...at the first appointment with a nutritionist.

• The eliminator: Telling you that you may never eat something. It can trigger a disordered relationship with food and is not rooted in science.
• The pill popper: Be careful of anyone selling a product in addition to following their plan. The best way to get nutrients is through a varied, whole-food-based diet.
• The one-size-fits-all: Be aware of someone who likes only one style of eating, like vegan or keto. A good nutritionist will be well versed in a wide array of diet patterns.
• The therapist: If a dietician thinks you need extra help, they should be recommending another expert, not overstep boundaries.
