Download or read book Turn Off the Fat Genes written by Neal Barnard, MD and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2010-04-28 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breakthrough genetic research indicates that genes are not just onoff switches for characteristics we can't control (like gender or eye color). Some genes, including those that shape our bodies, actually adapt to outside influences. In Turn Off the Fat Genes, Dr. Neal Barnard draws on this cutting-edge research to create a revolutionary new program for activating thin genes and suppressing fat genes, a dramatic tool for sculpting away excess pounds to reveal the healthy, vital body that nature intended. In Turn Off the Fat Genes, Dr. Barnard begins by explaining the dynamics of nutrition and its impact on genetics. Once you understand how the genes that control your shape can be influenced, the next step is positive intervention. The heart of Dr. Barnard's book is a three-week gene-control program (complete with menus and recipes) specifically designed to influence the five key genes that determine: (1) which foods you prefer, (2) the strength of your appetite, (3) whether your calories are burned or stored as fat, (4) how fast you burn calories, and (5) your muscular type and ability to exercise. Dr. Barnard's program enables all of us to enjoy the same virtually effortless weight control as the naturally thin people we have always admired.

Download or read book The Weight Issue written by A. E. Oates and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review: "a great book if you are sceptical about weight loss diets, confused by the competing claims of different approaches, and not sure of the way forward. It's a positive and supportive read that puts weight loss in perspective..."C Michael, journalist Product Description: If you want to know the medical evidence for the cause of weight problems, and which will be the most successful diet or exercise regime for you personally, then this book holds the answers. If you are overweight, it is not your fault but is due to your inherited genes combined with other factors. The tendency to eat automatically, "comfort" eating and the changes in modern food availability, can all contribute to a weight problem. Most people are unaware that weight is inherited to the same extent that height is inherited. People who lose weight, and successfully keep the weight off for a period of years, do so by following an individual plan. If having extra weight is not your fault, then why worry about it? Unless you are particularly vain, you will want to know whether there is likely to be an effect on your health. Being overweight or mildly obese is not likely to increase the chance of early death, and the association of weight with illness is put into perspective in Chapter 2. It has been found that larger people are often treated disrespectfully by the medical profession (they are the most common targets for derogatory humour from doctors) and you will also find strategies for dealing with this sort of discrimination in this book. You will want to know whether diets "work" and the medical evidence for their effectiveness. Chapter 3 looks at various diets, including the popular "intermittent fasting" diet, diets which vary proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrates, glycemic index diet, very low calorie diets (such as followed by Oprah years ago), commercial diets, meal replacements (such as Slim Fast), pre-packaged meals (such as Jenny Craig) and diet websites. Most diets cause weight loss in the first six months and this is often followed by partial or total regain. Long term success hinges on finding something that works for the individual, and this book aims to help the reader to find a regime that will work for them personally. It is a myth that exercise always helps with weight loss. In fact, some of us will lose weight with exercise, but others compensate by eating more. Chapter 4 will help you to decide which category you fall into. Men tend to lose weight with exercise and women get less relative benefit. Preventing weight regain is more difficult than losing it in the first place. Chapter 5 discusses the evidence that some strategies to avoid weight regain are much more successful than others. The sort of eating regime you have, the frequency of weight monitoring, and even the way in which you think about food, can all influence the likelihood of regaining weight. If you have a significant weight problem (and particularly if you are female) it is likely that you have come across prejudice associated with your size. There is discrimination in many areas - including employment, the media and transport. Studies show that those most likely to be prejudiced are conservative, racist men who are in favour of capital punishment and afraid of gaining weight themselves. Chapter 6 gives practical advice about how to cope with the stigma that can go with being overweight, and presents the evidence that the prejudice is unfounded. The final chapter will help you to work out the best way to manage your own weight problem. If you do have a weight problem, then the information in this book can help you to make an individual plan. This includes all aspect of weight issues, including whether you have an uncontrolled, emotional or restrained attitude to eating. Managing a weight problem on an individual basis is the way forward.

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 Rethinking Thin written by Gina Kolata and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2008-04-29 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this eye-opening book, New York Times science writer Gina Kolata shows that our society's obsession with dieting and weight loss is less about keeping trim and staying healthy than about money, power, trends, and impossible ideals. Rethinking Thin is at once an account of the place of diets in American society and a provocative critique of the weight-loss industry. Kolata's account of four determined dieters' progress through a study comparing the Atkins diet to a conventional low-calorie one becomes a broad tale of science and society, of social mores and social sanctions, and of politics and power. Rethinking Thin asks whether words like willpower are really applicable when it comes to eating and body weight. It dramatizes what it feels like to spend a lifetime struggling with one's weight and fantasizing about finally, at long last, getting thin. It tells the little-known story of the science of obesity and the history of diets and dieting—scientific and social phenomena that made some people rich and thin and left others fat and miserable. And it offers commonsense answers to questions about weight, eating habits, and obesity—giving us a better understanding of the weight that is right for our bodies.

Download or read book Why Calories Don t Count written by Giles Yeo and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Cambridge obesity researcher upends everything we thought we knew about calories and calorie-counting. Calorie information is ubiquitous. On packaged food, restaurant menus, and online recipes we see authoritative numbers that tell us the calorie count of what we're about to consume. And we treat these numbers as gospel—counting, cutting, intermittently consuming and, if you believe some 'experts' out there, magically making them disappear. We all know, and governments advise, that losing weight is just a matter of burning more calories than we consume. But it's actually all wrong. In Why Calories Don't Count, Dr. Giles Yeo, an obesity researcher at Cambridge University, challenges the conventional model and demonstrates that all calories are not created equal. He addresses why popular diets succeed, at least in the short term, and why they ultimately fail, and what your environment has to do with your bodyweight. Once you understand that calories don't count, you can begin to make different decisions about how you choose to eat, learning what you really need to be counting instead. Practical, science-based and full of illuminating anecdotes, this is the most entertaining dietary advice you'll ever read.
