Looking for a dietician
Hey!
I'm currently supporting someone with an eating disorder. They'd like a meal plan to help with their recovery, and I was wondering if there are any professionals who could point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Alex
@Waluigi420 Hi Alex! Thanks for your commitment to helping the members of our community!
A meal plan can be a really helpful tool in recovery from an eating disorder, but they are also very individualized and can depend on so many factors and health determinants. For many dietitians, it is unethical to provide this information/consultation online and without being able to assess physical health, and it wouldn't be appropriate for a listener to assign a meal plan over 7 Cups even if they are a registered dietitian.
I would encourage this member to search for dietitians in their area, or dietitians who are specifically licensed to take online clients. Due to the pandemic, many are taking new clients at reduced rates.
This is a good search tool for dietitians--you can filter by a specialization in eating disorders and by state in which they practice.
Best of luck!
