Is there a stigma around this? Nutrition and weight loss are both constantly advertised and regularly praised. Where is it considered shameful to see a nutritio

  Maybe its a very regional issue, but where I grew up in Switzerland, I feel obesity and being overweight is mostly seen as a lack of willpower, a sign of neglect or laziness, and therefore when you see specialists, its seen as giving up, even cheating. I mostly take that from conversations Ive had with ppl. But perhaps it was just my environment that wasnt the most enlightened on those problems

    Here in Stockholm using experts is seen as you working on the issue, especially if you are middle class and up. But we have similar views on obesity.

  In the US at least, many nutritionists are frauds with no formal training who dispense dubious advice. Anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist". Start with a Registered Dietitian instead. https://www.cdrnet.org/certifications/registered-dietitian-rd-certification https://www.cdrnet.org/certifications/registered-dietitian-r...
