In the UK things are slightly easier. The word "dietician" is reserved. It is illegal to call yourself a dietician unless you have specific qualifications and are registered.

Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. I could set up shop tomorrow, calling myself a nutritionist.

That's made a bit more complex because you have sensible nutritionists working within public health doing real science, and you have wingnuts.

The word 'dietitian' is protected similarly in the United States, and the word 'nutritionist' is similarly unprotected.
