The cool thing about being bilingual is now I can talk about how much I want to die in TWO languages

Knowing another language is like being part of an inside joke.

Hi Everyone! 

Update: I am now officially done with my second year! I know i’ve been MIA on here for a while now - but that’s only because I was drowning in textbooks and assignments! I will be writing a whole other post on what my second year in medical school was like - so watch out for that :)

I, for one, can not just rely on one method of learning. Meaning, I’ll jump from videos, to textbooks, to flashcards. In this post I’m going to list some of my holy grail youtube channels that have helped saved me. 

1) Handwritten Tutorials

https://www.youtube.com/user/harpinmartin

Every video in this channel is short, but not so much that you feel like you’re missing out on information. Definitely one to save as a favourite!

2) Armando Hasudungan

https://www.youtube.com/user/armandohasudungan

The best thing about this channel is the fact that there are over 300 videos, covering a wide range of core topics in endocrinology, neurology, physiology and pharmacology. Another pro is the presentation of topics (otherwise considered snooze-worthy) in an artistic manner!

3) Speed Pharmacology

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-i2EBYXH6-GAglvuDIaufQ

Raise your hand if you’ve ever fallen asleep trying to read about the mechanism of action of opioids, their side effects and contraindications. I know I have. Fret not, for this youtube channel will introduce you to a world where pharmacology is actually interesting.

4) Wendy Riggs 

https://www.youtube.com/user/wendogg1

Wendy Riggs is a very down-to-earth professor in Northern California, and she covers a wide range of  topics in Anatomy, Physiology and General Biology. 

5) Anatomy Zone

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAnatomyZone

A better way to learn anatomy is to supplement your textbook information with videos from this channel. The explanations and visuals provided are absolute gold.

I hope you all find these channels as helpful as I did!

So I talked to a friend of mine who lost like over 20+ pounds within 6 months and then has been building muscles for the past two years on how he did it.
You can already tell I guess how I asked him.. “HOW THE HELL WHAT HOW WHEN BUT HOWWW? ” …ahem.

Anyway he told me that he:
•ate A LOT on breakfast (as long as it’s just one plate)
•ate salad with grilled chicken or meat or fish on lunch.
•snacks such as yogurt, fruits, etc.
•NO DINNER.
•4-5 liters of water a day
•exercised a lot.
•5 cups of green tea a day
• and didn’t eat or drink ANYTHING but water after 5pm

I thought it was a bit extreme and he would be starving and how could he even do it, but then I was soo soo not happy with my body so I decided to try it.

Let me tell you that I know a lot of people might think this is WAY too extreme but I ate ALOT on breakfast and I ate a piece of fruit as snacks in school( and I don’t even like to eat in school). My water bottle was always in my hand cause I always drank water and exercised to Blogilates beginner 2.0 calendar for 2016 with walking/jogging everyday. And had a cheat day on Saturdays because I love those late night snacks.

Anyways I did that for a week and now I lost 4.5 pounds !!

I was 192 and now I’m 188 and I don’t, nor have I felt weak or tired throughout the week because I ate breakfast at 7. Snack at 12, with water in between the two meals. Lunch at 3 and then exercised for an hour everyday (20 minutes Blogilates and the rest is walking/jogging/dancing).and I sleep usually at 8/9pm

So I just wanted to share this with you guys because it really did help me a lot. And I’m not a trainer nor do I know anything about health yet. I’m just a girl who is fighting the demon inside of her and wants to lose weight and feel good. But what I did didn’t make me feel worst and actually made me feel better about myself.

Love ya. Xx
