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 Why Diets Make Us Fat written by Sandra Aamodt and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If diets worked, we'd all be thin by now. Instead, we have enlisted hundreds of millions of people into a war we can't win." What’s the secret to losing weight? If you’re like most of us, you’ve tried cutting calories, sipping weird smoothies, avoiding fats, and swapping out sugar for Splenda. The real secret is that all of those things are likely to make you weigh more in a few years, not less. In fact, a good predictor of who will gain weight is who says they plan to lose some. Last year, 108 million Americans went on diets, to the applause of doctors, family, and friends. But long-term studies of dieters consistently find that they’re more likely to end up gaining weight in the next two to fifteen years than people who don’t diet. Neuroscientist Sandra Aamodt spent three decades in her own punishing cycle of starving and regaining before turning her scientific eye to the research on weight and health. What she found defies the conventional wisdom about dieting: ·Telling children that they’re overweight makes them more likely to gain weight over the next few years. Weight shaming has the same effect on adults. ·The calories you absorb from a slice of pizza depend on your genes and on your gut bacteria. So does the number of calories you’re burning right now. ·Most people who lose a lot of weight suffer from obsessive thoughts, binge eating, depression, and anxiety. They also burn less energy and find eating much more rewarding than it was before they lost weight. ·Fighting against your body’s set point—a central tenet of most diet plans—is exhausting, psychologically damaging, and ultimately counterproductive. If dieting makes us fat, what should we do instead to stay healthy and reduce the risks of diabetes, heart disease, and other obesity-related conditions? With clarity and candor, Aamodt makes a spirited case for abandoning diets in favor of behaviors that will truly improve and extend our lives.

Join the thousands of other readers who benefitted from this book and get started today! Author InterviewSo, are you living the thin life? Yes! In 1999, I decided enough was enough. Time to lose the baby weight. I was sick of trying diet after diet and failing. I needed strategies that would work for me and a weight maintenance plan that would help me keep the pounds off. I buckled down, started a weight loss journal, and achieved my ideal weight within a year. The best part? I've maintained that weight ever since. Congrats on finding a plan that worked for you! What motivated you to write this book? I've seen friends, family, and coworkers struggle with weight loss. They've tried low-fat and low-carb diets, they've tried every healthy dieting technique under the sun (and some unhealthy ones too). Some lose weight, some don't. Some keep it off, some don't. I realized that weight loss strategies are different for everyone. So I collected all my ideas-and those from friends and family-into this book so you can find what works for you. I'm not a doctor but I am living the thin life. You can too! Everyone is different. How do you know what will work for me? I created a diet personality quiz where you can find out which "animal" you are and get tips for your type. For example, I'm a deer. I like to eat many small meals throughout the day, so if I don't watch calories it can quickly add up. My guidelines are to eat low-calorie foods and to exercise throughout the day to increase my metabolism and balance it out. Other personalities might need to watch portion size or stick to a low-fat regime. Is this book just for women? This book is for everyone. Almost all of us have a few pounds to lose, and if not, we might be looking for a weight maintenance program. You need to find the right strategies for you, not the latest fad diet or bogus fitness advice. Been there, wasted tons of time on that. You'll get only the best tips in this book!
