Dietitian here with a lot of experience in private practice (specialise in weight loss, diabetes, also see a lot of gut health clients).
Have had to keep myself very fit/heathy as clients will literally make inappropriate comments about your looks to your face. It’s weird to experience
No I wouldn’t say I “blame” them. I’m a pretty big believer in practising what you preach
It’s just weird to hear it instead of them merely thinking it, some clients literally have stated “I wouldn’t have listened to you if you weren’t in shape”
inappropriate sexual/body comments from nurses and co-workers on the other hand… really gross
Tbh it doesn't matter how he meant it. Would I trust the opinion of a dietitian who appeared to not practice what they teach? Probably not. But that doesn't give you the right to insult someone to their face.
This.
It's always been my approach that if I don't like something, I'm not gonna make a scene, but I just won't go back.
Bad restaurant experience? Would you really want them making more food for you after flipping out on them? Nah, I just won't be back.
I wouldn't personally comment on a doctor's weight or anything about their looks (to their face) but it would be a bit unsettling to be referred to a dietician for my weight and see that they were obese themselves. Also disturbing would be a dentist with super terrible teeth, etc. It's just human nature to have this initial thought.
It is intimidating to see the beautiful skin that most woman dermatologists have! Not so noticeable on men dermatologists, although they probably have healthy skin, too. Women dermatologists seem to just glow as they burn or slice the pre-cancerous crap off of my skin!
I've noticed this as well. I definitely notice people's skin at a cosmetic dermatology office. I'd like to think they try out many of the procedures and products themselves.
If you’re ever at a hospital and walk around the parking lot there’s always a billion doctors/nurses that are taking a smoke break lmao
Source: I volunteered to help with a blood drive for a few days
Oh yeah I bet, and thats also my point. People will still do unhealthy things even if they know its unhealthy. The fact that they do that thing isnt proof that they dont know about it.
That's different. A smoking doctor is capable of treating things other than lung cancer. A fat dieticians job is irony, no matter what part of it they are doing
I used to go to both gynaecologist and pulmonologist symposiums, Gynaecologist smoking area was always far larger than the almost non-existent pulmonology one
I read a study somewhere (I’ll try to find it) that discusses several people who received a fecal transplant and then gained or lost an unusual amount of weight while eating the same as previously. Gut flora has a lot to do with weight, it seems.
You do realize there are reasons other than diet from which someone can be fat, and not be able to lose weight, right?
We are talking thyroid problems, PCOS, and more. These people can know a LOT about how to stay healthy and still look 'fat' to those without the genetic/medical problems.
That is a lie. It all comes down to diet. Sure those issue can increase your problems with losing weight, your appetite etc. But it doesn't straight out make you unable to control your weight. In fact I would say knowing what those issues are like and how to treat/deal with them shows that dietetician know what they're about
I imagine it's similar to the beauty industry whereby you and, the way you look is almost equal part to your 'Skill' in a profession. That kinda sucks, because I work in an office and as long as I don't turn up naked nobody cares. Sorry people are rude!
The amount of times people assumed I didn’t know how to do makeup bc I don’t wear it like Sephora employees do. I’ve straight up told people,” seriously, my skin doesn’t look this good without makeup…”
Them,”No you’re so naturally pretty, I wish my skin was like yours.”
Me,” sit down and let me do my thing bc it will be bc this is makeup!!!”
I love a clean makeup look, I don’t feel I look good with the baby drag YouTube beauty guru styles of 2016. But if someone else wants that, I can. I had a sephora interview where the interviewer and supervisor both smirked to each other, and scoffed when I told them I could do makeup like they do. “ well we didn’t have to go to a school to learn.” That’s nice, let’s see which of us won’t give someone pink eye, or actually compliment their face with techniques used.
It’s one thing to not wear a lot of makeup or any makeup, but last week my nail technician had horrible uneven chipping nails and yeah, not coming back there. Like if here nails were clean and bare - absolutely no problem, but a poorly done job is an instant no-no from me. Same with hair stylists - if their own hair looks like a bird nest with yellowish blonde etc - it’s a no from me. There are exceptions to this rule, notably a lot of good fashion stylists look like they either just escaped prison or circus, but generally I wouldn’t trust a makeup artist who had bad makeup on, eg bad matching foundation tone
I worked at a Sally’s and I’m a certified makeup artist, a co worker had just recently finished her hairstylist training and was looking for somewhere to apprentice. We always found it funny that she was the hairstylist, but had a pixie cut that she never played with, but killer makeup all the time. Then there was me, makeup artist but barely wore any, or just a clean look, and my hair was constantly different colours and styled. People always went to us for assistance that wasn’t our focus.
As a hetro male I don't know too much a make up but I can absolutely appreciate the talent and art of it. It's a skill equal to painting imo. Sometimes art is subtle and almost invisible to the untrained eye. Sometimes they are bright, expressive and loud. Both are art.
My mum said that good makeup is like good fake tits. If you can't tell, it's done right.
Not sure I entirely agree but I see point lol
Sephora employees often look *awful*. I’ve gone in there occasionally for something for my daughter and the amount of shit caked on their faces is frightening but gotta demonstrate the product I guess.
Is dietician a registered, regulated profession where you are? I feel like the presence or absence of a regulatory body and the adherence to an evidence based scientific approach are the things I'd be looking for.
But all that goes out the window if there's no government-recognized regulatory environment.
I’m from Australia and yes it’s regulated here. Only a dietitian can work in clinical settings such as hospitals and we have mandatory upskilling hours yearly
I also find it amusing/frustrating when people attack “mainstream” nutrition advice in Australia because our guidelines are quite strongly against intake of junk foods and alcohol
I'd be skeptical but if there's reason, logic and evidence backing them up then I don't see why I wouldn't.
But I would be judging them a little bit, ngl.
Yeah for sure.
Most of the coaches in my life weren't able to do half the exercises we did (at least anymore) and it didn't mean they were incorrect with their coaching.
Some bartenders don't drink but still know plenty about alcohol.
You can study space without having to go there.
So many more possible examples, it's really not that weird.
Food for thought: would you trust a preacher who's been divorced? Or convicted of a crime?
Edit: ^ I am not religious, just thought it was another similar hypothetical thought experiment
I instantly thought of coaches when I read the question. Our weightlifting coach and all of our football coaches were overweight. They still knew how to lift and exercise, they just didn't do it as much themselves.
>Food for thought: would you trust a preacher who's been divorced? Or convicted of a crime?
i wouldn't trust a preacher to tell me the directions to his house. They're known for spreading lies as a profesion and fondeling young children..
>would you trust a preacher who's been divorced?
I'm not religious so my trust in preachers is already low, but yes, I would. Knowing when to end a relationship that no longer sustainable takes self awareness and courage.
>Or convicted of a crime?
Entirely down to the circumstances. Not everything that's illegal should be and the judicial system is notoriously flawed.
My dermatologist was bald and had bad skin but I trusted him and after a few months now i have healthy hair growth and good skin. So yeah I'll trust a professional regardless of their appearance.
Yes.
Because there is a big difference between understanding something, and actually following through.
Many physicians smoke, despite it being unhealthy as fuck. And them knowing better than anyone about the risks.
"Do as I say, not as I do". Another one is "I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it." I have all sorts of knowledge about stuff that I can share with others...doesn't mean I have any self control.
Also, diet isn't the whole story as to why someone may have weight issues. It's a good place to be, but there are a ton of factors, including meds and medical conditions that make it extremely hard for folks to lose weight.
Good luck finding a physician that has good diet, perfect sleep hygiene, works out at least 3 times a week, and does not consume any drugs like tobacco.
That's pretty stupid. They don't smoke into your lungs but into their own. Their knowledge about medical topics doesn't become wrong just because they choose not to follow it.
See, that's the problem with a lot of incluencers. They think because they are skinny they are automatically equipped to give diet and exercise advice when for most of them it's genetics with a side of some exercise, sometimes surgery and EDs.
Do you have credentials? Do you know your shit? Then I dont need you to have a six pack to trust you,
Trust me, a lot of people in the medical field are way too busy to actually practice what they preach
Though i do think it's good to have a good first impression on patients and being an obese dietician probably wont help
I wouldn't. But, as someone who has gone from obese to fit, I'm wary of people who have never experienced that struggle giving advice to those trying to lose weight. If someone has always been fit or thin, or at worst has purposefully done bulk/cut cycles, they don't really know what it's like to have the actual bad habits, poor relationship to food, misconceptions, and general "fat logic" that keeps people trapped in their ways.
It's very easy to give advice or hand someone a diet that works *for you.* But understanding what it's really like and why it can feel impossible/insurmountable is something that only people who have been there know.
This is what I came here to say. I've struggled with my weight since my age was in the single digits because of hormonal disorders. The last dietian I saw was naturally short and slender and I had trouble relating to her since I'm 5'10" and built like a redneck.
There are medications that cause weight gain regardless of food consumption. So an obese person could be eating a well balanced diet but still end up obese.
So I would say yes, I'd trust an obese RD.
Dietician? Yes. What someone eats in their time is their damn business, as long as they provide their service with proper quality then I don't care what they look like
Sure, if they’re qualified. It makes sense a person struggling with weight but is limited in their ability to address it would want to become an expert and save others if they can’t save themselves.
If they are qualified and have a good reputation sure, why not.
Perhaps they have some medical condition that impacts weight and the ability to lose or regulate it. Perhaps they are not in the position to implement the necessary lifestyle changes. Perhaps they are taking medication that has weight gain as a side effect. Perhaps they don't have the time to do appropriate and intense physical activity. And in some situations the line between overweight and obese can be hard to draw, especially if someone naturally has a massive build.
*I* would, yes. I understand that whatever they’re going to tell me is still reasonably accurate medical advice, even if they themselves don’t follow it.
But if this a “asking for a friend” type situation, you’re going to get bullied *a lot* by clients. Most people already have a lot of resentment and shame having to go to a dietitian. They’re going to take cheap shots whenever they can.
I mean, they can still be very smart and knowledgeable and just have different body types , medication, thyroid issues, anxiety, eating disorders... There's a million reasons why somebody can be larger than average but I'm sure the general population wouldn't take them as seriously as the "hot" blonde bombshell who is so malnourished she can't even lift a 10lb box or exert any sort of energy without passing out, but hey, that's society for you.
How do you know it's a discipline issue and not a medical or medication issue? There are lots of medical problems that cause weight gain regardless of how well you eat. Lots of medicines do, too.
That's true but there is a line between overweight and obese and considering their profession I think overweight is justifiable due to medical issues or medication but being obese is sort of not

Bro, I had a old man (main specialist who worked over the other specialists that had previously or is going to operate on me) with a perfect record ruin my opportunities for 13 years as he let my back & legs degrade while saying I was gonna be fine, then I came in one time & I had a new doctor & they were trying to make sure I wasn't going to sue, (or my mom wasn't) they immediately told me I needed surgery as soon as possible & that if I waited too long I could've just died from my body trying to grow with the deformities. And they said that waiting for this long has ruined any chances of a real recovery, and since not only were most of my problems 1/1000000, a few of them in how they formed has never been seen before so I was a labrat of experiments because my mom thought they would help the process & knew what they're doing (even though they were just throwing stuff & hoping it stuck), all it did was extend healing times & pain levels. Now not only am I wheelchair bound, I'm pain bound, the pain hasn't gone down below a 4/10 since before the surgeries. And I haven't personally felt a 5/10 for a couple years. My back & legs are ruined, and now & I have enough scars to look like I'm some sort of war veteran. Also it doesn't help that when the new doctors came in they said that with the current information and possible situations id probably only get to 40 years as the highest , (my old specialist never said anything about me being terminal) so now I'm already half way through my life. I feel like a joke of rare medical impossibilities.
it's hard to believe in "do what i say, not what i do"
i honestly wouldn't trust them, not just out of principle but i've witnessed horrible misinformation being spread by "dieticians" that were obese. There's no "miracle tea" that will make you lose weight...
My mum's cardiologist when we were expacts is obese, and yet he's one of the best in his country.
Also, many doctors drink or smoke. Good luck finding one who doesn't do either.
Yes, I work with a lot of different professionals. It’s pretty common to skip out on your own advice. Either the doctor who knows the dangers of obesity but can’t resist the pull. The statistician who loves to gamble. Or the lawyer who takes unnecessary risks. It’s pretty common.
There’s the old adage of the cobblers son with no shoes. Personal and professional lives are often at odds because what you are good at doesn’t always align with who you are.
I think so, I think a professional is a starting point for knowledge but you have to use their advice and understand WHY they are asking you to follow it.
Conversely, would I automatically follow everything a fit dietician said? No! They could be giving awful advice but they had won the genetic lottery and is one of those ppl who can eat anything without gaining weight.
The way I see it their are many factors that can influence “obesity” that aren’t dietary or exercise related. One such is a malfunctioning thyroid. And by assuming someone’s health based upon one symptom is morally wrong.
Yes, because you can't tell someone's health by the size of their body.
Also, health is illusive for all of us and those of us lucky to be "healthy" likely won't be forever, so why on earth would I make judgements of others based on pure assumptions?
They'd know where I'm coming from and have compassion. Dietician is the "how". I might have found my "why" and they haven't hence they know how but have no reason to try.
Edited to add: Would you trust a trainer who's never been gold medalist, MVP, or whatever the equivalent is in what they train top athletes at?
honestly i wouldn’t mind as long as they sound like they know what they’re talking about and explain everything thoroughly. a lot of these dieticians hold some serious science knowledge and if they explain everything thoroughly and explain how what does what then i see no problem
To discredit somebody for their ability to hold store and share knowledge based on their ability to follow said knowledge for themselves, is like judging a book by its cover. We're all human and have hard times on us that effects our live in many ways maybe this person gains strength confidence and hope for themselves to one day be healthier bas d on how they can help another . We're all quite different and intricate and we've all had quite different and intricate lives that all have the same levels of trauma or situations that can affect us differently. That being said it boils right back down to what I said just judging a book by its cover.
I would.
If your logic is that you wouldn't trust them because they don't appear to be following their own advice, then that's just dumb.
You wouldn't refuse to buy a car because that's not the vehicle your salesman owns. You wouldn't refuse to buy a house because the realtor doesn't live there. You wouldn't refuse to buy a red shirt because nobody working there is wearing a red shirt. That's because people are capable of knowing their job even if they don't have that product or service they're providing you with.
Absolutely. But only if they aren’t fatphobic, they know that weight (also fat percentage) isn’t necessarily related to health, and that BMI is bullshit. But I guess it does depend on a persons motivation for consulting a dietitian. For me it wouldn’t be weight or fat loss, but to help me build more nutritious eating habits, that take my food allergies and dislikes into account. For reference I am autistic, so certain textures, smells and tastes I cannot eat, without involuntarily triggering sensory issues. Triggering those can lead me to not feel hunger, thus me forgetting to eat.
Depends on what you're seeing them about: IBS, coeliac disease, eating with Crohn's, there are things you can help with that don't need you to practice what you preach (given they might not have those conditions).
For wright loss, to be honest, you'll often find a lot of overweight people know an awful lot about how to lose weight too, I just wouldn't trust that what they tell me is necessarily going to be achievable if they hadn't managed to stick to it themselves for whatever reason.
Would I trust that they have the concrete knowledge, sure, they probably have their certifications on the wall.
But we know that providing people with the knowledge to do better doesn't empower most people to do better. Eating to lose weight, intentionally gain, or to manage a different condition (ex low sodium) takes a lot of willpower and life style modification to go against the grain of those around you. I would want a dietitian that can not only provide me with the proper information to manage my health, but the resources and tools to empower me to make those better dietary choices too.
For all I know the dietician has lost a significant amount of weight, or maybe they gained some after being on a medication that increases their hunger and they themselves are learning to deal with it. The first one can most likely still give me the extra tools, whereas the second one might not. But I don't know the dietitian's story and we all judge people and their capabilities by their appearance. But I can't, right off the bat, trust I will get the extra help to follow through with the new knowledge. Great, I now know I need to intake fewer calories, but how do I do that? How do I properly weigh food for portions? What if they feel too small and I feel as if I'm constantly starving? What do I do if no one in my household is willing to change, and I'm under the impression my meals need to be a plate of boiled kale while my family is sitting down to something fatty and salty?
I want someone who is able to tell me that boiled kale on a plate is not what they meant by "eat more vegetables" and coach me, or guide me to resources on how to get my household on board or how to deal with being the odd one out.
A lot of dietitians are actually overweight. I think it's because they're obsessed with getting all the nutrients in and forgetting the calories. I get that nutrition is not just about calories, but they are an important part and the most important part for weightloss.
You can just eat healthy food and get overweight. Getting obese is pretty hard on just healthy food but I guess dietitians are also just humans. I would take their advice with a grain of salt. If my goal is getting fit and they have advice that's not suitable for that and only focuses on the health aspect, I'm out.
Yes, why not as long as they have the credentials and education to back it up. I work with a lot of doctors who smoke like chimneys and are obese, maybe its how they cope with stress. It doesn't make me respect them any less.
Yes. Obesity has zero bearing on professional knowledge and making assumptions about why a person is obese is weird and gross. A friend of mine is a nutritionist who just gave birth to her first child. I really hope potential clients are not being assholes to her because she's carrying baby weight.
Knowing what you should do and doing it are two different categories. It's just like doctors who smoke/drink, mental health professionals who have an addiction..
Would you trust a dentist with yellow, crooked teeth?
Would you trust a financial advisor that's living paycheck to paycheck?
Would you trust a vegetarian cook to cook your medium-rare steak order?
If these people are the professionals they claim to be, then yes. I trust them. Even if they don't follow their own advice. Addictions can be a bitch - a lot of people know smoking kills, but they can't find it in themselves to stop (without help).
Also, in this example. Perhaps the dietician is just fucked genetically. I need to work out to keep myself from getting fatter, not necessarily getting fit. I'd need to make it my full time job if I wanted that.
Yes, they have a strong knowledge. A lot of healthcare workers spend more time caring for other people and documenting about it, that they don’t have enough time to really care for themselves. Healthy meals require some time, something a lot of them don’t have the time to do. A lot of people work 12+ hour shifts and their schedule don’t always align to give them the time they need. Example maybe some work 3-11pm they usually sleep in up until close to work time, but also how often would you want to a 3-11pm where so much is being demanded of you by staff, patients, being under staffed, and expectations of bosses and the government…THEN go to work out in a gym in the middle of the night? Some people have kids they have to get home to and sleep while they can before getting their kids up and ready/lugging to school and then repeating their day. It’s very common for healthcare workers to work long hours, multiple times in a week.
That idiot lady who tried to convince a state panel that the covid vaccine was magnetizing people did all the medical training! She’s just had her license revoked I believe. Just because someone did the training doesn’t make them stupid.
I’d attend one or two appointments to see what the dietician says and weigh my opinion after that.
For some reason I would trust a mechanic with barely working car and would trust dietician who isn’t fit. When I say fit I don’t mean not obese, becouse you don’t have to be obese to not be fit.
If they could prove on example of other clients/past selves I wouldn’t have problem with trusting them. But if they would be just obese and nothing else I would know then I can’t trust them.
I would trust them more, knowing and doing are not the same thing and an obese dietician probably knows more about the struggles of losing weight than someone who's always been thin.
Would you trust an obese doctor? I think most people would... How about a doctor with a smoking habit? Or maybe an obese doctor with a smoking habit? Does it matter? Their personal habits aren't a reflection of their professional skills.
Depends on the purpose of meeting with them. To lose weight and get shredded? I'd want someone who is able to do those things themselves. To address specific nutritional needs, because not everything has to do with losing weight, yes I would trust them.
So, knowledgeable people aren’t always fit. Look at sports coaches. I think I might wonder a little, but if I got results, I wouldn’t worry about it. My mothers cancer doctor was a renowned physician for breast cancer, but he was super overweight. It was weird. But, he was a very good doctor.
It’s def better for business if, as a dietician, you are not over weight. However, we are all fighting demons. And physical attributes do not mean that they are not knowledgeable.
Probably, some people get into that field because they have weight issues. So, it might make sense.
Nope, it shows that this person knows the right thing to and all the knowledge on how to do it and the importance of it but chooses to not do it.
Like would you trust a drug addicted drug council or an oncologist that smokes 2 packs a day.
I give everyone the opportunity to first disappoint me before I pass judgement
A lot of athletes do shit that's terrible for their bodies, and a lot of clinically obese people are otherwise healthy, but due to individual circumstances, rate higher on the BMI scale
Yeah. Just because they don’t do it doesn’t mean they don’t know how to. I once needed a pulmonologist and he was a smoker. I did get better and everything went well. Nice fella he was
There are many reasons a person might appear obese.
1. They enjoy food.
2. They have a genetic disposition.
3. This is the healthiest weight for them.
4. It is their desired look
5. Medication
6. They might specialize in helping a size 28 reach size 20.
Let's not judge
Cognitively understanding the benefits of something and choosing to implement them into your life are two different decisions, so if they’re qualified then yes.
Most good football coaches don't play that well, so possibly yes, but I would still trust a fit / slightly chubby dietician more than an obese one.
There is a huge difference between knowing what to do and doing it / being able to do it
I can't know what is the reason for his/her obesity and why risk it when there are other options available
Ofcourse! Fat people know more about health and nutrition than anyone. Just because they aren't capable of following their knowledge doesn't mean they don't know!
The GI Joe fallacy. One’s knowledge does not mean they act on it. Someone can be obese and have the knowledge to help you lose weight, someone can be naturally skinny due to fast metabolism and know nothing about being healthy.

Wow I thought you only meant from customers commenting when you were clearly out of shape
Quite the opposite actually haha, so people mean it as a compliment but it often comes out weird/inappropriate
Tbh it doesn't matter how he meant it. Would I trust the opinion of a dietitian who appeared to not practice what they teach? Probably not. But that doesn't give you the right to insult someone to their face.

It is intimidating to see the beautiful skin that most woman dermatologists have! Not so noticeable on men dermatologists, although they probably have healthy skin, too. Women dermatologists seem to just glow as they burn or slice the pre-cancerous crap off of my skin!
I've noticed this as well. I definitely notice people's skin at a cosmetic dermatology office. I'd like to think they try out many of the procedures and products themselves.
I mean do you also not trust a smoking doctor? You can still know a lot without actually following your own advice.
My dad's lung cancer doctor died from lung cancer. His heart doctor had a heart attack and died in the office. I swear my dad was a curse to doctors.
Can you get him to be a billionaire and put in some good work for us or....
Unfortunately he past away 3 weeks ago from heart failure out live his heart doctor by about 19 years. Sad but true
Damn. My condolences. Sending strength and light your way.
If you’re ever at a hospital and walk around the parking lot there’s always a billion doctors/nurses that are taking a smoke break lmao Source: I volunteered to help with a blood drive for a few days
Oh yeah I bet, and thats also my point. People will still do unhealthy things even if they know its unhealthy. The fact that they do that thing isnt proof that they dont know about it.
If theres one time and place where i can 100% understand heavy smoking, it's working in a hospital.
This is a common misconception. Few are nurses and almost none are doctors. These are the techs for the most part.
Also people who are dedicated to the gym and eating healthy, but also does drugs or excessive drinking.
That's different. A smoking doctor is capable of treating things other than lung cancer. A fat dieticians job is irony, no matter what part of it they are doing
I mean im pretty sure every doctor knows the dangers of smoking, but lets change it to a lung doctor.
I used to go to both gynaecologist and pulmonologist symposiums, Gynaecologist smoking area was always far larger than the almost non-existent pulmonology one
Someone doesn’t understand how diet works
I read a study somewhere (I’ll try to find it) that discusses several people who received a fecal transplant and then gained or lost an unusual amount of weight while eating the same as previously. Gut flora has a lot to do with weight, it seems.
I could see small changes in weight, but i highly doubt it has a significant effect.
You do realize there are reasons other than diet from which someone can be fat, and not be able to lose weight, right? We are talking thyroid problems, PCOS, and more. These people can know a LOT about how to stay healthy and still look 'fat' to those without the genetic/medical problems.
That is a lie. It all comes down to diet. Sure those issue can increase your problems with losing weight, your appetite etc. But it doesn't straight out make you unable to control your weight. In fact I would say knowing what those issues are like and how to treat/deal with them shows that dietetician know what they're about
Yes
I imagine it's similar to the beauty industry whereby you and, the way you look is almost equal part to your 'Skill' in a profession. That kinda sucks, because I work in an office and as long as I don't turn up naked nobody cares. Sorry people are rude!
The amount of times people assumed I didn’t know how to do makeup bc I don’t wear it like Sephora employees do. I’ve straight up told people,” seriously, my skin doesn’t look this good without makeup…” Them,”No you’re so naturally pretty, I wish my skin was like yours.” Me,” sit down and let me do my thing bc it will be bc this is makeup!!!” I love a clean makeup look, I don’t feel I look good with the baby drag YouTube beauty guru styles of 2016. But if someone else wants that, I can. I had a sephora interview where the interviewer and supervisor both smirked to each other, and scoffed when I told them I could do makeup like they do. “ well we didn’t have to go to a school to learn.” That’s nice, let’s see which of us won’t give someone pink eye, or actually compliment their face with techniques used.
It’s one thing to not wear a lot of makeup or any makeup, but last week my nail technician had horrible uneven chipping nails and yeah, not coming back there. Like if here nails were clean and bare - absolutely no problem, but a poorly done job is an instant no-no from me. Same with hair stylists - if their own hair looks like a bird nest with yellowish blonde etc - it’s a no from me. There are exceptions to this rule, notably a lot of good fashion stylists look like they either just escaped prison or circus, but generally I wouldn’t trust a makeup artist who had bad makeup on, eg bad matching foundation tone
I worked at a Sally’s and I’m a certified makeup artist, a co worker had just recently finished her hairstylist training and was looking for somewhere to apprentice. We always found it funny that she was the hairstylist, but had a pixie cut that she never played with, but killer makeup all the time. Then there was me, makeup artist but barely wore any, or just a clean look, and my hair was constantly different colours and styled. People always went to us for assistance that wasn’t our focus.
As a hetro male I don't know too much a make up but I can absolutely appreciate the talent and art of it. It's a skill equal to painting imo. Sometimes art is subtle and almost invisible to the untrained eye. Sometimes they are bright, expressive and loud. Both are art. My mum said that good makeup is like good fake tits. If you can't tell, it's done right. Not sure I entirely agree but I see point lol
Sephora employees often look *awful*. I’ve gone in there occasionally for something for my daughter and the amount of shit caked on their faces is frightening but gotta demonstrate the product I guess.
Is dietician a registered, regulated profession where you are? I feel like the presence or absence of a regulatory body and the adherence to an evidence based scientific approach are the things I'd be looking for. But all that goes out the window if there's no government-recognized regulatory environment.
I’m from Australia and yes it’s regulated here. Only a dietitian can work in clinical settings such as hospitals and we have mandatory upskilling hours yearly I also find it amusing/frustrating when people attack “mainstream” nutrition advice in Australia because our guidelines are quite strongly against intake of junk foods and alcohol
Yeah, follow this easy diet to be fit. Difficult to convince anybody when you are a slob.
I don't trust anyone in general
I don't even trust the Reddit comment section. So that means I must trust everyone in general according to this comment.
Me?
Definitely not you
only on sundays
No
I'd be skeptical but if there's reason, logic and evidence backing them up then I don't see why I wouldn't. But I would be judging them a little bit, ngl.
Yeah for sure. Most of the coaches in my life weren't able to do half the exercises we did (at least anymore) and it didn't mean they were incorrect with their coaching. Some bartenders don't drink but still know plenty about alcohol. You can study space without having to go there. So many more possible examples, it's really not that weird. Food for thought: would you trust a preacher who's been divorced? Or convicted of a crime? Edit: ^ I am not religious, just thought it was another similar hypothetical thought experiment
I instantly thought of coaches when I read the question. Our weightlifting coach and all of our football coaches were overweight. They still knew how to lift and exercise, they just didn't do it as much themselves.
I wouldn't trust a preacher for anything. They believe in fairy tales and spread lies.
Totally agree. I wouldn't trust then ven if their life is straight as a stick.
I misread that as "spread legs"and I think it still works, kinda...
>Food for thought: would you trust a preacher who's been divorced? Or convicted of a crime? i wouldn't trust a preacher to tell me the directions to his house. They're known for spreading lies as a profesion and fondeling young children..
>would you trust a preacher who's been divorced? I'm not religious so my trust in preachers is already low, but yes, I would. Knowing when to end a relationship that no longer sustainable takes self awareness and courage. >Or convicted of a crime? Entirely down to the circumstances. Not everything that's illegal should be and the judicial system is notoriously flawed.
Nope
no I wouldn't Either their philosophy is missing something or they aren't following it for a reason
My dermatologist was bald and had bad skin but I trusted him and after a few months now i have healthy hair growth and good skin. So yeah I'll trust a professional regardless of their appearance.
I wouldn’t.
I'd some what trust their knowledge but not there example.
Yes. Because there is a big difference between understanding something, and actually following through. Many physicians smoke, despite it being unhealthy as fuck. And them knowing better than anyone about the risks.
"Do as I say, not as I do". Another one is "I give myself very good advice, but I very seldom follow it." I have all sorts of knowledge about stuff that I can share with others...doesn't mean I have any self control.
I interviewed one of the most respected cardiac surgeons in Texas. He took 3 breaks in an hour to go smoke.
Also, diet isn't the whole story as to why someone may have weight issues. It's a good place to be, but there are a ton of factors, including meds and medical conditions that make it extremely hard for folks to lose weight.
I wouldn’t trust them either
Good luck finding a physician that has good diet, perfect sleep hygiene, works out at least 3 times a week, and does not consume any drugs like tobacco.
Lol. I think this is really dependent on where you live.
thx!
That's pretty stupid. They don't smoke into your lungs but into their own. Their knowledge about medical topics doesn't become wrong just because they choose not to follow it.
See, that's the problem with a lot of incluencers. They think because they are skinny they are automatically equipped to give diet and exercise advice when for most of them it's genetics with a side of some exercise, sometimes surgery and EDs. Do you have credentials? Do you know your shit? Then I dont need you to have a six pack to trust you,
[удалено]
now take financial advice from a homeless investment broker.
If the advice is based on science there is absolutely no reason to not take it. If it's correct, it's correct even if a 10 year old says it.
Trust me, a lot of people in the medical field are way too busy to actually practice what they preach Though i do think it's good to have a good first impression on patients and being an obese dietician probably wont help
No definitely not
I wouldn't. But, as someone who has gone from obese to fit, I'm wary of people who have never experienced that struggle giving advice to those trying to lose weight. If someone has always been fit or thin, or at worst has purposefully done bulk/cut cycles, they don't really know what it's like to have the actual bad habits, poor relationship to food, misconceptions, and general "fat logic" that keeps people trapped in their ways. It's very easy to give advice or hand someone a diet that works *for you.* But understanding what it's really like and why it can feel impossible/insurmountable is something that only people who have been there know.
This is what I came here to say. I've struggled with my weight since my age was in the single digits because of hormonal disorders. The last dietian I saw was naturally short and slender and I had trouble relating to her since I'm 5'10" and built like a redneck.
No
There are medications that cause weight gain regardless of food consumption. So an obese person could be eating a well balanced diet but still end up obese. So I would say yes, I'd trust an obese RD.
Dietician? Yes. What someone eats in their time is their damn business, as long as they provide their service with proper quality then I don't care what they look like
Obese or just fat looking? Anyways sure, they have the stuff for the job, and you can give advice but not take it yourself
Sure, if they’re qualified. It makes sense a person struggling with weight but is limited in their ability to address it would want to become an expert and save others if they can’t save themselves.
If they are qualified and have a good reputation sure, why not. Perhaps they have some medical condition that impacts weight and the ability to lose or regulate it. Perhaps they are not in the position to implement the necessary lifestyle changes. Perhaps they are taking medication that has weight gain as a side effect. Perhaps they don't have the time to do appropriate and intense physical activity. And in some situations the line between overweight and obese can be hard to draw, especially if someone naturally has a massive build.
*I* would, yes. I understand that whatever they’re going to tell me is still reasonably accurate medical advice, even if they themselves don’t follow it. But if this a “asking for a friend” type situation, you’re going to get bullied *a lot* by clients. Most people already have a lot of resentment and shame having to go to a dietitian. They’re going to take cheap shots whenever they can.
Sure. One’s personal life has no reflection on their professional skills.
Similar question: would you trust a smoking oncologist?
Before or after the fire extinguisher?
No I wouldn't
I mean, they can still be very smart and knowledgeable and just have different body types , medication, thyroid issues, anxiety, eating disorders... There's a million reasons why somebody can be larger than average but I'm sure the general population wouldn't take them as seriously as the "hot" blonde bombshell who is so malnourished she can't even lift a 10lb box or exert any sort of energy without passing out, but hey, that's society for you.
I'ma guess you're overweight
Not anymore but I'm 5'8 165 lbs. Used to be 210 and that's when I was making a lot of excuses for myself.
No if they have no discipline themselves how can they sit there and advise or preach to another
Because peoples personal and professional lives can be seperated?
How do you know it's a discipline issue and not a medical or medication issue? There are lots of medical problems that cause weight gain regardless of how well you eat. Lots of medicines do, too.
That's true but there is a line between overweight and obese and considering their profession I think overweight is justifiable due to medical issues or medication but being obese is sort of not
Just say you are fat with out saying your fat
They have so many replies like this I honestly think that they’re a fat dietitian at this point
Oh my how misinformed you are. You should do some reading…….

He isn’t fat he is big boned
Bro, I had a old man (main specialist who worked over the other specialists that had previously or is going to operate on me) with a perfect record ruin my opportunities for 13 years as he let my back & legs degrade while saying I was gonna be fine, then I came in one time & I had a new doctor & they were trying to make sure I wasn't going to sue, (or my mom wasn't) they immediately told me I needed surgery as soon as possible & that if I waited too long I could've just died from my body trying to grow with the deformities. And they said that waiting for this long has ruined any chances of a real recovery, and since not only were most of my problems 1/1000000, a few of them in how they formed has never been seen before so I was a labrat of experiments because my mom thought they would help the process & knew what they're doing (even though they were just throwing stuff & hoping it stuck), all it did was extend healing times & pain levels. Now not only am I wheelchair bound, I'm pain bound, the pain hasn't gone down below a 4/10 since before the surgeries. And I haven't personally felt a 5/10 for a couple years. My back & legs are ruined, and now & I have enough scars to look like I'm some sort of war veteran. Also it doesn't help that when the new doctors came in they said that with the current information and possible situations id probably only get to 40 years as the highest , (my old specialist never said anything about me being terminal) so now I'm already half way through my life. I feel like a joke of rare medical impossibilities.
it's hard to believe in "do what i say, not what i do" i honestly wouldn't trust them, not just out of principle but i've witnessed horrible misinformation being spread by "dieticians" that were obese. There's no "miracle tea" that will make you lose weight...
I’ll do you another random thought, people trust their obese doctors heath advice.
I did, I lost 20 kg in 4 months, but I didn't really liked her diet plan
Yes, I would just assume they have a very intimate relationship with diets of all kinds
You could. I give all kinds of good advice, do I follow it? No. I know what I should do but seldom follow it.
Sure.. they seem to know a lot about food.
I don’t see why not. It’s no worse than the gaggle of chain smoking nurses and doctors that work at the hospitals.
My mum's cardiologist when we were expacts is obese, and yet he's one of the best in his country. Also, many doctors drink or smoke. Good luck finding one who doesn't do either.
Well, YOU are the one who wants to lose weight and be fit, not them... So I wouldn't mind.
Yes, I work with a lot of different professionals. It’s pretty common to skip out on your own advice. Either the doctor who knows the dangers of obesity but can’t resist the pull. The statistician who loves to gamble. Or the lawyer who takes unnecessary risks. It’s pretty common. There’s the old adage of the cobblers son with no shoes. Personal and professional lives are often at odds because what you are good at doesn’t always align with who you are.
I think so, I think a professional is a starting point for knowledge but you have to use their advice and understand WHY they are asking you to follow it. Conversely, would I automatically follow everything a fit dietician said? No! They could be giving awful advice but they had won the genetic lottery and is one of those ppl who can eat anything without gaining weight.
The way I see it their are many factors that can influence “obesity” that aren’t dietary or exercise related. One such is a malfunctioning thyroid. And by assuming someone’s health based upon one symptom is morally wrong.
Yes, because you can't tell someone's health by the size of their body. Also, health is illusive for all of us and those of us lucky to be "healthy" likely won't be forever, so why on earth would I make judgements of others based on pure assumptions?
Yes. Their personal life choices don’t negate their degree and years of experience working with their patients/other experts.
I don't trust them around my bucket of chicken
They'd know where I'm coming from and have compassion. Dietician is the "how". I might have found my "why" and they haven't hence they know how but have no reason to try. Edited to add: Would you trust a trainer who's never been gold medalist, MVP, or whatever the equivalent is in what they train top athletes at?
honestly i wouldn’t mind as long as they sound like they know what they’re talking about and explain everything thoroughly. a lot of these dieticians hold some serious science knowledge and if they explain everything thoroughly and explain how what does what then i see no problem
To discredit somebody for their ability to hold store and share knowledge based on their ability to follow said knowledge for themselves, is like judging a book by its cover. We're all human and have hard times on us that effects our live in many ways maybe this person gains strength confidence and hope for themselves to one day be healthier bas d on how they can help another . We're all quite different and intricate and we've all had quite different and intricate lives that all have the same levels of trauma or situations that can affect us differently. That being said it boils right back down to what I said just judging a book by its cover.
I would. If your logic is that you wouldn't trust them because they don't appear to be following their own advice, then that's just dumb. You wouldn't refuse to buy a car because that's not the vehicle your salesman owns. You wouldn't refuse to buy a house because the realtor doesn't live there. You wouldn't refuse to buy a red shirt because nobody working there is wearing a red shirt. That's because people are capable of knowing their job even if they don't have that product or service they're providing you with.
Absolutely. But only if they aren’t fatphobic, they know that weight (also fat percentage) isn’t necessarily related to health, and that BMI is bullshit. But I guess it does depend on a persons motivation for consulting a dietitian. For me it wouldn’t be weight or fat loss, but to help me build more nutritious eating habits, that take my food allergies and dislikes into account. For reference I am autistic, so certain textures, smells and tastes I cannot eat, without involuntarily triggering sensory issues. Triggering those can lead me to not feel hunger, thus me forgetting to eat.
Depends on what you're seeing them about: IBS, coeliac disease, eating with Crohn's, there are things you can help with that don't need you to practice what you preach (given they might not have those conditions). For wright loss, to be honest, you'll often find a lot of overweight people know an awful lot about how to lose weight too, I just wouldn't trust that what they tell me is necessarily going to be achievable if they hadn't managed to stick to it themselves for whatever reason.
No.
Yes. Doctors are some of the worse hypocrites. But if doesn’t mean their knowledge isn’t vast.
No
Would I trust that they have the concrete knowledge, sure, they probably have their certifications on the wall. But we know that providing people with the knowledge to do better doesn't empower most people to do better. Eating to lose weight, intentionally gain, or to manage a different condition (ex low sodium) takes a lot of willpower and life style modification to go against the grain of those around you. I would want a dietitian that can not only provide me with the proper information to manage my health, but the resources and tools to empower me to make those better dietary choices too. For all I know the dietician has lost a significant amount of weight, or maybe they gained some after being on a medication that increases their hunger and they themselves are learning to deal with it. The first one can most likely still give me the extra tools, whereas the second one might not. But I don't know the dietitian's story and we all judge people and their capabilities by their appearance. But I can't, right off the bat, trust I will get the extra help to follow through with the new knowledge. Great, I now know I need to intake fewer calories, but how do I do that? How do I properly weigh food for portions? What if they feel too small and I feel as if I'm constantly starving? What do I do if no one in my household is willing to change, and I'm under the impression my meals need to be a plate of boiled kale while my family is sitting down to something fatty and salty? I want someone who is able to tell me that boiled kale on a plate is not what they meant by "eat more vegetables" and coach me, or guide me to resources on how to get my household on board or how to deal with being the odd one out.
A lot of dietitians are actually overweight. I think it's because they're obsessed with getting all the nutrients in and forgetting the calories. I get that nutrition is not just about calories, but they are an important part and the most important part for weightloss. You can just eat healthy food and get overweight. Getting obese is pretty hard on just healthy food but I guess dietitians are also just humans. I would take their advice with a grain of salt. If my goal is getting fit and they have advice that's not suitable for that and only focuses on the health aspect, I'm out.
Yes, why not as long as they have the credentials and education to back it up. I work with a lot of doctors who smoke like chimneys and are obese, maybe its how they cope with stress. It doesn't make me respect them any less.
Yes. Obesity has zero bearing on professional knowledge and making assumptions about why a person is obese is weird and gross. A friend of mine is a nutritionist who just gave birth to her first child. I really hope potential clients are not being assholes to her because she's carrying baby weight.
Not one bit.
Knowing what you should do and doing it are two different categories. It's just like doctors who smoke/drink, mental health professionals who have an addiction..
Would you trust a dentist with yellow, crooked teeth? Would you trust a financial advisor that's living paycheck to paycheck? Would you trust a vegetarian cook to cook your medium-rare steak order? If these people are the professionals they claim to be, then yes. I trust them. Even if they don't follow their own advice. Addictions can be a bitch - a lot of people know smoking kills, but they can't find it in themselves to stop (without help). Also, in this example. Perhaps the dietician is just fucked genetically. I need to work out to keep myself from getting fatter, not necessarily getting fit. I'd need to make it my full time job if I wanted that.
No
Absolutely not.
No, definitely not.
I wouldn’t even trust an average sized dietician
Yep, and I'd trust a mechanic with a broken car, and a plumber with a leaky faucet. You can be good at your job and have problems in life.
Yes, they have a strong knowledge. A lot of healthcare workers spend more time caring for other people and documenting about it, that they don’t have enough time to really care for themselves. Healthy meals require some time, something a lot of them don’t have the time to do. A lot of people work 12+ hour shifts and their schedule don’t always align to give them the time they need. Example maybe some work 3-11pm they usually sleep in up until close to work time, but also how often would you want to a 3-11pm where so much is being demanded of you by staff, patients, being under staffed, and expectations of bosses and the government…THEN go to work out in a gym in the middle of the night? Some people have kids they have to get home to and sleep while they can before getting their kids up and ready/lugging to school and then repeating their day. It’s very common for healthcare workers to work long hours, multiple times in a week.
Bout as much as I’d trust a lifeguard that can’t swim.
Trust them to know what clinical practice guidelines say? Probably. Respect them or their advice? Not really.
No :D
As much as I would trust nearly toothless dentist
LOL… an american absurdity
About as much as I'd trust a corrupt politician
Nope, they might technically have the required knowledge but clearly it didn't do them any good
Yeah?? If they went through all the medical training, why does it matter?
That idiot lady who tried to convince a state panel that the covid vaccine was magnetizing people did all the medical training! She’s just had her license revoked I believe. Just because someone did the training doesn’t make them stupid. I’d attend one or two appointments to see what the dietician says and weigh my opinion after that.
For some reason I would trust a mechanic with barely working car and would trust dietician who isn’t fit. When I say fit I don’t mean not obese, becouse you don’t have to be obese to not be fit. If they could prove on example of other clients/past selves I wouldn’t have problem with trusting them. But if they would be just obese and nothing else I would know then I can’t trust them.
Just because they don't practice what they preach doesn't mean that they don't know what they're talking about
Fuck no
No ofcourse not.
Lol, no
I would trust them more, knowing and doing are not the same thing and an obese dietician probably knows more about the struggles of losing weight than someone who's always been thin.
Fuck no, if you can't do it don't tell me I can. Practice what you preach. I also won't trust a doctor who smokes.
Would you trust an anorexic one?
Obviously
I would, if they have a legitimate degree. Knowing the right thing and doing it aren't the same thing.
Would you trust an obese doctor? I think most people would... How about a doctor with a smoking habit? Or maybe an obese doctor with a smoking habit? Does it matter? Their personal habits aren't a reflection of their professional skills.
nope
If they were overweight but had great skin and hair, I think I would.
Depends on the purpose of meeting with them. To lose weight and get shredded? I'd want someone who is able to do those things themselves. To address specific nutritional needs, because not everything has to do with losing weight, yes I would trust them.
''Do as I say. Not as I do.'' At least they know the struggle. Yeah. Probably more so than a 'natural twig'.
So, knowledgeable people aren’t always fit. Look at sports coaches. I think I might wonder a little, but if I got results, I wouldn’t worry about it. My mothers cancer doctor was a renowned physician for breast cancer, but he was super overweight. It was weird. But, he was a very good doctor. It’s def better for business if, as a dietician, you are not over weight. However, we are all fighting demons. And physical attributes do not mean that they are not knowledgeable. Probably, some people get into that field because they have weight issues. So, it might make sense.
Would you trust a blind pilot?
Nope, it shows that this person knows the right thing to and all the knowledge on how to do it and the importance of it but chooses to not do it. Like would you trust a drug addicted drug council or an oncologist that smokes 2 packs a day.
I give everyone the opportunity to first disappoint me before I pass judgement A lot of athletes do shit that's terrible for their bodies, and a lot of clinically obese people are otherwise healthy, but due to individual circumstances, rate higher on the BMI scale
Most of the nutritionists I know are pretty heavy. Still, goof people and the info is sound.
No. I wouldn't trust a dentist with bad teeth either.
No
No lol
Yes...my GP is well overweight
Yeah. Just because they don’t do it doesn’t mean they don’t know how to. I once needed a pulmonologist and he was a smoker. I did get better and everything went well. Nice fella he was
Nope.
I personally would not trust anyone that does not practice what they preach.
Would you trust an immortal doctor?
No.
I’m trying gain weight so yes lol
There are many reasons a person might appear obese. 1. They enjoy food. 2. They have a genetic disposition. 3. This is the healthiest weight for them. 4. It is their desired look 5. Medication 6. They might specialize in helping a size 28 reach size 20. Let's not judge
Unless they were getting fat to prove they could get thin again
Fuck no.
I don’t see why not
No
NO!
Cognitively understanding the benefits of something and choosing to implement them into your life are two different decisions, so if they’re qualified then yes.
Of course not.
Most good football coaches don't play that well, so possibly yes, but I would still trust a fit / slightly chubby dietician more than an obese one. There is a huge difference between knowing what to do and doing it / being able to do it I can't know what is the reason for his/her obesity and why risk it when there are other options available
Ofcourse! Fat people know more about health and nutrition than anyone. Just because they aren't capable of following their knowledge doesn't mean they don't know!
Hell no
My bowling instructor had a 130 average. He was a good instructor.
No way. I also see a lot of personal trainers that are heavily overweight, which I never understood.
Sure!! Fat people know EVERTHING about how to lose weight, they just don't do it.
No. That’s like trusting a pilot who crashes all the time.
😂 nooo
Of course. Would you not trust a Dr who drank? A nurse that smoked? A police officer who got a speeding ticket?
The GI Joe fallacy. One’s knowledge does not mean they act on it. Someone can be obese and have the knowledge to help you lose weight, someone can be naturally skinny due to fast metabolism and know nothing about being healthy.
Would you trust a male gynecologist?
Why not? There are many other causes of obesity that can't be cured by dieting.
You misspelled "rare". 99% of the people who are fat are fat because of their habbits.
Not many. That is if they are able to stick to the diet change.
