Nutritionists - Pros??
After whining about my weight gain, a femaile Oncologist suggested I see a Nutritionist. I'm a life-time member of Weight Watchers due to my yo-yo dieting techniques of gaining and losing every 2 years. Just wondering if any of you gals sought out a nutritionist at your medical facility, and if you felt it was very beneficial. I am thinking it might be of benefit not just for the weight gain/loss but to learn how to eat healthier so I can live to be a ripe old age as a survivor.
