Imagine if people spoke of dietitians the way they spoke of therapists. Imagine if you read a woe-is-me thread and it was filled with 300 comments of "You need to see a dietitian." Imagine reading captions like this and they instead said "I've been seeing a dietitian for a few weeks and it has changed my life." It sounds so strange, and that is strange, because a dietitian, I would wager, will have a much, much high efficacy in terms of improving the lives of most people. Therapy won't help Flow. She could be in therapy for the next 30 years and nothing will change. A diet, on the other hand, would make her mentally unrecognisable in a matter of months and physically unrecognisable in a year or two. It is scandalous that therapy is so mainstream despite inconsistent and questionable results compared to the stigma around improving your diet and lifestyle.
