From many of the questions that are asked to me in the emails, I realize that there is a bit of confusion regarding the differences between a nutritionist or a dietician and even more so there are many people who dress in authority on their blogs or sites. providing private and paid consultations on diet and nutrition, even though they are neither dieticians nor nutritionists, but “nutritionists of the soul”, “scientists of nature”, “for years interested in the issues of nutrition”. But what are we talking about? I too have been interested in nutrition for years, this does not make me an expert , nor could I ever give consultations in a private practice or get paid.
To help you unravel some clouds on the differences between dietician and nutritionist, I summarize you that:
– The only doctor, the one who must have a degree in medicine, is the dietician.
– The nutritionist can be a doctor, but also not.
