EXACTLY!!!!! Doctors need to stop giving nutrition advice because most of them have ZERO nutrition classes in their educational track. If they are required to take a nutrition class, it is only one and it is little more than a perspectives class. That whole oath of first do no harm needs to include a stick to your scope of practice clause because a lot of them are harming their patients with bogus nutrition information. I dont perform surgery or prescribe medications because they are outside my scope of practice. Doctors need to do the same and quit with the diet and exercise recommendations. You refer them to me for exercise and a registered dietitian (the only ones who can legally prescribe a diet, not even those of us with nutritionist certifications or even my nutrition minor can legally give specific kilocalorie numbers) for nutrition, and well refer them to you for actual medical issues.
