Nutrition And Weight Management Essentials

Nutrition & Weight Management Essentials

According to research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a medical student can get as little as 2 hours of education in nutrition during their studies. Admittedly, the average education hours are higher, at around 20 hours, but the consensus is that there is a “severe deficiency of nutrition education at all levels of medical training.”

Research shows fewer than one in a thousand health professionals have received specialist training in the field of obesity and weight management at all. When considering these two statistics, in the context of our current public health challenges, the emerging picture is not pretty. The foundational links between nutrition and weight management needs to be understood by the medical profession if we want to reverse the current worrying trends of overweight and obesity.
