Detox Plan – Don’t Trust a Nutritionist

You know the difference between a nutritionist and a doctor? About 4-10 years of school. Why on earth would you listen to nutritionists and marketers when it comes to health? Not saying nutrionists and lifestyle newspaper writers are dumb people, a qualified nutritionist or dietician can do wonders to put you back on track if you’re been an idiot with your diet.

What you do’nt want to do is take medical advice from someone who stands to make a profit from your choices, or who just seems to be piggybacking on prevailing popular opinion.

When it comes to cleanses any doctor wroth their salt will tell you they’re unproven. That doesn’t mean the ‘diet clenases’ where you eliminate certain foods or eat healthier are bad. No, but the the ludcrious notion you need pills to cleanse your bowels is false. Purely false. No independent study claims you need pills to do the job of a well balanced diet.

Don’t get fooled by people with a stake in your ‘health’ choices. Ask your doctor and do some due diligence online. Remember, doctors are doctors because they’ve put in the time at school. Lifestyle writers or nutritionists can drop out of high school and take a course at community college. Who you gonna trust?

    It is not the number of years in college that makes the difference it is the content of what is studied. I don’t know what they cover in medical school curricula nowadays but I doubt they spend much more time on nutrition now than they did 25 years ago. The average doctor is DISMALLY IGNORANT about nutrition. I’d talk to a nutritionist about nutrition. Would certainly concur with a credentials check on the nutritionist AS MUCH AS I ALSO AM PRETTY PICKY ABOUT WHICH MED SCHOOLS’ GRADUATES I’D GO TO. A nutritionist and a marketer is simply not the same thing. Your post is confused and misleading.
