Top 5 Accredited Practising Dietitian Blogs to Follow may be a bit of a stretch for a title since I don’t follow every single dietitian blog out there, however, “Top 5 Accredited Practising Dietitian Blogs to Follow that I know of” didn’t quite have the same authority… Either way, I’ve compiled a list of blogs that I consider to be among the best in this space.
