About Los Angeles Registered Dietitians
There are several requirements to become a registered dietitian (RD) in California.
Education and Age
The minimum age to become an RD is 18 years old. Candidates must have a relevant bachelor’s degree and complete a Didactic Program in Dietetics that is approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics.
Experience and Registration
Candidates much complete at least 1,200 hours of work experience under the direct supervision of a registered dietitian. California doesn’t have a state license for registered dietitians, but RDs must pass an exam and register with the Commission on Dietetic Registration. They must renew their registration every five years and complete 75 hours of continuing professional education during that time.
Get Over the Los Angeles Hurdles and Get Back to Health
In a big city like Los Angeles, you have access to countless resources, diet centers, and nutrition counselors. But all those choices don’t necessarily mean that it’s easy to find a specialist or the right plan for you, especially if you’re looking for improved sports performance instead of a weight loss program. Our goal is to help you overcome the unique challenges Los Angeles presents so you can improve your health.
Unhealthy convenience foods
Many parts of Los Angeles are saturated with fast-food restaurants and small convenience stores packed with highly processed, pre-packaged foods. Takeout and food delivery apps are also very prevalent. Those meals can seem like the best option for overworked professionals and families juggling busy schedules. Without easy access to healthier items, many people rely on processed foods which are quick and simple but detrimental to one’s health.
Transportation issues
Problems with Los Angeles’s public transportation system have existed for a long time, but the Covid-19 pandemic has worsened them. For many LA residents, public transport isn’t available. Meanwhile, Los Angeles is legendary for its traffic issues. Without an easy and reliable way to get to the supermarket, it’s hard for many residents to purchase and store the fresh ingredients they need to prepare healthy meals.
Food deserts
Although some parts of Los Angeles offer easy access to supermarkets, butcher shops, and farmers’ markets with a variety of fresh ingredients, that’s not the case everywhere in this vast city. Studies show that many parts of Los Angeles, especially in the south and east, qualify as food deserts with minimal access to healthy food.

Full Transparency Pros and Cons:
You can pursue many different avenues to improve your overall health, nutrition, and athletic performance. Use this comparison list to determine which option is right for you.
In-Person Sports Nutritionists
Pros
- Some people prefer the traditional setup of in-person counseling sessions with a nutritionist with whom you can discuss your progress face-to-face.
- A nutritionist in your city may understand the unique challenges of eating well and exercising in your local area and can modify your nutrition plan to accommodate those details.
Cons
- By choosing an in-person nutritionist, you limit yourself to the professionals in your local area. With an online platform, you have access to the top nutrition practitioners in the country.
- You may not be able to find a local specialist who has the experience and education to address your unique needs.
- In-person sessions are often limited to traditional business hours, which doesn’t work for many people who have busy schedules, family obligations, or rotating work shifts.
Online Meal Plans
Pros
- There are many different online meal plans for specific goals, from weight loss and diabetes management to athletic improvement and overall health management.
- Online meal plans may be more affordable and accessible than other options, including in-person nutrition counseling sessions and diet plans with prepared meals.
Cons
- It isn’t easy to verify the nutrition and health credentials of many online meal plan providers to know whether their advice is reliable and suitable for your unique goals.
- It can be hard to find meal plans that accommodate food allergies, dietary preferences, limited ingredient availability, and time constraints.
Diet Companies
Pros
- Diet companies offer straightforward weight loss programs for people who are happy to follow a rigorous set of rules.
- Some diet companies have apps and online forums so that participants can communicate with others.
Cons
- Diet companies usually promote a one-size-fits-all strategy for weight loss that typically involves caloric restriction. This is hardly ever sustainable in the long run, can result in severe metabolic damage, and can cause people to revert to their former eating habits.
Most diet companies offer plans focused on weight control rather than fitness and athletic performance. The nutrition advice they provide isn’t likely to help people build strength, speed, or stamina.
