OK, but that's not what you said.

"but I wouldn't take dietary advice from anyone who isn't a registered dietitian,"

I have to disagree with you to some extent.
I'm not saying that educational background or having some sort of "proof" that you are well-educated have zero value but it still doesn't make one an expert of his/her field.

Just because you have read lot of books and completed a course of some sort is not gonna have that much value if you don't know how to put all this information and knowledge in to practice.
Especially in this sport individual differences can be sometimes so drastic that you really cannot apply same principles to everyone. You have to be a problem solver and learn what works best for each person

ps. Didn't know Jose also has an account here. Cool!

That’s fair! I only speak of what I know to be true from my own experience!
