approach isn't flexible.

    A dietician is better than a nutritionist.

    Or not. Sometimes they are the same thing. We aren't all from the U.S. Where I am the titles are interchangeable and have the exact same requirements.
