(I hope this is the right area)
I'm deciding whether or not to see a natropath. Are they useful?
I have really bad eating habits:
Breakfast: Sandwich with spread (chocolate or peanutbutter) and a cold milo
Lunch: What ever I grab (pasta, sandwich, takeaway, nothing)
Tea/Dinner: What ever is made, but usually veges (5 nights a week)
Snacks:Muslie bars, biscuits, lollies
Drinks: Majority of the time it's juice
I should be eating way better then that. Would they help?

Yes they can help, but their not so much about diet, but deal more with preventing and curing ailments.
They deal with food intolerances, stomach pains, fatigue, sport nutrition, infections etc.
I will let you know how I go and what their sessions are like. I am seeing one myself in two days about fatigue and stomach pains. So I'll tell you about things they suggest, prices (which will be in AU$) and if they are worth it or not.
But if you are looking simply only at your diet, although natropaths can help in weight loss, you would probably be better in seeing your doctor or a dietician.

Well I went to see a natropath today and walked out with $300 AU less in my wallet sad
I did not realise how expensive it would be!!
Well this is how it went...
- She asked me to fill in a form about my details such as my name, age address etc, why I'm there, medical details and if I'm taking any medications as well as any allergies.
- She questioned me about everything: diet, periods, digestion, breathing, skin, eyes, memory etc
- She then read over the notes and came to a colnclusion about what is going on in my body to cause the affects.
- After speaking to me about her thoughts, she then went through my diet: what I shouldn't be eating, what I should be eating, the vitamins and minerals, the nutritional information of the food I should be eating and why.
- She then wrote out an example diet plan for me to follow and gave me a lot of vitamins and mineral supplements.
- She told me what to take and when to take it as well as what the tablets were for and how they would help me.
- After all that, I purchased the stuff, paid for the consultation and made another apointment for a check up to see if everything is working in 2 weeks time.

eek Oh my god, that is EXPENSIVE... $300 AU? As in, Australian dollars? Holy, I will never be able to afford that much...guess I'm just going to have to make do without a naturopath. 4laugh
However, it did sound like you got a lot of information out of your session, so that's a good thing.

Yes that is Australian, I was expecting to pay around $200, but it was a lot more then that. I went mainly because I get fatigued really easily, especially when I exercise (so tired that I will sleep up to 12 hrs a night, plus a 2-3hr nap in the afternoon). So for the price, it had better work I've been to so many doctors about it and they've never done a thing about it. So trying elsewhere. It costs so much because of all the supplimants she gave me.
