Download or read book Weighing the Options written by Committee to Develop Criteria for Evaluating the Outcomes of Approaches to Prevent and Treat Obesity and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1995-03-15 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly one out of every three adults in America is obese and tens of millions of people in the United States are dieting at any one time. This has resulted in a weight-loss industry worth billions of dollars a year and growing. What are the long-term results of weight-loss programs? How can people sort through the many programs available and select one that is right for them? Weighing the Options strives to answer these questions. Despite widespread public concern about weight, few studies have examined the long-term results of weight-loss programs. One reason that evaluating obesity management is difficult is that no other treatment depends so much on an individual's own initiative and state of mind. Now, a distinguished group of experts assembled by the Institute of Medicine addresses this compelling issue. Weighing the Options presents criteria for evaluating treatment programs for obesity and explores what these criteria mean--to health care providers, program designers, researchers, and even overweight people seeking help. In presenting its criteria the authors offer a wealth of information about weight loss: how obesity is on the rise, what types of weight-loss programs are available, how to define obesity, how well we maintain weight loss, and what approaches and practices appear to be most successful. Information about weight-loss programs--their clients, staff qualifications, services, and success rates--necessary to make wise program choices is discussed in detail. The book examines how client demographics and characteristics--including health status, knowledge of weight-loss issues, and attitude toward weight and body image--affect which programs clients choose, how successful they are likely to be with their choices, and what this means for outcome measurement. Short- and long-term safety consequences of weight loss are discussed as well as clinical assessment of individual patients. The authors document the health risks of being overweight, summarizing data indicating that even a small weight loss reduces the risk of disease and depression and increases self-esteem. At the same time, weight loss has been associated with some poor outcomes, and the book discusses the implications for program evaluation. Prevention can be even more important than treatment. In Weighing the Options, programs for population groups, efforts targeted to specific groups at high risk for obesity, and prevention of further weight gain in obese individuals get special attention. This book provides detailed guidance on how the weight-loss industry can improve its programs to help people be more successful at long-term weight loss. And it provides consumers with tips on selecting a program that will improve their chances of permanently losing excess weight.

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 The Whole Truth about Weight Loss You Wish You Knew written by Joanna M. Skye and published by Joanna M. Skye Health & Fitness Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Health and Fitness industry has lied to me for many years. It is currently worth $ 4.2 trillion. The Healthy Eating, Nutrition, and Weight Loss sector alone is worth $ 702 billion. There are many brilliant ideas to make big bucks from people who are looking for fat burn secrets or how to burn belly fat fast, and most of them are based on magical “rapid weight loss” diet plans/powders/teas/exercise plans/pills, etc. The industry is making giant money off of ordinary people who want to learn more, but there is so much information thrown at them that they just can’t distinguish legit data from the crap that was creatively made to look like evidence-based material. Are you a serial dieter who has tried literally everything that’s out there? Are you a mature woman who has been told that weight loss for women over 40 is just not happening? Are you unsuccessfully trying to lose that post-pregnancy weight? Are you feeling bitter and disappointed because you are so dedicated to your workout routines and healthy eating, learned how to count calories, but somehow you still can’t seem to get rid of those last few pounds? Or are you a little scared and reluctant to start any weight loss program because they all just seem to be so strict that they would require your undivided attention and efforts? You do not need to be always hungry and miserable to lose weight. Your life does not have to be full of restrictions and exclusions. Your family life does not have to be ruined. Social situations do not have to be unbearable. You don’t have to kiss pizza goodbye forever. You don’t have to kill yourself training. You can eat as many meals per day as you want, at whatever time you choose. You don’t have to spend hundreds of dollars on supplements. Does this sound like science-fiction? It’s not. It’s just science: no magic. Do yourself a favor - stop reading obsolete and harmful weight loss theories. Stop listening to charlatans telling you that a detox or magic pills will solve your problem. Stop getting excited about new strict “weight loss” diets, which promise you 40 lbs. less in 2 months. Learn what weight loss is really about, how it actually happens, and how you can pull this off and still live a normal life. This book WILL NOT tell you what exactly you must / must not eat. However, it WILL show you HOW to choose what you eat, what flexible dieting looks like, and how your body will respond to what’s on your plate. This book focuses on the most important things you need to know, including hormone balance. Information in this book is based on pure scientific knowledge and its sensible interpretation, and not on guesswork or some tortuous ideologies that simply feel right at the time for their authors, so they present them as scientific facts. The weight loss process is simple, logical, and easy. This is the only book on weight loss that you will ever need because nothing else actually works. Does this mean it will require no effort at all? Of course not. You have to work to get what you want. After all - “If we keep doing what we're doing, we're going to keep getting what we're getting.” [Stephen Covey] Will this turn your life upside down? No, not in a negative sense. You can lose weight while having a normal life. However, it will definitely be a life-changing experience, this I can promise.

Download or read book The Rice Diet Solution written by Kitty Gurkin Rosati and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-06-06 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can you really lose twenty pounds in a month? Will you really keep it off this time? With The Rice Diet Solution, you will! The Rice Diet Program has been helping dieters successfully lose weight since 1939. Now in book form, this world-renowned weight-loss method can help you change the way you eat forever. The Rice Diet Program in Durham, North Carolina, was one of the first medical facilities in America to use diet as the primary way to treat disease. On this high-complex-carb, low-fat, and low-sodium whole-foods diet, “Ricers” lose weight faster, more safely, and more effectively than people on any other diet. Men lose on average twenty-eight to thirty pounds and women on average nineteen to twenty pounds per month! The Rice Diet also detoxes your body, ridding it of excess water weight and toxins from processed foods and the environment. The program's results have been documented by extensive studies and confirmed by thousands of people who report amazing weight loss, as well as immediate improvement in such conditions as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Here’s how it works: The Rice Diet strictly limits salt and sodium-rich ingredients. Salt, like refined sugar, is an appetite stimulant, so when you reduce salt intake, you lose water weight and are less inclined to overeat. The Rice Diet also limits saturated fats and instead relies on carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, grains, and beans) as the main source of nutrition. The fiber cleanses your system and satisfies you so you feel full quickly. The Rice Diet makes it easy to limit calories; when you’re eating foods that truly satisfy your hunger, it’s a challenge to eat 1,500 calories per day! To make it easy to follow the program, The Rice Diet Solution includes hundreds of tasty, filling, easy-to-prepare recipes—some from the Rice House kitchen, others inspired by major chefs and adapted to Rice Diet standards.

Download or read book The Truths and Myths of Weight Loss written by Henry W. Snead and published by Author House. This book was released on 2007-06-13 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, 47% of the US adults were overweight or obese compared to 65% today. This has occurred during a time when health club memberships have risen by more than 50% with 4.8 billion dollars/year being spent on home exercise equipment and more than 33 billion dollars annually spent on weight loss products and services. Also, during this time the average fat content of meals eaten dropped from 41 to 37%. There has been a 400% increase in the use of sugar-substitutes and reduced-fat food. The purchase of reduced-caloric foods increased from 19 to 76%. Furthermore, the total amount of calories eaten by women dropped by 3% and 6% by men during 1977 to 1988. Although 2/3 of American adults are overweight/obese, only 1/3 Americans (37% men and 52% women) see themselves that way. Of those that see themselves as overweight/obese fewer than 2/3 are trying to lose weight. Although 58% of American adults would like to lose weight, only 36% are following a particular diet plan and 26% exercise three times per week. The Surgeon General states that obesity rates second only to cigarette smoking as a preventable cause of disease and death in the U.S., with health care costs 117 billion dollars a year. So what has caused this complacency? Frustrated by the current inadequacies of weight loss programs, 50,000 people a year turn to surgery in the U.S. Many more are caught up in the media generated hype of fad diets, exercise equipment, and pills. Even the medical community of experts have resolved that one can only hope for a 10% reduction of weight through diet and exercise, and that one is most likely to maintain that for less than 2 years. The reason for this frustration is the myths that have intentionally and unintentionally developed around misinterpreted and exaggerated results from scientific studies, many of which do not pertain to weight loss in overweight/obese individuals. The ambiguity that has resulted from this has propagated the current obesity epidemic. It is the purpose of this book to present the truth supported by sound scientific evidence to expose the myths that have become so perverse not only in the general public, but also, the field of medicine. These false beliefs are presented in the form of a diary that was acquired following the death of an obese patient after gastric bypass. The diary entries personalize these beliefs into everyday experiences and are followed by a discussion in simple language of current scientific evidence that breaks down these falsehoods. This book strips away many of the myths that surround the weight loss process so as to allow the reader to see clearly how to pursue and maintain healthy weight loss.
