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.
A Course In Weight Loss
For so many people, whether your addiction is to a substance or merely to a certain way of thinking or acting, a profound humbling occurs when you realize that your problem is bigger than you are. The terror of realizing, even dimly, that you have no control over a self-destructive pattern of behavior that as much as you would want to, you simply cannot stop can mark a crucial turning point in your life. At that point, you go in one of two directions: either way, way down, or way, way up. . . . This book is for you if you know in your heart that you are an addict, and that you are powerless before your addictive behavior. As the title promises, Marianne Williamson looks at weight loss from a spiritual perspective, bringing you 30 lessons that can be done separately or in conjunction with any other serious spiritual path. These 30 lessons are completely separate from anything related to diet or exercise they will retrain your consciousness in the area of weight in order to break the cycle of overeating, dieting, and shame that rules so many lives. Finally, Marianne has brought you what you've been waiting for: help to heal your addiction once and for all!
The Weight Loss Bible
QVC pundits, infomercials, social media multilevel marketing schemes, and pimple-faced personal trainers are all making money off the concept that there is one thing you have been missing in your weight loss endeavor. They have found the answer (of course, no one else has found this mysterious elixir). And if you buy their supplement, workout video, piece of exercise equipment, protein shake, etc., then you will have the body of your dreams. This crafty weight loss industry is making fifty billion dollars per year on the back of failed weight loss attempts. The reality is, weight loss and weight maintenance is multifaceted with dozens of principles to consider and apply. This book is meant to be a tool and guide on your weight loss/maintenance journey. The chapters of this book discuss the hard facts on weight loss, why it is so hard to lose weight, and the many principles that need to be mastered to lose weight. The hope of the author is for the reader to be empowered with a better understanding of what it takes to lose weight and keep it off. Additionally, a plan called the twenty-four-hour weight loss plan is included that applies all concepts in the text.
