Dieting

Being a dietitian requires a person to know how to teach others to eat healthily, and properly. As a dietitian I would help others find what meals work best with their diets, and sometimes work with their budgets as well. Helping people with their meals not only includes healthy, but what they can eat because of mobility, and other issues they might have.

Looking back at my goal assignment I made in October, I honestly became somewhat disappointed in myself in my first two goals. My first goal of achieving a 6:20 mile was not obtained. By the time I made the first goal assignment, my best mile time was 6:59 but in the first mile I did at the beginning of the school year, I got 7:42---currently it’s at 6:33. I did not reach this goal partly because I slacked it from January to April by not improving and just staying around the same time. My…

Morbid obesity is a growing problem here in the United States. People are less active, and eat unhealthy foods much more often. From the looks of it, obesity appears to be a meidcal condition; however, I believe that it can also be a psychological disorder, depending on a persons symptoms. All eating disorders, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, or others tend to have a shared trait: the victim of the condition is not thinking normally. They wouldn't be considered 'conditions' if they were. These…

People may go on and have their counter analyses on my views of libertarianism. A question such as “ No one may have told you to eat, but the fact that you were hungry, was that a choice or did you just get hungry?” I would have to agree with the fact that it does contradict that I am acting on my free will. I wasn’t hungry by choice; it is something within me that drives me to be hungry without much of an actual choice. Being or not being hungry is out of my control no matter what I appeal to…

Chron’s Disease is a very life-invasive disease that requires significant lifestyle and dietary changes to someone who is newly diagnosed. Because this disease cannot be cured, learning to survive on a stable and restricted diet, is the best option for treatment in order to live as comfortably as possible with Chron’s Disease. With Chron’s disease, a very specific and elimination diet is required. This disease is essentially an irritation and inflammation of the bowel that can affect the…

You can say you want to lose weight a million times. But, until you actually get up and try, you are not going to lose a pound. I believe the theme actions speak louder than words is very important. If you can't prove something you said, then you shouldn't say it at all. To start with, everybody has the freedom to say anything they like. But, people are not going to believe everything you say. If you want someone to believe in you, you most likely have to prove yourself by showing actions…

In this entry I am going to react to the Fat Acceptance Movement. The fat acceptance movement is a social movement to change anti-fat bias in society. This is also known as size acceptance, fat liberation, fat activism, and fat power. The areas of contention include the aesthetic, legal, and medical approaches to people whose bodies are bigger than the social norms. There is a non-profit, all volunteer ran organization called The National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance (NAAFA), which was…

60% of Americans are overweight or obese. This means if there were twenty random people in a room, at least thirteen would be at an unhealthy weight. But why is this so? In the nutritional field, fingers are constantly being pointed at different causes for this strange phenomenon. Incidentally I am well aware that this is an unusual topic, however, it seemed to be the perfect as I am dedicated to becoming a nutritionist someday. In fact, I have subjected myself to an experiment a month before in…

Patients lose, on average, about 100 pounds or more in just one year, and they also lower their risk of obesity related diseases like hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol.Dr. Paul Shekelle states,”Surgery for obesity, often called bariatric surgery, shrinks the stomach into a small pouch and rearranges the digestive tract so that food enters the small intestine at a later point than usual.” So many young females are obese and yet again look for cosmetic surgery as their answer. Teenage…
