I am apparently the only person who wants to leave California for medical school....

If I get to cal for medical school it would be my first time living on the west coast. I want to get over there because I like the idea of having lived all over the United States before I settle down.

Seriously, who decided how many exclamation points goes in the titles of threads like this? Anyone else think that it's kind of an annoying trend. Am I the only one who would like them removed (or at least standardized between the threads...)?

I am pretty sure their was a competition between class threads when they were created to have the most exclamation marks.

Also in reference to Medpr
I also do not like California moved away from it to current place and like it a lot better.
Cheaper people are nicer and lots more

Random question/thought I want to throw out to me future MD colleagues....

I'm kind of a 'health nut' and I work at a health start-up (WellnessFX...I do all their blog content, check it out) and more and more it seems that the typical American recommendation for a healthy diet is wrong. I.E., fat/cholesterol isn't the culprit and doing lower carbs with higher protein and good fats can lead to a healthier life. And even if it raises total cholesterol, you'd still be healthier because it would raise the good cholesterol (HDL) and lower the bad (LDL).

My thoughts are, how much of this do you think will be reflected in our education? I know nutrition and diet is a small part of the curriculum but I know a lot of people still report that their primary doctors recommend more traditional stuff like the food pyramid, which seems more and more to be the problem/what leads people to metabolic disorders. It may not be particularly important for different specialties, but for doctors who will have patients who depend on them to give them the right recommendations to lead a healthy life, it's important.

Thoughts? Opposing views? Too serious for this thread? haha.
 
For example, I include grass-fed butter as a part of my everyday diet because the grass-fed diet makes the animal fat heavier in omega-3's than omega-6's, which is good fat for you. Good even though it is saturated fat. I feel like if I were to go in for a check-up and say 'yeah, I eat butter' the response would just be 'bad for you, stop.'

I do this. It's part of the ketogenic diet I have been doing for a while. My doctor bashed me for trying to start this, but after I had my first set of blood tests done along with severe weight loss, improvement in blood pressure and overall improved health, he just went along with it. It's hard for people to accept but fat doesn't necessarily make you fat because its been drilled into our brains for so long.

I eat high fat, no grains as well, and grass-fed butter pretty much every day (kerrygold 😍). I think more and more of the scientific community are realizing that the old mantra of fat is bad isn't necessarily true. In biochem at my undergrad we were taught a bit about fat metabolism and cholesterol, and our 80 year-old professor even explained that new research goes against the traditional thought on a lot of these topics. I'm curious to see what this is like in med school too!

I like knowing what goes into my body, or at least as much as I can control. I cook most of my meals (might even get into baking my own bread, we'll see..). I try and maintain low carb but sometimes I find myself craving them, but otherwise I'm pretty good about maintaining both a balanced diet and reasonable caloric intake. It's too bad that organic stuff is so expensive sometimes! I might look into grass-fed butter, because I looooooove butter 😍

Misinformation....Misinformation everywhere.

For example, fats and carbs aren't the enemy, and they're absolutely essential. It's just eating too many of them AND not exercising that's the problem, but everyone just ends up focusing on the first one.

How much of it will be incorporated into our education? Probably very little.

I personally am not much on health or dieting. I eat whatever, whenever, but I do incorporate random vegetables and lean meats just because they are "healthier" than other things. I don't put any serious thought into it though

I think that very few medical schools have a human nutrition course per se. I do wish that we get to learn more about it. I am a vegetarian and tend to eat fairly healthy meals but I get kind of scared when I read about how little we truly understand about obesity, gaining and lossing weigth. It seems like the old calories in vs calories out does not completely cover it...

If you have a trader joe's near you, the grass-fed butter isn't too expensive! Just ask anyone who works there to point you in the right direction because labelling can get confusing (ie organic does not equal grass-fed)

Our company works a lot with Ben Greenfield and Tim Ferriss, the author of Four-Hour Body. Tim's a big self-experimenter and basically has this section that aims to shoot down the whole 'calories in, calories out' way of thinking. I forget the exact details but by manipulating timing of intake of food around other (natural) foods that affected digestion, he was able to eat vastly different amounts of calories with the same weight change. He even measured his poop to show that he was actually digesting more or less.

I'm interested in emergency medicine but already feel like I will be unsatisfied with only working with people 'at the end of their care' and will probably do some outreach programs to educate people about nutrition, etc to balance it out (I know, thinking waaaaay too far ahead...let's get through orientation first! 😛) so it's important to me I know this stuff, but maybe it will have to be more independent?

I really enjoyed taking this class and imagine that the online version must be good too: http://ocw.jhsph.edu/index.cfm/go/viewCourse/course/HumanNutrition/coursePage/index/ you probably already know most of the material but it could be a good refresher.

Haha, I was trying to appeal to the masses....

I'm reading Les Miserables (waiting until I finish book to see the movie, no spoilers please) and it's pretty awesome. Page 220/1460, though :\....

But food is amazing. 🙁

And lol, 2016 talked about food all the time, it was like the theme of the thread. Its so amazing to see how different each class thread is in terms of posting.
