A member asked:
When should someone consult with a registered dietician?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many reasons: If you need to follow a specific diet for a medical condition (like diabetes mellitus). If you need to address specific nutritional deficiencies and when very high or very low weight need to be addressed. These are just a few reasons.
