The last time you turned on the television or opened a magazine did you feel inundated with “diet” information? What are the stars doing? What is the latest quick fix? What is good, what is bad? Feeling like you don't know where to start, or who is feeding you accurate info? These are the reasons you need a Registered Dietitian. R.D.'s will sort through the confusion and put you on a path of healthy food choices to achieve your goals. Ask yourself “What am I being sold?” With a Dietitian you are being offered knowledge and skills you need to make healthy decisions, with everyone else you are just being SOLD!

Why does it seem harder to lose weight each time I try?

The term for this is “yo-yo” dieting because just like a yo-yo your weight falls but when you go off whatever “fad” diet you've chosen you regain the weight you were able to lose and then some. The next time you try to lose that weight it's harder because your metabolism has changed, and not for the better. On crash diets you lose muscle and when you regain, you regain fat. The bottom line is that muscle works for you and fat works against you so if each time you yo-yo you lose the “good” and gain the “bad” it's harder to lose the next time around.
