Referral for a Registered Dietician for weight loss.
I am looking for a Registered Dietician (RD) for weight loss. If you have had
good experience and/or good results with one in the SB/Goleta area, I
would appreciate hearing about it. (Please note, I am not interested in
Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, etc.)

I have worked with Dale Figtree over the last year. I've lost 50+ pounds and brought my cholesterol and triglyceride levels back into the normal range. I feel healthier than I have since childhood. Best of all, I don't have food cravings or feel hungry, as I did trying other weightloss programs.
She's not a Registered Dietician, but you might consider her.
Her office phone number is 563-4904.

I was referred by my doctor to Geri at Sansum. I had high cholesterol and wanted to lose weight. She was great about finding a plan that worked for me. I have lost ten pounds in the last month with just a few changes that do not make me feel like I am being cheated. She will even use email and an app to track progress instead of having to set up regular appointments.

Smart choice. Much better than the wild fad diets, magic food formulas, and advice from the "health" food (aka chemical emporiums) store clerks.

Good choice to get a professional opinion. I think the majority of many fad diets are geared toward simply losing weight by any means necessary. They may be effective, but very unhealthy. I wish more had the sentiment of losing weight, exercising, and eating healthy to BE healthy. You only get one life, why squander it on something like food or laziness. Just remember, it will be one day at a time...

I am the one who posted this question. @SMAC6590, I did the Sansum Weight Loss Program for 7 months, and it caused me some problems, so I can't do that again. @298901P, is that Gerri French?

Look up the classic MadTV sketch on youtube with Christa Flannegan called "Eat Less Move Move". It is a hoot. MadTV was so much better than SNL with an extremely talented staff of writers and actors. Sorry to see it go, but this one luckily is in the net forever. It will never get old/

There's a ton of great book/online resources too. Being a 50+ woman, the only thing that has kept me thin is walking 3+ miles EVERY day (or biking 20 miles). Ideally add a half hour of yoga or pilates and/or weight lifting 3x a week. Avoid simple starches, sugar and bump up non-starchy vegetables, protein and healthy fats to top out at 1,200 calories/day. That's pretty much what they're going to tell you and if you don't you exercise nearly every day, it's not going to last according to a bunch of recent studies. Good luck!

Thanks for the referrals! But I didn't ask for Edhat community weight loss advice; I am actually quite knowledgeable about weight loss. I have issues that I wish to have a qualified dietician help me with.

Robin Marzi, who has a tiny office at San Ysidro Pharmacy, is outstanding. She's reasonable with her fees, but even better, she's extremely knowledgable, very individual and a great communicator. She gives you as much info as you can handle, and always has more to give... 805-963-0330 is her number. Leave a message; she will get back to you though it will take a few days bcs. she does research some days - isn't in her office 5 days a week.
