The best and worst parts about being a dietitian, confidence tips- Q+A time!

[@loussel03]

I am also a dietitian from the Philippines and I know how hard it is to get the compliance of the patient whenever we're doing the nutrition education. I love you videos btw ❤

[@amandavsevilla]

Oh man!! You are the undercover backbone of the Filipino health! What kind of diets do you guys prescribe to your patients there?

[@loussel03]

@@amandavsevilla I believe that there is no a one size fits all diet for all the patients. So I'm recommending a diet based on their current conditions, laboratory results and their preference of course.

@Marcelo Jamari i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

You are so badass! Your growth is insane and very evident. Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration to me for years now.

[@amandavsevilla]

Thanks love!!!! Hope you are staying safe and sanitized :)

[@jankaella]

I was just listening to this while doing some homework and wow I am going through so many similar situations, especially with the mornings and doing things for myself ! I mostly go on walks but today was a cleaning up and journaling kind of morning , xx Janka

[@amandavsevilla]

Take advantage of the amazing times we get to clean and journal :)

[@wendepatrella2018]

Awesome!! This makes me excited to become an RD!! Also, I can relate to you on many levels, especially when dealing with confidence!! It's been a crazy journey with that, but we'll get there!! :) Thanks again for the honesty!! :)

[@typicalsnapshot]

Just want to say thanks for reminding us of reflection again. I feel like acting according to intuition or feeling is actually often the healthy thing to do if listen, like actually listen 🙈 I too feel like after some time you get a better view of things. It's so funny, I've known your channel since you were still at uni, and I was too then.

[@amandavsevilla]

I think it’s so awesome that we’ve been growing “together” :) Thanks for watching!

[@synthiacollins2139]

Omg thank you!! Amanda I needed to hear this video!, yes I'm both lazy and tired and I have to start writing things down. A light came on appreciate you!!!!!!🥰

[@robertturner1308]

Love your videos. I am studying to be a dietician now and am a vegan as well. I went vegan after seeing my dad have multiple heart attacks on the Standard American diet. Figured if he would not change I could evolve myself and eat much better. Now I hope to teach others about a whole food vegan diet since 647,000 Americans die every year from heart disease according to the CDC. Not to downplay the COVID19 risks, but at this time 400 Americans have died from it. Heart disease, strokes, and some cancers are big risks. I think you are doing important work and I hope to join you someday as a dietician.

[@amandavsevilla]

Thanks for joining and for your passion to help others! We could always use more vegan dietitians.

[@agustingamez113037]

What would be your advise for someone that is an introvert who sucks at making connections? also, I am trying to be more extrovert. I am on the Dietetics track as well

[@lindseyflax8541]

yay! first. love being first lol. you rock girl. stay well.

[@amandavsevilla]

Love when you are first :)

[@kindahmustafa7248]

hey! I want to become a dietitian later on, however does it mean i have to vegan or vegetarian or does it not matter?! and I love your videos

[@MiissJuliet]

Dietetic student here :) You don’t have to be vegan, vegetarian, etc to become a dietitian. I personally am vegan but it’s not like it’s a requirement - I went vegan way before even deciding to go to school for dietetics.

[@sarapardo2422]

Hi! I am vegan and am interested in becoming a dietitian but one of my instructors told me most health care facilities require annual flu shots which are not vegan. I am just wondering if this is true and if it has been an issue for you. Thanks so much!

[@tgh7695]

Why do you want to become a physician instead of remaining a dietitian? Because im contemplating the same choice and still can’t decide on it really because both choices seem equal in a way to me... as im currently studying to become an RD :)

[@amandavsevilla]

Physician was plan A, being a dietitian is just a side quest haha

[@jaclyntiffany5367]

I might be asking too early since I'm only a few minutes into the video, but do you remember how your per diem schedule was, how many hours and days a week it was, and whether you had any flexibility with hours, etc? May be getting a per diem position soon! Ty!

[@amandavsevilla]

It was really flexible since my hospital needs all the RDs they can get. The only thing is that I can’t go over 5 shifts per 2-week pay period so I would normally just work the weekends and that would easily meet my 5 shift max. Other per diems are only available mondays and Wednesday’s for example so that’s how they are scheduled. My boss is really forgiving and flexible though so it also depends on who makes your schedules.

[@justbeingania]

Love this! Just curious though, what are you in school for now?

[@amandavsevilla]

Pre courses for med school :) explained it all in my “catch up vid” !

[@justbeingania]

@@amandavsevilla gotcha! Perfect, I'll go catch up on all your vids now haha

[@jaclyntiffany5367]

Something I thought of, how is it promoting a plant based diet (subtly like you do) amongst other dietitians? Do they ever try and go against your opinion/ do you experience any conflict or opposition, or do they generally agree with you even if they arent plant based themselves? Has your example helped encourage them to start talking about plant based diets more with their patients? Just wondering. Thanks!

[@amandavsevilla]

No they know that a plant based diet can be healthy if planned properly. And seeing as I have had a lot of experience and education with plant based nutrition they don’t doubt or question my opinion. It’s all just “everyone eats what they eat” type thing. We all definitely shit on keto and low carb diets though haha

[@jaclyntiffany5367]
