First off disclaimer, I am not saying a dietitian can take the place of your therapist. Therapists are necessary for eating disorders and different degrees of disordered eating patterns to help you in your relationship with food. In fact, I was lucky enough to have a licensed therapist on the show in episode: #15 Food Therapy & Body Acceptance, be sure check out licensed therapist, Cheri @foodfreedomtherapist.

The connection here is, how many times do you see a therapist? Weekly, bi-monthly? It is usually on a consistent basis.

If you are needing to make a change in your eating habits, maybe adapting intuitive eating practices, or building a base of balanced nutrition, a couple sessions with a registered dietitian may not cut it.  You may need to take a consistent practice of meeting with a dietitian longer than a couple of weeks because learning this process takes time and practice. And if meeting with a dietitian is not necessary for you at this time, then what can you do to help you through this journey?  Let me explain . . .
