Download or read book Weight Management written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.

Download or read book Emerging Technologies for Nutrition Research written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-09-03 with total page 729 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest of a series of publications based on workshops sponsored by the Committee on Military Nutrition Research, this book's focus on emerging technologies for nutrition research arose from a concern among scientists at the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine that traditional nutrition research, using standard techniques, centered more on complex issues of the maintenance or enhancement of performance, and might not be sufficiently substantive either to measure changes in performance or to predict the effects on performance of stresses soldiers commonly experience in operational environments. The committee's task was to identify and evaluate new technologies to determine whether they could help resolve important issues in military nutrition research. The book contains the committee's summary and recommendations as well as individually authored chapters based on presentations at a 1995 workshop. Other chapters cover techniques of body composition assessment, tracer techniques for the study of metabolism, ambulatory techniques for the determination of energy expenditure, molecular and cellular approaches to nutrition, the assessment of immune function, and functional and behavioral measures of nutritional status.

Download or read book Measuring Health From The Inside written by Carolyn Hodges Chaffee and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-10-05 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Carolyn and Annika bring decades of expertise in the care of patients with Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, and the many related atypical and subsyndromal variants. Their clinical wisdom, understanding of the experience of sufferers and those who love them, and understanding of these illnesses and the recovery process infuse these pages." -Diane Mickley, MD, Director, Wilkins Center for Eating Disorders The ever changing field of eating disorder treatment needs innovative new techniques and approaches. As the number of people with these challenging disorders increases at an alarming rate, treatment has not kept pace. The death rate for Anorexia Nervosa in the U.S. is twelve times higher than all other leading causes of death combined for the 15-to-24 age group. Measuring Health from the Inside is a major step forward in treating patients with eating disorders. This important book explains how two simple measurement techniques-Metabolic Testing and Body Composition Analysis-can help patients make rapid progress in understanding their condition and tracking their progress toward recovery. Thousands of patients have been successfully diagnosed and treated by this technology at Carolyn's clinic and Annika's private practice. In Measuring Health from the Inside, they explain how the information from the tests can be used to help treat patients not only for their underlying eating disorder but also for the malnutrition that almost always accompanies-and worsens-the condition. Based on their extensive experience, they offer practical guidance for therapists, patients, and loved ones on the often overlooked importance of nutrition in treating eating disorders.
Download or read book The Fitness Blueprint written by Samuel Dicken and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 540 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the world of fitness still caught up in anecdotes and unfounded claims? Evidence-based approaches to losing fat or building muscle (body composition) are all but non-existent. Despite much research into diet and exercise, the fitness world is still largely guided by subjective opinion. Much of what is claimed is not based on research. Such claims and recommendations rarely consider individual preferences or lifestyles. Research reveals many insights. Metabolisms are not slow or fast. No diet is superior for weight loss when you consume the same amount of energy. Superfoods do not exist. Sugar is not inherently 'bad'. No food in itself causes weight gain or prevents weight loss. Detox diets don't work. You don't have to lift 'heavy' weights to build muscle. You don't need to exercise to lose weight. Fasted exercise does not result in greater fat loss. Most supplements have no evidence that they actually have any benefit. This book provides an evidence-based approach to fitness, covering how to diet and exercise to meet your fat loss or muscle gain goals in a manner that suits your needs and lifestyle. Contents: 1. Introduction 2. Should I alter my body composition? The exam analogy 3. Evidence-based practice 4. Research is research, right? 5. Body composition and health 6. The fuel for life 7. The hierarchy of nutrition 8. Diets 9. Advanced nutrition: protein intake for specific goals 10. Nutrient Timing 11. Manipulating the timing of energy intake: fasting 12. Food choice and dietary patterns for health 13. Alcohol 14. Non-sugar sweeteners and artificial sweeteners 15. Organic food 16. Evidence-based training for optimising body composition 17. Mechanisms of muscle growth 18. Principles of training 19. Training for muscle growth 20. Training splits 21. Exercise selection: variation 22. Timing: the time of the rest, the time of the rep and the time of the session 23. Advanced training techniques 24. Aerobic exercise 25. Supplements 26. Conclusion Sam Dicken is currently a Clinical Scientist at Guy's and St Thomas NHS Foundation Trust on the NHS Scientist Training Programme, specialising in vascular science. Sam has a degree from Cambridge University in Natural Sciences with a focus on physiology, development and neuroscience. He is studying for a Master's in Clinical Science at Newcastle University, and will begin a Medical Research Council Funded Master's in Research and PhD in experimental and personalised medicine at UCL in September 2020, with a focus on cardiovascular disease. He has experience of working in the sports nutrition industry, a wealth of clinical experience during his time in hospital, and a passion for sports and exercise, representing Cambridge University at varsity rugby and as a keen weightlifter with a focus on strength and body composition. Sam has a career focus on how diet, exercise and lifestyle influence metabolism, body composition and development of cardiovascular disease. He has fostered an interest in the continuum between health and disease, and how the very factors that may lead to disease and mortality are the same factors that allow individuals to become elite athletes or live long and healthy lives. This book combines his passion for physical training and exercise with his career skills, research interests and the evidence-based approach of his clinical training. This book will dispel common fitness myths and set the truth straight about how to eat and train to build muscle and lose fat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weight Loss Tailored for Women Dr. Karatoprak's Weight Loss & Longevity Breakthrough! The Revolutionary Personalized Body-Profile Type Approach Designed For Women Of All Ages For Women Who Want to Lose From 5 to over 100 Lbs. Doctor Developed * Doctor Tested * Doctor Recommended By Ohan Karatoprak, MD Dr. Karatoprak determined that "For proper medically correct weight loss, people need to know their Body-Profile Type and the behavioral aspects of their lifestyle in order to tailor a personalized weight loss program (diet and exercise) for effective weight loss. These factors include: * Body Fat Type * Metabolic Type * Behavioral Type; Under-Exercise or Over-Exerciser; Under-Eater or Over-Eater With this information your Body-Profile Type is determined, which is used to establish a personalized nutrition and exercise program. Other factors such as supplements and in certain cases, medication are also determined using this approach. The How-To is contained in this book. Today we understand that the treatment of obesity (excess body fat) has to be a tailored one for each individual. Since each individual's body composition, metabolism, hormonal balance, exercise capacity, and caloric intake is different. "Not everyone is obese or overweight the same way, and not everyone is obese or overweight for the same reason". This phrase explains why all "one-size-fits-all" low calorie diets and weight loss programs fail. They are "hit-and-miss" weight loss traps, and the majority of them promise quick weight loss results for most of the obese people who are looking for a quick fix. The end result of these weight loss books and diet programs is more obesity and frustration. Sounds familiar? More than 25 years of Dr. Karatoprak's hands on experience in weight loss and research has brought this book to you. As you go through his Body-Profile Type Approach in this book, and watch the free instructional videos, you will learn the essence of obesity and being overweight, and the proper treatment. You will see how important it is not to be on a low calorie diet, which can slow down your metabolism. You will understand how important it is to follow a diet and exercise program which is tailored for you, which will correct your hormonal imbalance, increase your metabolism, and improve your body composition for health and longevity. You will also discover how this book is important for your weight maintenance, to prevent weight gain.
