News last week reinforced the power of in-person visits, phone conversations, or even emails to registered dietitians for those who need a diet coach to help them stick with their weight-loss program.<\/p>\n

The study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine<\/em><\/a>, tested the added effectiveness of having a registered dietitian’s (RD) support while on a weight-loss diet.<\/p>\n

More than 375 subjects were randomly assigned to one of five groups: 1) Frequent in-person visits with a RD; 2) infrequent RD visits; 3) frequent phone calls to RDs; 4) frequent emails to RDs, and 5) no access to RDs. The subjects were enrolled in the study for six months and were also given a weight-loss medication, a diet manual, and access to a diet website.<\/p>\n

Just over 13 pounds or 6% lost with minimal in-person visits<\/li>\n

Nearly 12 pounds or 6% initial body weight loss with frequent emails<\/li>\n

Just over 11 pounds or 5% lost with no RD support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
In addition to the professional advice provided by the dietitians, the researchers found that those who lost the most weight also spent more time accessing the online web-based support tools. For example, those who lost the most weight logged on to the weight loss site 72 times compared to 50 times for the self-help group during the duration of the study.<\/p>\n
This is great news for my profession as well as anyone seeking to lose weight using online tools or resources. For those inclined to meet a RD individually, a great way to locate one in your area is via the American Dietetic Association’s website<\/a> or the Sports, Cardiovascular and Wellness Nutrition website<\/a>.<\/p>\n
If you aren’t up for an in-person visit, feel free to post your diet questions or concerns in response to this blog and I'll do my best to respond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
