Home Exercise Handbook (PDF)Calculator Instructions (PDF)Show me my purchase options. About the Book. The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook offers a scientifically based approach to quick weight and fat loss. Recognizing that people need or simply want to lose weight and fat rapidly, I set out to develop the safest, most effective way of accomplishing that goal. I based the program around the idea of creating a diet that would provide the fewest calories possible while still providing all of the essential nutrients required by the body: protein, essential fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. This provides simply the safest and sanest way to lose fat quickly without sacrificing health (or muscle mass). Every aspect about how to set up the diet is laid out in a step by step form and the diet is based around whole foods that can be found at any market. With purchase of the book, you’ll also receive instructions for how to access an online calculator that will set up the diet and provide food recommendations. As well, the diet also incorporates concepts I’ve discussed on this site: free meals, refeeds and full diet breaks to help with both adherence and the body’s tendency to fight back when dieting. Guidelines are provided for when to take them, how to use them, etc. In addition, guidelines for moving back to maintenance, as well as for using the program to transition into a more moderate fat loss diet are provided in detail. Specific training guidelines are also provided in order to provide the best results with the least time investment. Massive amounts of exercise aren’t needed; quite in fact, too much exercise while on the rapid fat loss program can hinder results. Quite in fact, for the extremely overweight, no exercise is actually required to reap the benefits of the program. The book provides specific recommendations (for everyone from beginners to advanced trainees) for both resistance training and aerobic activity in terms of how often and how much will provide the best results. As well, realizing that most people can’t or won’t join a gym, I developed a small home- exercise handbook outlining a basic routine that can be followed with no or minimal equipment.

On average, caloric intakes on this diet will come out to between 4. For those of you familiar with ketogenic (low- carbohydrate, high- fat) diets, a PSMF is essentially a ketogenic diet without the dietary fat. Obviously, this will represent a fairly large caloric deficit; how large depending on your starting body weight and activity levels. So with all of that in mind, you may still be wondering what you can expect in terms of true fat loss per week. A lot of it, actually, will depend on where you’re starting out body weight wise (activity also factors in), as that determines your maintenance caloric level. A 1. 65- pound male with normal activity patterns may have a maintenance requirement of about 2. At 8. 00 calories per day on this diet, that’s almost a 2. Assuming all of the true (non- water) weight lost was fat (it won’t be), that should be an 8- pound fat loss in 2 weeks (2. The true fat loss will be lower because of various inefficiencies and the slowdown of metabolic rate (which can start after only 3- 4 days of severe caloric restriction). A larger individual, say 2. At 8. 00 cal per day on this diet, that’s a 3,0. Over 2 weeks, that’s a 4. That’s on top of the 1. Females or lighter individuals with their generally lower maintenance caloric requirements will lose less. True fat losses of 1/2 pound per day or slightly less may be all that they get: that still amounts to a considerable fat loss (6- 7 pounds true fat loss over 2 weeks) along with the extra water weight loss.

Obesity is a medical condition in which excess body fat has accumulated to the extent that it may have a negative effect on health. Obesity in children and adolescents is defined not as an absolute number but in relation to a historical normal group, such that obesity is a BMI greater than the 9. To convert from pounds per square inch multiply by 7. These comorbidities are most commonly shown in metabolic syndrome. The strength of the link between obesity and specific conditions varies. One of the strongest is the link with type 2 diabetes. Excess body fat underlies 6. Increased fat also creates a proinflammatory state. This has been attributed to the fact that people often lose weight as they become progressively more ill. People with class I obesity and heart disease do not have greater rates of further heart problems than people of normal weight who also have heart disease. In people with greater degrees of obesity, however, the risk of further cardiovascular events is increased. It has also changed significantly over time. The United States had the highest availability with 3,6. J) per person in 1. For women, the average increase was 3. J) per day (1,5. 42 calories (6,4. J) in 1. 97. 1 and 1,8. J) in 2. 00. 4), while for men the average increase was 1. J) per day (2,4. 50 calories (1. J) in 1. 97. 1 and 2,6. J) in 2. 00. 4). Most of this extra food energy came from an increase in carbohydrate consumption rather than fat consumption. In the United States, subsidization of corn, soy, wheat, and rice through the U. S. The World Health Organization indicates people worldwide are taking up less active recreational pursuits, while a study from Finland. Polymorphisms in various genes controlling appetite and metabolism predispose to obesity when sufficient food energy is present. As of 2. 00. 6, more than 4. Their ability to take advantage of rare periods of abundance by storing energy as fat would be advantageous during times of varying food availability, and individuals with greater adipose reserves would be more likely to survive famine. This tendency to store fat, however, would be maladaptive in societies with stable food supplies. Medical illnesses that increase obesity risk include several rare genetic syndromes (listed above) as well as some congenital or acquired conditions: hypothyroidism, Cushing's syndrome, growth hormone deficiency. There are a number of theories as to the cause but most believe it is a combination of various factors. The correlation between social class and BMI varies globally. A review in 1. 98. No significant differences were seen among men of different social classes. In the developing world, women, men, and children from high social classes had greater rates of obesity. The decrease in strength of correlation was felt to be due to the effects of globalization. A similar relationship is seen among US states: more adults, even in higher social classes, are obese in more unequal states. It is thought that in developed countries, the wealthy are able to afford more nutritious food, they are under greater social pressure to remain slim, and have more opportunities along with greater expectations for physical fitness. In undeveloped countries the ability to afford food, high energy expenditure with physical labor, and cultural values favoring a larger body size are believed to contribute to the observed patterns. A correlation in BMI changes over time has been found among friends, siblings, and spouses. Those who quit smoking gain an average of 4. A woman's risk increases by 7% per child, while a man's risk increases by 4% per child. In China overall rates of obesity are below 5%; however, in some cities rates of obesity are greater than 2. Gut flora has been shown to differ between lean and obese humans. There is an indication that gut flora in obese and lean individuals can affect the metabolic potential. This apparent alteration of the metabolic potential is believed to confer a greater capacity to harvest energy contributing to obesity. Whether these differences are the direct cause or the result of obesity has yet to be determined unequivocally. The amount that these associations may have contributed to the rising rate of obesity is yet to be determined. Friedman's laboratory. In the ob/ob mouse, mutations in the leptin gene resulted in the obese phenotype opening the possibility of leptin therapy for human obesity. However, soon thereafter J. Caro's laboratory could not detect any mutations in the leptin gene in humans with obesity. On the contrary Leptin expression was increased proposing the possibility of Leptin- resistance in human obesity. Since leptin's discovery, ghrelin, insulin, orexin, PYY 3- 3. The adipokines are mediators produced by adipose tissue; their action is thought to modify many obesity- related diseases. Leptin and ghrelin are considered to be complementary in their influence on appetite, with ghrelin produced by the stomach modulating short- term appetitive control (i. Leptin is produced by adipose tissue to signal fat storage reserves in the body, and mediates long- term appetitive controls (i. Although administration of leptin may be effective in a small subset of obese individuals who are leptin- deficient, most obese individuals are thought to be leptin resistant and have been found to have high levels of leptin. In particular, they and other appetite- related hormones act on the hypothalamus, a region of the brain central to the regulation of food intake and energy expenditure. There are several circuits within the hypothalamus that contribute to its role in integrating appetite, the melanocortin pathway being the most well understood. The second group coexpresses pro- opiomelanocortin (POMC) and cocaine- and amphetamine- regulated transcript (CART) and has stimulatory inputs to the VMH and inhibitory inputs to the LH. Consequently, NPY/Ag. RP neurons stimulate feeding and inhibit satiety, while POMC/CART neurons stimulate satiety and inhibit feeding. Both groups of arcuate nucleus neurons are regulated in part by leptin. Leptin inhibits the NPY/Ag. RP group while stimulating the POMC/CART group. Thus a deficiency in leptin signaling, either via leptin deficiency or leptin resistance, leads to overfeeding and may account for some genetic and acquired forms of obesity. Solutions look at changing the factors that cause excess food energy consumption and inhibit physical activity. Efforts include federally reimbursed meal programs in schools, limiting direct junkfood marketing to children. In 1. 99. 8, the first US Federal guidelines were published, titled . This is a comprehensive evidence- based guideline to address the management and prevention of overweight and obesity in adults and children. The Obesity Policy Action (OPA) framework divides measure into 'upstream' policies, 'midstream' policies, 'downstream' policies. One study found a weight loss of between 1. But as prosperity increased in the Early Modern period, it affected increasingly larger groups of the population. It was common among high officials in Europe in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. During the 2. 0th century, as populations reached their genetic potential for height, weight began increasing much more than height, resulting in obesity. The obesus or fat character in Greek comedy was a glutton and figure of mockery. During Christian times the food was viewed as a gateway to the sins of sloth and lust. People of all ages can face social stigmatization, and may be targeted by bullies or shunned by their peers. The weight that is viewed as an ideal has become lower since the 1. This is illustrated by the fact that the average height of Miss America pageant winners increased by 2% from 1. In Britain, the weight at which people considered themselves to be overweight was significantly higher in 2. This has become particularly common since the HIV epidemic began. Some attribute the Venus figurines to the tendency to emphasize fertility while others feel they represent . This continued through much of Christian European history, with only those of low socioeconomic status being depicted as obese. These women, however, still maintained the . After centuries of obesity being synonymous with wealth and social status, slimness began to be seen as the desirable standard. These effects are felt by all levels of society from individuals, to corporations, to governments. In 2. 00. 5, the medical costs attributable to obesity in the US were an estimated $1. Overweight and obese Australians also received A$3. However, the longer people live, the more medical costs they incur. Researchers, therefore, conclude that reducing obesity may improve the public's health, but it is unlikely to reduce overall health spending. They also had more than 1.

Exercise and Weight Loss: Importance, Benefits & Examples The Importance of Weight Loss and Exercise. Carrying around too much weight feels uncomfortable, and it can also damage your health. According the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity rates have skyrocketed in the United States in recent years. As of 2. 01. 0, more than one- third of American adults were considered obese, defined as having a body mass index (BMI) of 3. Body mass is derived by dividing weight in pounds by height in inches squared, and then multiplying the result by 7. You can calculate your body mass by following these three steps: Multiply your weight in pounds by 7. Calculate your height in inches squared. Divide the resulting number from step 1 by the resulting number in step 3. Obesity can lead to a number of serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and some types of cancer. One method that can help a person lose weight is to limit the number of calories taken in through their diet. The other way is to burn extra calories with exercise. Benefits Benefits of Exercise vs. Diet. Combining exercise with a healthy diet is a more effective way to lose weight than depending on calorie restriction alone. Exercise can prevent or even reverse the effects of certain diseases. Exercise lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, which may prevent a heart attack. In addition, if you exercise, you lower your risk of developing certain types of cancers such as colon and breast cancer. Exercise is also known to help contribute to a sense of confidence and well- being, thus possibly lowering rates of anxiety and depression. Exercise is helpful for weight loss and maintaining weight loss. It can also help you maintain and increase lean body mass, which also helps increase number of calories you burn each day. Exercise How Much Exercise Is Needed for Weight Loss?

Talk to a trainer or your healthcare team to help you determine your best intensity for each workout. Those with special health concerns such as an injury, diabetes, or a heart condition should consult a physician before beginning any fitness program. Types of Exercise What Are Some Examples of the Different Types of Exercise? The type of exercise you choose for weight loss doesn’t matter as much as whether or not you’re doing it. That’s why experts recommend you pick exercises you enjoy, so that you’ll stick to a regular routine. Aerobic. No matter what exercise program you implement, it should include some form of aerobic or cardiovascular exercise. Aerobic exercises get your heart rate up and your blood pumping. Aerobic exercises may include walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, and dancing. You can also work out on a fitness machine such as a treadmill, elliptical, or stair stepper. Weight Training. A big advantage of working out with weights is that, in addition to shedding fat, you’ll build muscle. Muscle, in turn, burns calories. Talk about a healthy feedback loop! Experts recommend working all the major muscle groups three times per week. This includes: absbackbicepscalveschestforearmshamstringsquadsshoulderstrapstriceps. Yoga. Yoga is not as intense as other types of exercise, but it can help you lose weight in other ways, according to a recent study by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The study found that people who practice yoga are more mindful about what they eat and, therefore, less likely to be obese. Lifestyle Incorporating Exercise Into Your Lifestyle. The total amount of exercise you engage in during a day matters more than whether or not you do it in a single session. That’s why small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference in your waistline. Healthy lifestyle habits to consider include: walking or riding your bike to work or while running errandstaking the stairs instead of the elevatorparking farther away from destinations and walking the remaining distance.
