I am translating an article from an American magazine and I found "Ch.Forberg, R.D., nutritionist for NBC's..." Is an R.D.a doctor? <br />Does anybody know if "R.D" is "dietista" in Spaish? (A "dietista" is a M.D. here).<br />Interesting blog.<br />Thanks!GGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292833559821687631.post-67177631413495825482009-08-16T16:59:05.532-04:002009-08-16T16:59:05.532-04:00can you explain when is a nutritionist oversteppin...can you explain when is a nutritionist overstepping their boundaries into the realm of an RD... for an example someone with a cscs and issn certification.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206015943517234571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292833559821687631.post-11213385849638874912009-08-14T22:25:03.077-04:002009-08-14T22:25:03.077-04:00If I really really wanted good solid advice (for a...If I really really wanted good solid advice (for anything), I wouldn't catch it on the boob tube.<br /><br />I'd spend time researching the topic online to get the best information.

However, do you know if this has ever been actually researched and proven? Don't you think it might depend on the person and their system and not be the same across the board? <br /><br />Amy: If you're a vegan and need a great post-workout protein choice, why not try 70% hemp protein? It's a complete protein that doesn't have the hormonal side effects that soy has. See the link on my blog to learn more. There's also rice protein as another alternative. <br /><br />For frequency: I'd limit it as much as you possibly can. There are a lot of bars out there without soy in them - they use rice or nut protein instead and taste very good. <br /><br />Thanks Bernee! Great to know! I don't watch enough TV to know this...

Making this switch can be helpful.<br /><br />On the soy isolate protein, how much do you feel is "safe" to use on a daily or weekly basis? Or would you recommend avoiding it altogether? I have been using it to make occasional shakes after weight workouts, because I try to follow a mainly vegan diet. I also sometimes use a protein bar that also contains the soy isolates.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660226121368987312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-292833559821687631.post-35381521337621230602009-08-11T09:35:03.613-04:002009-08-11T09:35:03.613-04:00Wow, food for thought.

I would think it is hard to make nutritional recommendations to such a general audience as on a national tv show.<br /><br />The fruit after dinner thing is part of the 'food combining' movement. Fro what I've read, they believe that fruit digests the quickest of all foods, therefore should be eaten first and not combined with any other food which could keep the digested fruit from leaving your body quickly.
