[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to a dietician/nutritionist at a hospital about 6 months ago.  I have a lot more than 12 pounds to lose.  She told me I "needed to make some changes" and "needed to eat more vegetables" (i.e., nothing that I didn't already know). I was hoping for a little more help in making those changes and incorporating more vegetables. [/quote]

What sort of help making changes were you expecting? Meal planning help? Life hacks? I’m not trying to be critical, I’m genuinely curious. Because if those are the sorts of things you want, I bet you can find a site or an app that helps with them, or could post in the food thread here for recipes.

I’m not in DC so I can’t recommend, but the things my RD helped me with to lose weight involved changing my habits as well as changing my diet. Things like only eating at the table, no tv or distractions, how long meals should last, putting my fork down between bites so I can chew food very well. Basically how to make a meal last long enough that my body can feel full but not so long I’d get bored and have seconds. I also worked with a psychologist to get to the root of some of my food issues and help break the emotional eating cycle. One of the biggest things is to keep my hands busy so I’m not reaching for food to stuff my face, and to only eat at scheduled mealtimes so my brain doesn’t start expecting food rewards at random times.
