1 lb of fat =
3500 kcals
reasonable weight loss
1/2-2 lbs/week; 10% wt/6 months
energy balance
energy in = energy out
weight loss prob. : consumes 2000 kcals/day and expends 2300 kcals/day. How much weight will Joe lose in one month? (30 days)
300kcals/day * 30 days = 9000 kcals
9000kcals / 3500 kcal = 2.57 lbs lost in 30 days
hunger
physiological drive
appetite
integrated response to sight, sound, though or tast of food that initiates or delays eating response
satiation
feeling of satisfaction
satiety
after meal satisfaction...inhibits eating until next meal
hunger and satiety cues
both internal and external
satiating effects of nutrients protein
highest satiety value
satiating effects of nutrients complex CHOs and fiber
high satiety value
satiating effects of nutrients fat
weaker satiety
where is satiety interpreted?
hypothalamus
calories spend =
energy out
thermogenesis
body's generation of heat
basal metabolism?
60-65%... 2/3 of energy expenditure
physical activity
variable %; accounts for voluntary movement of skeletal muscles and support systems. Most changeable/variable component of energy expenditure
Thermic effect of food (TEF)
10% of total energy expenditure; accounts for energy needed to process food (digest, absorb, transport, metabolize food)
basal metabolic rate (BMR)
rate at which body spends energy for involuntary activites
how your height affects you BMR
people of different heights may weigh the same but taller, thinner one will have higher BMR (expend more energy) greater surface area
10 Kcal Rule
to estimate kcals/day required for healthy weight loss.
Ex. multiple weigh in pounds by 10
quick calculation for basal needs
weight in kg * 24
kcal requirements/day for healthy men
2300-2900 kcal/day
kcal requirements/day for healthy women
1900-2200 kcal/day
components of a healthy weight loss plan
1. moderate diet plan (> 1200 kcals/day)
2. regular exercise
3. behavior modification
Body mass index (BMI)
an index of a person's weight in relation to height
BMI =
weight (kg) / height (m2)
underweight
< 8.5 BMI
healthy
18.5-24.9 BMI
overweight
25.0-29.9 BMI
obese
> 30 BMI
BMI reflects height and weight measures but NOT
body composition
central body fat (android obesity)
central/ intra-abdominal fat stored deep in abdomen and around organs; apple shaped; upper body obesity ; android - manlike
android obesity causes
increase risk of CVD, stroke, diabetes, hypertenstion, some cancers, joint injury
benign obesity (gynoid obesity)
fat around hips and thighs; "pear" shaped; gynoid- womanlike
gynoid obesity causes
decrease risk of CVD, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, some cancers and joint injury
waist circumference of men that causes increased risk of CVD, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, some cancers, joint injury
waist > 40
waist circumference of women that causes increased risk of CVD, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, some cancers, joint injury
waist > 35
waist/hip ratio
index of increased risk of CVD, stroke, diabetes, hypertension and some cancers
waist/hip ratio for men
> 0.9
waist/hip ratio of women
> 0.8
genetics: when both parents are obese what is the chance their children will be obese
80%
when neither parents is obese what is the chance their children will be obese?
10%
what enviroment causes obesity?
overeating and physical inactivity
What percentage of people successfully lose weight and keep if off for 1 year?
5%
best treatment for obesity?
small goals- elusive goals
obesity treatment dangers:
fad diets, weight cycling, psychological problems
aggressive treatments of obesity?
drugs, surgery
obesity treatment surgery?
tummy tuck, liposuction, gastroplasty, gastric band, balloons
reasonable treatments for obesity?
10 kcal rule, consume no less than 900-1200 kcals/day, spare protein, eat small portions, limit high fat foods, eat complex carbs (high in fiber), drink water before eating, be physically active, behavior modification
Hamwi method for healthy or ideal body weight: females
100 lbs fro first 5 ft; add 5 lbs for each additional inch; +- 10%
Example: 5'4" female
100 lbs + 20 lbs = 120 +- 10%
Hamwi method for healthy or ideal body weight: males
106 lbs for first 5 ft; add 6 lbs for each additional inch; +- 10%
Ex. 6'2" male
106 + 84 = 190 +- 10%
fatfold measures
estimates of total body fatness are determined by measuring the thickness of a fold of skin on the back of the arm, below the shoulder blade, and other places with skin caliper
hydrodensitometry
subject is weighed on land and then weighed again while submerged in water; requires bulky, expensive, non-portable equipment; not practical for all people
bioelectrical impedance
method of estimating total body fat using low-intensity electrical current
if answer no to any of the weight loss questions...
the diet is probably not healthy and will not result in long-term, healthy weight loss
