Question Posted Monday June 13 2005, 9:12 pm

I told my mom I wanted to go on a diet and she thought it was a good idea to see a nutritionist. So before we could do that she had to make me an appoitment with my doctor. Im really scared because I dont know if she is going to measure my weight. I hate that and that is like my fear! Will she just talk to me about my eating or will she see how much I weight? Please answer! And what will the nutritionist tell me? Thanks so much. ♥

Most likely, they'll do a Body Mass Index (BMI). For this, the take your height and weight and do something to it and come up with a number. If your number is within a certain range, then it tell you whether you do or do not need to diet etc. You can get this here : [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Of course she is going to weigh you, how else will you be able to track your progress. I thought kids were just afraid of needles!
THe nutrionist, will ask you about your diet now, and then tell you what foods to avoid, like soda, chips, candy, cookies, cake, pie, doughnuts, etc, and tell you that you should eat more fresh veggies, and fruit and drink low fat milk, and low fat dairy products, and drink lots of water. Eat mostly chicken or turkey or fish, and no fried foods and cut way back on oils and butter.
And get some exercise each day.
I think it is a great idea that you want to loose weight, and that your mom is taking you to a nutritionist. Must of us get our food messages from TV where all the commercials are for fattening, fast food, that is very high in calories, and fat and salt. But no one in the commericals is fat. (and the secret is that no one in the commercials actually eats that stuff. Good luck to you.

she will weigh you, diagnose you, teach you about weight and correlations with dieting, and she'll guide you in eating healthy.

Yes, she'll weigh you. But don't worry about it! That's her job! She won't judge you. She's there to help you get healthy and lose weight. She'll ask you about your eating habits now and probably ask you how often you exercise. She'll tell you the kind of foods you should be eating and what portions you should be eating. She may even give you some recipes or meal ideas. Don't worry about her weighing you, she sees it everyday and soon you'll be eating better, getting healthier, and losing weight! Then you'll be proud for her to weigh you :-P Best of luck! Let me know if you need anything!

Hey yea i think the doctor probably will check and see how much you weigh and might talk to you about it.. a nutritionist will tell you something to eat and what not to eat.. like the nutritionists will probably give you an idea of how many calories or something to eat in a day.. and will probably give you some exercises to do also.. hope i helped ♥ Dez
