Book excerpt: Background: Many individuals do not achieve clinically significant weight loss following traditional lifestyle modification interventions, potentially because weight loss is dependent upon calorie tracking compliance (to achieve calorie prescriptions), which decreases over time for most. By contrast, non-energy restricted plant-based diets have been demonstrated to promote clinically significant weight loss even without calorie prescriptions. Methods: This pilot trial is the first to empirically test a remotely delivered whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD) lifestyle modification intervention for adults with overweight or obesity. Over 12-weeks, participants (N = 22) followed a non-energy restricted WFPBD and received nutritional counseling and behavioral weight loss intervention. Participants were recruited in two phases. After Phase 1 (n = 7) participant feedback was gathered, and relevant changes were made. The revised intervention was delivered in Phase 2 (n = 15). Assessments occurred at baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment. Data were analyzed using an intent-to-treat approach. Results: Feasibility and acceptability of the newly developed intervention was achieved: attrition was low (9.1%) and acceptability was high (mean acceptability: 4.43 out of 5). In Phase 1, a small proportion (22.9%) of participants achieved 5% weight loss, whereas in Phase 2, the majority of participants (69.3%) met this benchmark. Mean weight loss was clinically meaningful for Phase 2 participants (5.89 ℗ł .68 kg). Preliminary effectiveness of the intervention on waist circumference, dietary adherence, and quality of life was also achieved. Preliminary support for family support, family sabotage, friend sabotage and self-compassion (but not internal disinhibition or plant-based diet familiarity) as moderators of intervention effects was found. Conclusion: A 12-week remotely delivered intervention prescribing a non-energy restricted WFPBD was found to be feasible and acceptable and led to clinically relevant changes in weight, waist circumference, dietary adherence, and quality of life.

Book excerpt: Background: Most traditional behavioral weight loss (BT) programs rely on calorie prescriptions and meticulous calorie tracking. By contrast, plant-based diets have demonstrated clinically significant weight loss with ad libitum prescriptions and without calorie tracking. Objective: This pilot randomized controlled trial was the first to compare a remotely delivered BT with a balanced calorie deficit diet (BCDD-BT, the current gold-standard) to BT with an ad libitum whole food plant-based diet (WFPBD-BT) in which participants were instructed to eat until satiation and not track dietary intake. Methods: Adults (N = 55, BMI 27-50 kg/m2) participated in a remotely delivered intervention consisting of 12 weeks of moderate-intensity intervention (web-modules, regular brief coaching calls), followed by low-intensity intervention (monthly calls). Assessments occurred at 6-weeks, 12-weeks (following the moderate-intensity phase), and post-treatment (24-weeks). Results: Weight loss was significant in both conditions (6.0%, SE = .59). Results from multilevel models indicated that WFPBD-BT produced overall greater weight loss than BCDD-BT. Differences were most pronounced when intervention intensity was higher (6-week 5% weight loss attainment: OR = 5.7, p = .02) and attenuated over time (12-week OR = 2.5, p = .14; post-treatment OR = 1.6, p = .44). WFPBD-BT also reduced appetite levels and improved dietary patterns compared to BCDD-BT. Inconsistent with hypotheses, no differences in quality of life or future dietary adherence intentions were observed. Moderation analyses revealed that greater social support facilitated greater weight loss within WFPBD-BT but not BCDD-BT. Mediation analyses indicated that the effects of WFPBD-BT on weight outcomes were partially explained by reduced levels of appetite. Across conditions, coach experience was associated with attrition and weight outcomes. Conclusions: Results suggest that both remotely delivered BCDD-BT and WFPBD-BT are effective, and that WFPBD has potential advantages for weight outcomes, appetite, and healthful patterns of dietary change during more intensive intervention periods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW UPDATED EDITION! Renowned for their amazing athleticism and unparalleled work ethic, and famed for their “great heart” and willingness to go the extra mile, off-track Thoroughbreds (OTTBs) have proven to be the ultimate equine partners in a host of disciplines: dressage, eventing, show jumping, trail riding, and even barrel racing and ranch work. In this revised edition of the book that Thoroughbred and horse training experts have called “breakthrough racehorse literature,” “superior,” “a winner,” and “the ultimate in training manuals,” readers learn everything they need to transition an OTTB from life at the track to life out back. Author Anna Ford, Thoroughbred Program Director at New Vocations Racehorse Adoption, begins by discussing the typical Thoroughbred's early years, then explains reasons for retirement, common injuries and health issues, basic feeding and nutrition, and safe handling. Ford goes on to provide step-by-step instructions for building the solid educational foundation the OTTB needs to excel in a new career, whether as a highly trained competitor or a pleasure mount. With hundreds of quality, full-color photographs to illustrate conscientious and professionally tested training methods, case studies that share how other individuals have successfully retrained ex-racehorses, and the recommendations of top equestrians–including event riders, jockeys, horse trainers, and leading industry magazines–this book is the go-to reference for anyone interested in pursuing a partnership with a Thoroughbred athlete.

Download or read book Appified written by Jeremy Wade Morris and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Snapchat. WhatsApp. Ashley Madison. Fitbit. Tinder. Periscope. How do we make sense of how apps like these-and thousands of others-have embedded themselves into our daily routines, permeating the background of ordinary life and standing at-the-ready to be used on our smartphones and tablets? When we look at any single app, it's hard to imagine how such a small piece of software could be particularly notable. But if we look at a collection of them, we see a bigger picture that reveals how the quotidian activities apps encompass are far from banal: connecting with friends (and strangers and enemies), sharing memories (and personally identifying information), making art (and trash), navigating spaces (and reshaping places in the process). While the sheer number of apps is overwhelming, as are the range of activities they address, each one offers an opportunity for us to seek out meaning in the mundane. Appified is the first scholarly volume to examine individual apps within the wider historical and cultural context of media and cultural studies scholarship, attuned to issues of politics and power, identity and the everyday.

Download or read book The Calorie Myth written by Jonathan Bailor and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2015-01-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to what most diets would have you believe, the human body does not recognize all calories as equal. Some foods are used to boost brain power, fuel metabolism, and heal the body—while others are simply stored as fat. In The Calorie Myth, Bailor shows us how eating more of the right kinds of foods and exercising less, but at a higher intensity, is the true formula for burning fat. Why? Because eating high-quality foods balances the hormones that regulate our metabolism. When we eat these foods, our bodies naturally maintain a healthy weight. But when we eat sugar, starches, processed fats, and other poor-quality foods, the body's regulatory system becomes "clogged" and prevents us from burning extra calories. Translation: Those extra 10 pounds aren't the result of eating too much . . . they're the result of eating the wrong foods! Bailor offers clear, comprehensive guidance on what to eat and why, providing an eating plan, recipes, and a simple yet effective exercise regimen. Losing weight doesn't have to mean going hungry or spending hours at the gym. The Calorie Myth offers a radical and effective new model for weight loss and long-term health.
Download or read book Self Tracking written by Gina Neff and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2016-06-24 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens when people turn their everyday experience into data: an introduction to the essential ideas and key challenges of self-tracking. People keep track. In the eighteenth century, Benjamin Franklin kept charts of time spent and virtues lived up to. Today, people use technology to self-track: hours slept, steps taken, calories consumed, medications administered. Ninety million wearable sensors were shipped in 2014 to help us gather data about our lives. This book examines how people record, analyze, and reflect on this data, looking at the tools they use and the communities they become part of. Gina Neff and Dawn Nafus describe what happens when people turn their everyday experience—in particular, health and wellness-related experience—into data, and offer an introduction to the essential ideas and key challenges of using these technologies. They consider self-tracking as a social and cultural phenomenon, describing not only the use of data as a kind of mirror of the self but also how this enables people to connect to, and learn from, others. Neff and Nafus consider what's at stake: who wants our data and why; the practices of serious self-tracking enthusiasts; the design of commercial self-tracking technology; and how self-tracking can fill gaps in the healthcare system. Today, no one can lead an entirely untracked life. Neff and Nafus show us how to use data in a way that empowers and educates.
