Book excerpt: "This resource is an exciting new book that features a balanced perspective about one of the most talked abouttopics of this time...it would be a great resource for those who are interested in joining the fight to eradicate obesity and obesity-related consequences."--Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior "Lauren and Eric Rossen offer a well articulated account of the growing obesity epidemic in todayís society in an engaging, easily understood, and witty manner. This comprehensive volume should serve as an essential resource for researchers, clinicians, students, and the general public interested in the fundamental understanding, assessment, treatment, and prevention of obesity." Jason P. A. Gallant, Ph.D. Chief Psychologist Boys Town Central Florida Behavioral Health Clinic Although research on obesity has accelerated over the past decade, the proportion of Americans considered obese has not declined. In order to address this critical public health challenge, obesity research has recently shifted from focusing purely on individual causes to viewing individuals within their "obesogenic" or living environments. Encompassing both schools of thought, Obesity 101 is the first volume to offer a broad and balanced perspective on the complex factors that influence obesity. The text combines current research from multiple perspectives to provide an introductory-level, reader-friendly overview of the history, causes, prevalence, consequences, treatments, and future trends in the prevention of obesity. It integrates research from a vast range of disciplines in the biological and social sciences, as well as education and economics. The text explores the gamut of current treatments for obesity, in addition to prevention programs in schools, the workplace, the community, and the arena of public policy, and offers an assessment of their efficacy. Since obesity is a burgeoning problem in the developing world, as well as having already reached epidemic proportions in many developed nations, the book also discusses international trends. Key Features: Brings together the most current obesity research from a variety of disciplines Provides a balanced review of one of today's most controversial health issues Discusses the various medical, psychological, social, educational, and occupational consequences of obesity for children and adults Reviews the effectiveness of prevention and treatment programs, as well as interventions Accessible, conversational writing style designed for use by undergraduate and graduate students, in addition to professionals across many disciplines

Download or read book Removing Obesity 101 written by Tim LeClair and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-05-20 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was created to help those I love deal with weight concerns and healthy eating. Also to help others confront the cause rather than the problem of weight gain. While struggling with obesity myself, I tried to fix the cause to the problem. Every direction resulted in fixing the problem and not the cause (which created a smaller but still fat person). Deep research revealed that the Food, Health and Medical industries combined are a trillion dollar a year business. These protect their greed for profits with any means, to include manipulating truths, fabrications and outright lies. Every few months a new term, product or concept pops up pushing hope to those without hope; these followers eventually fail and return into the bucket of hopelessness. For every study saying something is healthy, another will say it is unhealthy. Both sides dare claim to be scientific. The primary audience of this material is people that are obese and looking to remove 30 to 100 pounds of excess weight. At the age of 50, I was obese and indulged in many bad habits that were slowly stealing years of health and happiness from my future. It became time to feel better and lose the weight. Losing weight has been an interesting and challenging journey that has improved my health and understanding of obesity. With many friends and family suffering with obesity, I wanted to make my research and strategies useful to others. In order to make something able to share, I had to lose weight without really feeling hungry, ever committing to a workout plan, and eating foods I like. I must feel good most if not all the time. The program must be sustainable for life. Some key points are as follows: Weight loss and gain are non-linear causing seemingly unpredictable weight alterations. Weight gain creates a new larger person that does not reduce in size or capacity just by using stored energy. Weight loss cannot by directly controlled but weight gain can. Bad habits can be stopped if decomposed to find their weaknesses. A successful person has the ability to create a social network to help accomplish their agenda. Sugar is the cause of most obesity blamed health issues and a primary factor in metabolic syndrome. Oxygen, sleep and water are extremely important to good health and weight control. The primary reason for obesity is over eating a balance of the macro-nutrients. Some activity is extremely important to most of the bodily systems and weight control. No person can exactly predict what their weight loss will be, but can measure their weight gain. If a person controls weight gain in a healthy manner, they will lose weight while remaining healthier. The approach is that slow and steady wins the race. Achieving small measurable goals creates a faith that is reliable and maintainable. One hundred methods are included to help create a program that is adaptable to a person's metabolism, values, and lifestyle. The most important part of losing weight successfully is gaining respect for self through building a faith and love for self. It is important to understand that an honest love for self will care for self. This book is dedicated to the people I love and some people that I have lost. In the writing of the content of this book, I became aware of how important this material was to improving the quantity and quality of life. Maybe at first it was focused on an outward appearance but as it matured, it flourished into health and happiness. There is no magic cure in this program but a means to find the cure which is you. This material is not written or designed to impress people in the fields of science, health or medicine. The only purpose is to help the person remove the term obese from their definition in a healthy manner by giving them an understanding of what challenges them and the tools to accomplish beating these challenges.

Download or read book Removing Obesity 101 written by Tim LeClair and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of the pyramid is in that each layer below supports the layer above and the base supports all the layers above. When the base fails (lifestyle), the whole system fails, if a layer fails, the layers above that layer also fail. One can have some success with losing weight without following this 213-Diet pyramid scheme but failure will likely ensue. I have witnessed multiple people that have not lost weight performing extreme exercise programs. The only program to lose weight successfully is to follow the pyramid, starting at the bottom with your lifestyle changes moving to the top, then worry about exercise. This way the exercise has a solid base to support it in being useful towards creating fitness. The Layers of the Pyramid: 1 - The Lifestyle: Lifestyle is the way a person lives and their daily transactions. A person''s lifestyle is the primary factor in weight control and health. Every effort to lose weight must be adopted into a person''s lifestyle. 2 - The Habits of Weight-gain and Unhealthiness: Habits are the largest part of a person''s life that create weight gain and hinder weight loss. 3 - Toxins, and Altered or Created Substances: Toxins, substances, and altered organic foods are the primary cause of over indulgence and an ineffective metabolism. This is the secret to weight loss. There is big industry in people eating more and making them engulf food uncontrollably. 4 - Sugars and Starches: Processed sugars and starches are the primary cause of obesity. 5 - Portion Control: Portion control refers to the ability to restrict the quantity consumed of food deemed valuable as fuel or building blocks, not referring to actual quality. It must be clearly stated that consuming less of certain particular items will result in less desire to consume excess food. 6 - Stress and Mental Health: Controlling stress and having a clear mind to focus on weight control is critical to reaching and maintaining your goals. 7 - Protein Control: Protein is the magic to weight control. It is needed to build a person big, either more muscular and or more fat, and it is needed to rebuild back to small. 8 - Physical Activities: Physical activity is referred to as the normal activity of the human body to stimulate the organs to maintain their functions in a healthy manner. 9 - Sleep: The human body has been proven to require sleep. The amount of sleep on most reputable studies indicates this amount to be at least 7 hours. Achieving 8 hours of sleep is the optimal amount of sleep. 10 - Water: Water is important for cell existence, metabolic reactions, transport of nutrients, body temperature regulation, and the elimination of waste and toxins. Water is extremely important to health and a good metabolism required for quality weight loss. Losing water is not weight loss! 11 - Oxygen: Oxygen makes up about 65% of the human body mass; it is followed by carbon at 18% and hydrogen at 12%. Most of this oxygen is in the form of water. Oxygen intake from breathing is extremely important to the metabolism, organ function, and using (burning) fuel within the body. 12 - Vitamins and Minerals: Vitamins are a group of organic substances that are essential, in small quantities, for the normal functioning of metabolism in the body. Minerals are the essential minerals required for proper metabolism and the functions of the body. 13 - Exercise: Exercise is physical activity that is planned, structured, and repetitive for the purpose of losing weight and or gaining muscle. One must have a means to improve their process and one must have means to monitor their efforts. These means must not be burdensome. It will be asked to remember the 213-Diet pyramid and when sitting around bored to evaluate ways and methods to improve each layer. This book list 100 methods to losing weight.

Download or read book Obesity and Diabetes written by Anthony H. Barnett and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-04-08 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obesity has become the most common chronic disease of the present day, with significant increases in prevalence in populations across the world and all age groups. This has resulted in a dramatic increase in obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular complications, making it an important public health issue. Type 2 diabetes associated with obesity or 'diabesity' is today the most common form of type 2 diabetes. It is also associated with a number of other cardiovascular risk factors, which constitute the metabolic syndrome. Effective management of 'diabesity' is crucial to the reduction of morbidity and premature mortality due to cardiovascular disease. This book comprises chapters written by leading international experts on various aspects of obesity-related diabetes. As a practical reference guide, it is suitable for all professionals with an interest in this field. Emerging problems such as childhood 'diabesity' and the impact of obesity on polycystic ovary syndrome will be of interest not only to paediatricians and endocrinologists, but also to general practitioners and other healthcare professionals. The contemporary approach to the clinical assessment of obesity and its management in both primary and secondary care settings is also described.

Download or read book The Treatment of Obesity written by J.F. Munro and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last few years, there has been growing medical interest in the problem of obesity. Although this may not have resulted in a dramatic breakthrough in our understanding of the condition, at least we are now more aware of our ignorance. Possibly this partly explains the increasing medical concern for, and sympathy in, the management of the obese. In the introductory chapter, John Garrow says that he believes it would be better to treat a few people well than many subjects unsuccessfully. This theme is developed in those chapters which deal with specific forms of therapy including exercise, protein-sparing fasting and bypass surgery, while the chapters on pharmacological agents review our knowledge, and our ignorance, of the mode of action and efficacy of the currently available drugs. Almost in contrast, the chapter on behavioural therapy and group therapy suggests that obesity is a problem which could best be tackled on a community basis. Clearly such an approach is very attractive, and the combination of behavioural therapy and slimming organizations would appear to offer the best prospects of controlling most subjects' weight problems. There will always remain, however, the individual patient in whom there will be a place for the various special techniques now available. It is hoped that this book will contribute to a greater understanding of the various problems faced by the obese, and the regimes that can be offered. J. F. MUNRO xi 1 How to treat and when to treat J. S.

Download or read book Obesity written by Shamim I. Ahmad and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-10-19 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings a comprehensive treatise about obesity, examining the measures that can be taken to stop and even reduce obesity if these right measures are taken in time. Recent studies show that obesity is on the increase at an alarming rate, especially in the industrialized and affluent countries. A number of reasons have been put forward for this increase, including life style choices, over-eating, over-use of commercially processed food, addiction for fast food, high caloric diet specially containing high levels of sugar and fat, lack of exercise and sedentary life style. Also genetic make up has been associated with obesity. Obesity can lead to a variety of lethal diseases, notably coronary heart disease, cancer and diabetes. These diseases account for the highest number of human death amongst all other causes. There are also a number of other side effects associated with obesity including increased stress, loss of intelligentsia, pancreatitis, premature birth and osteoarthritis. In recent years media have been playing important roles in highlighting the lethality and damage caused by obesity, nevertheless no significant effects can be seen in the population and obesity remains on the increase, especially amongst children. The editors believe that it is important that more education, campaign and research are used to stop this increasing disease.
