“Never trust a fat dietitian”

“Never trust a fat dietitian” (sometimes misspelled “dietician”) is a humorous saying often credited to “anonymous.” A dietitian who can’t lose weight seemingly can’t help you lose weight. “Never trust a fat dietician” (sic) has been cited in print since at least 1998.
 
Similar sayings include “Never trust a skinny chef” (cited in print since 1965) and “Never trust a skinny ice cream maker/man” (from Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry’s, and cited in print since at least 1991).
