Melanie has been here almost a year now and has been one of our most committed members from day one. In fact she is the longest standing female at OCC. Mel trains 4-5x week when shes not traveling for business. Her results with our program are not unique but her consistency is.
An excerpt from Dr. Michael Eades blog (author of Protein Power)
…doctors get very, very little nutritional training in medical school and even less in their post-graduate training. In my own case, I got exactly one lecture on nutrition in medical school, and that was from a registered dietitian, which should tell you all you need to know. And it wasn’t even a lecture on nutrition; it was a lecture on how to write orders for various diets for hospitalized patients.
Virtually all of my nutritional knowledge was self taught. And most doctors don’t bother – I didn’t bother for the first five years of my practice. I said all the same ignorant things and gave the same terrible advice that most doctors still give today. Read the rest here.
