r/DietitiansSaidWhatNow is a subreddit with 2k members. The most common kinds of discussions are pain & anger and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses dietitian, dietitians, nutrition, health, and keto.
Because some things dietitians say should be etched in stone.
The dietitian industry resists change, resists LCHF, promotes F&V&whole grains without evidence, takes $$$ from Big Food, promotes "well-planned" vegan diets while pretending that carnivore diets are impossible. Becoming an RD is expensive with a 1yr unpaid internship, and the sunk cost & indoctrination results in a zombie-like attitude to conflicting info.
A few dietitians change and become Phoenix Dietitians.
