RESPOND TO THIS POST AS A STUDENT IN 150 WORDS. SIMPLY SAYING I AGREE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. ADD TO THE CONVERSATION BY GIVING NEW INFO RELATED TO THE SUBJECT OR BY GIVING A NEW VIEWPOINT. “There is a tendency for professional trainers to give their clients nutritional information the coincide with an exercise plan. Although illegal, professionals can give their clients general education without overstepping the RD’s. Self-proclaimed experts can face legal actions such as being sued due to false advertisement since they are only certified to give advice on fitness. An example of this would be a client that is coming to them for weight loss. Appropriate behavior for this kind of client would be to recommend them to an RD for any nutritional advice, and creating an exercise plan suited for them with any important information they have given you. Inappropriate behavior would be to hear that they are coming to you for weight loss, and you automatically advise them to take supplements promising fast acting results. Another inappropriate behavior would be to create an entire meal plan for them just based off the fact that they are trying to lose weight.”
