Today I tried to find a dietitian or a nutritionist near me. Silly me, I thought it would be like to find a local dentist. I wouldn't call it a total failure. But you think in a large metropolitan area there are plenty of them. Well, I found some, but not too narrow and it was not easy.
For the first time out I tried the phone book. If you look up nutritionist or dietitian in the phone book you will see large full color ads of Nutrisystem diet programs and other popular followed by some other real estate in lowercase. what good.
Then I tried typing the word nutrionist in yellow pages online that I received ranged from listing of CNG and other vitamin stores, the listing of centers that provide food to low-income mothers, the actual listings to nutritionists. But several of telephone numbers that I called don't work, and those who did were for nutritionist who worked for some health insurance plans that I wasn't.
So I called my insurance provider and asked them can they find me dietition or nutritionist who is on my plane. the operator asked me "is this for diabities?". I said "not for weight loss". She said "Ok, is not covered nutritionists to slimming".
Now this is interesting because overweight are blamed rising everyones prizes and anything else .... but the weight loss is not covered at least by my company.
But the operator let me know that they have coupons and discounts for Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, gyms and other services. So I guess it saves faces a little.
I found a place that I really liked, but it is a little distant only to go to a medical office. I hate to think what would happen if I lived in rural area.
Now I see why Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig and weight watchers are so popular.
