I'd like to consult a dietician too, but how do you find one? And when you find them, how do you research their "track record"--that is, how do you look for a good one? And what can you expect from them when you meet?

Lots of questions, I know, but I'm struggling like never before with excess weight--maybe it's menopause. I need to talk to someone who can make reliable suggestions and help me follow them. TIA for any advice on this score.
