I personally don't hold dietician in any higher regard than nutritionists.
My mom had a dietician as a next door neighbor. This lady was never seen without a 1 liter big gulp filled with diet soda. We had her family over for Thanksgiving one year; Mom puts on a big show with white table cloths, fine china, crystal, etc. They all showed up with big gulps and even went home to get some diet soda when they ran low because we only had regular.
The kicker was this lady didn't eat vegetables. Only bread, meat and diet soda.
- criddell 10y agoEven though she doesn't eat well, it doesn't mean she doesn't know a lot about nutrition.
- logfromblammo 10y agoWho wants to take advice from a hypocrite? It would be like a dental hygienist that didn't floss, or a personal trainer that never did squats, or an arms control advocate with armed bodyguards, or an envronmentalist that never separates recyclables from the garbage.
- criddell 10y agoIs a fat dietitian more of a hypocrite than, say, an out of shape football coach?
- logfromblammo 10y agoNeither is necessarily a hypocrite. You can't really tell until they open their mouths and speak. It is likely that the coach was not out of shape at a time when they participated in competitive team sports. But a football coach that had never suffered a severe sports injury commanding players to "hit harder"? That's some hypocrisy right there. The fat dietitian might be self-experimenting to support they hypothesis that their fat-loss diet plan works (at n=1), or becoming familiar with the effects of various unhealthy eating habits. But we weren't talking about a fat dietitian. It was a dietitian that apparently does not eat vegetables.
- cardiffspaceman 10y agoA rotund American football coach, which is my image from your words, could be an ex-football player who once was more muscular. Retired athletes in that and similar sports do not end up thin like David Beckham. So in that case, after I learned the coach's resume, I would probably not call him a hypocrite.
