  • Im sorry to feel this way, but I could never take a fat dietician seriously and would not want to see one for advice/treatment (like the one at 38 seconds). Even if they were very knowledgeable.

  • @crewchamp13 I'm aiming to become a dietitian and I like to keep fit, probably for the same reason in your comment. I think that it's only fair to make sure your own diet and fitness is good if your going to advise others on theirs.

  • most dieticians i have seen need to lose weight themselves. i want to do this so bad but it pays horrible. :(

  • .... a "nutricianist" .... ?

  • CareerRx... you might want to spell check next time you post a video about dietitians

  • woah 0:45 that dietician needs to get a dietician for herself

  • i heard that the term Dietician is the leagally protected term whereas the term nutritionist is not a protected term so anyone can say they are one

  • @manngunner yea thats why u need to be a licensed dietician and if dont have one you'll end up gettin fine or arrested

  • I am an RD, LD. You do see more females in the field, but males are also in the profession. I feel males have an advantage when looking for a professional job.

  • I have friends who are RD's - it is not an easy degree to obtain. Lots of Science courses ie. Chemistry, Bio-chemistry, etc. not mention, an internship and a very vigorous work schedule afterwards

  • Forgot to mention the science classes mentioned below are just prerequisites to the principles of nutrition/advanced nutrition and medical nutrition therapy (disease) classes that are required for the dietetic degree. Other subjects include food service business management, food sanitation, statistics, food science technology, psychology, counseling, teaching, etc. If interested in pursuing the dietetics profession, check out the American Dietetic Association website for more info.

  • Being a RD is just not about planning menus and everybody thinks it is easy degree to acquire.. It is scientific oriented. Any B.S. nutrition/dietetics degree involves chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, microbiology, human anatomy &physiology. Those classes alone turn off many freshman and they go to a easy degree such as communications. In addition, a rigorous internship plus a national registration exam is a requirement for RD status.

  • I am a male in college become a dietitian. It is female dominate and I love it!! ;)

  • @Nelvarro

    your full of shit,that job you need 4 years of university and must obtain a degree not just going to college stupid,also it's a very very hard job 2 get.

  • @Nelvarro

    I sent you a message with my email..I'd love to ask you about the field. Does anyone know what kind of house RD's work?

  • @Nelvarro lol..that's also one of my reason of choosing dietetic course..ahaha..

  • is a Dietician a girls job?

  • I think so. Most videos I see with dieticians are women. I´m a guy and I have though about becoming a dietican or nutritionist beause I´m interested in health. I want to work in or maybe open my own health /supplement store.

  • Of course it's not a 'girl's job' (though a large majority of dietitians are women). Martin Yadrick, a registered dietitian, happens to be president of the American Dietetic Association.

  • no, but women do dominate like nursing.

  • It's a female dominated job, but there also male dietitians. One example is Mr. Martin Yadrick. He was 2007 ADA (American Dietetic Association) president. Most of the male Dietitians work in the foodservice industry.

  • @Arctichayze18

    That's what I was thinking too. I told my academic advisor that I wanted to major in dietitecs and his eye brows raised, chuckled, and at me like what..why? Look at the pay! It's good and the class work is a breeze!!

  • do you really think that majorin in dietitecs is easier cause I just wanna chose an easy major
