Book Description
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.

Book Description
Why is weighing yourself the single best daily health habit you can have? Who are the people who tell you to avoid your scale--and why? "Moderation" is very common weight loss advice. What makes it so difficult for people to follow? If you need to lose weight, you're not alone. There has been a stunning jump in obesity in the past 50 years. Now, more than 71 percent of people in the United States are overweight or obese. This increase is not caused by a massive failure of willpower. We're not experiencing an explosion of greed. No, many of us are just living in an environment that encourages constant overeating. We're playing a game that we're not equipped to win. But Weigh Every Day can help you win. With the ideas, advice, and understanding that you get from this book, you can win the weight battle through sustainable, lifetime habits. What if what you hear from almost everyone, "Weighing yourself every day just leads to obsession and anxiety" is flat-out wrong? What if avoiding the scale can actually cause weight gain? You'll learn how this happens in Weigh Every Day. You may be trying to lose a substantial amount of weight, or perhaps it's a few pounds that have slowly built up. You need to know specifically how to lose the weight--permanently? There's so much advice out there, so many books, programs, and products. There's fads and lots of conflicting recommendations. Who knows what to believe? Weigh Every Day is based on understanding and avoiding the factors that cause people to gain weight. You don't need to follow extreme diets. And you decide what your plan is. Weigh Every Day will show you: The reasons why obesity has skyrocketed in the past 50 years How an in-depth understanding of these reasons can help you lose weight The backstory on how stepping on the scale daily improves your habits Why weekly weigh-ins can cause problems How you can avoid "Moment of Truth" thinking when weighing yourself Tips that make your daily weigh-in anxiety-free and automatic And you'll learn about food rules: The reason why trying to eat small portions of addictive foods can lead to failure Why food rules--having a clear line between food you eat and food you don't eat--can be much easier than moderation How personalized food rules are more effective than "one-size fits all" rules The features of a good food rule, compared to a bad one Specific ways to avoid feeling deprived Why slow habit changes (instead of a big overhaul) gives you more chance of success There's a lot of weight-loss hype out there. Many well-intentioned, convincing people are selling plans and programs. But are these plans and programs based on theories that makes sense? Do they take into account the reasons behind the obesity epidemic? No. Usually they just push something that sounds appealing, like "Eat all the meat you want and still lose weight!". But these aren't sustainable. Don't waste time on these. Discover how the ideas and strategies in Weigh Every Day can help you on your weight loss journey.

Book Description
Isn’t your desire to overeat really spiritual hunger? “I can stop in the middle of a candy bar and have no desire to eat the second half if my stomach is not calling for it.” - Gwen Shamblin Do you eat and eat and never feel full? Rise above the magnetic pull of the refrigerator and turn to the bounty offered to thousands who have embraced a liberating weight-reduction program in churches across America. The Weigh Down Diet gives new hope to millions who have failed on conventional diets and guides readers to the richer satisfaction that comes not from food, but from faith. Gwen Shamblin’s The Weigh Down Diet is a groundbreaking approach to weight loss. People who have known no end to their hunger and who have no control over their late-night binges have learned through the Weigh Down Workshop that they can remove the irresistible desire for food. This is not a diet like others, because it is not food-focused. It contains chapters such as “It’s Not Genetics or Your Mother’s Fault,” “I Feel Hungry All the Time,” and “How to Eat Potato Chips and Chocolate.” So, as you can see, here is a very different approach to weight loss. Weigh Down gives back hope to dieters who will learn that God did not put chocolate or lasagna on Earth to torture us – but rather for our enjoyment!
