Rhiannon Lambert (born 1989) is an English registered nutritionist, author and advocate of plant-rich dietary patterns. She specializes in eating disorders and weight management.
Lambert was born in 1989. [1] She obtained a BSc in Nutrition and Health in 2014 and an MSc in Obesity, Risks and Prevention in 2016 from University of Roehampton. [2] She is a master practitioner in eating disorders approved by the British Psychological Society and a Level 3 personal trainer. [3] Lambert is the founder of Rhitrition, a private nutrition clinic on Harley Street. [4] She is the host of the Food for Thought podcast which has over 7 million listens. [4]
Lambert is an advocate of plant-based nutrition and has noted that a common misconception is that plant-based diets and veganism are the same. [5] According to Lambert, "plant-based simply means eating more plants and finding ways to incorporate more plants into your diet, not excluding all animal products". [5] In 2024, she authored The Science of Plant-Based Nutrition. [6] Lambert has recommended broccoli, carrots, kale, red cabbage and sweet potatoes as some of the most nutritious vegetables. [7] She has argued that eating steak once a week is "absolutely fine" if the rest of the diet is predominantly plant-based. [8] She has recommended the consumption of eggs, stating "they’re a naturally nutritious food that’s accessible to everyone, protein-rich and vitamin-filled. They are a healthy food that’s great value for money and they’re wonderfully versatile – a staple for a balanced, healthy diet". [9]
Lambert has criticized fad diets such as clean eating and the carnivore diet for making claims unsupported by scientific evidence. [5] [10] [11] She has written for The Telegraph and Women's Health . [12] [13]
