    Nutritionist

    Has anyone gone to see a nutritionist? If so, what it worth it? Did they do anything that you couldn't of done yourself? I was thinking of going to see one when the summer is over to help me bulk. I might give up the AS for good or at least till next summer. I am not sure if this is the right forum for this questin of not I am sorry.

    I think you can find out everything you need to know right here. However if that doesnt work after a while then it might be worth it to talk to an RD. Talk to Swole.

    my gf's brother went to a nutritionalist and they told him every fast food meal he eats will add on 5lbs of weight. (basically telling him how unhealthy it is). he told them that is impossible and never went back

    I dont know if that is his official title or not, but he does have a program. He is as far as you need to search for a source of knowledge about nutrition though.

    They are for people that dont work out and are fat asses and they go by all the FDA rules and the food pyramid.. Needless to say people who work out needs more protein and calories than regular people who sit on their asses all day.. Atleast the one i went to at school was a dumbass... get on swole's program and you'll be glad you did guaranteed.. nice guy and takes care of you if you respect him. Best money i've ever spent was the money that put me on SGX.

    See I was looking for someone I can meet face to face. This way they can take my bf%, etc.. I was thinking about taking swoles program. My friend was telling me about this nutritionist he heard of that a lot of people who are in comps. go to around here. My friend says he has some of his clients pics on the wall and they are sick looking. But at the same time, my friend went to a nutrionist, and I posted his diet on here one time and members made quite a few changes. Dont get me wrong my friend looks sick.

    I know what you mean about the face to face thing, when i first came here i made a similar comment, but I have since realized that if i want to start a program it will be Swole's. You have to understand that everyone will have different ideas of what a perfect diet is. All you need to do though is find someone who can show you their clients success. That is all that matters! Proof of a successful program through former and current clients!

    having done 2.5 years of graduate work in nutrition, i can say that as far as "getting big" and "cutting up" go, just stick to this forum, b/c pretty much every question has been asked and answered, (or will be gladly answered)....
    unless you have specific metabolic issues or vitamin imbalances, USE THE SEARCH BUTTON

    Swole's bulking diet is called SUP2. SGX is the cutting program. I am on the SGX diet and can't comment on the SUP program as I have never been on it. As for you wanting to meet the person in person, Swole is great for responding to all of your emails. If you get on his program, you can just send him picks and from them he can help you. I'm sure Swole is going to chime in, but I just wanted to let you know that he is great at responding to emails and lots of support on his client only forum.

    I am really thinking about swoles program. Everyone is making it sound good. But I wonder what is the difference between his progrman and one you would get from a nutritionist?

    Well basically look at him. He is giving you a program from a bodybuilding perspective. His methods are not only based on science but on experience. Methods that are proven to work. Its not to say that you cant get equal results with a local nutritionist, but at least with swole you know you are getting someone who has acheived the very goals that you are looking to acheive. To be a nutritionist or an RD all you have to do is pass some tests. To have a great body you have to use applied knowledge. Basically im just saying that results speak for themselves so whether or not its Swole or anyone else, like i said before just look at what results they have acheived.

    I dont know how much his programs cost, i know it varies, but Im if i ever do use it, it wont be til i have a career type job. I have too many expenses being in college right now. His help on here has been a lifesaver though. He must be signed off if he hasnt chimed in yet...

    I have emailed him and got the cost already. See I hopefully want to stop using AS and would like to start gaining natural. Maybe before next summer Ill go back on.(hopefully not). I was going to put the xtra money toward a nutritionist, so this way I still see more gains then If I was to do nothing.

    just pass a test to beceome an RD??? i dont think so buddy. grad school, hospital work. nutritionist is a joke yes. RD is the real deal, you lear about everything and anything. an RD must be prepared to handle a diet with bodybuilding goals right down to an obese diabetic who NEEDS to drop weight. SO EASE UP D@MNIT!!!

    Mostly everything you need to know in terms of dieting and changing your physique is all right here in the diet section. Honestly, it is. But if you want someone to take the guesswork out of dieting and design you a personalized program, you should inquire about Swole's services.

    Yeah, a Registered Dietitian is a lot different then a Nutritionist.

    DCB- Are you planning on working at a hospital when you become a RD?

    About getting a nutritionist, I would say if you can't get motivated yourself. They are great for getting you going and sticking with your diet. A lot of them will call you and send you things. If you can get one for a good deal then get one.

    Def man. i woud like to work with and help the obese. seeing how overeating leads to heart disease, which is the worlds number one killer. I would also like to do something one day like swole does, but that cant wait. i have been both obese and have gone threw months of having an eating disorder, so that is why i would like to target my information toward those types of ppl.

    Didnt mean to upset you DCB, just trying to make a point that people who have similar goals as yourself might be the best people to get help from. I wasnt trying to discredit you or RD's in general. My bad.

    Nutritionist: a specialist in the study of nutrition. The specialist you go to should be familiar with your goals. And as far as I am concerned, formal schooling doesn't deem a successful nutritionist - their list of successful clients does...
