Dieting Makes People Fat

When reading about some of the diet I was familiar with, I began speaking to my 50 year old aunt, whom revealed that she had struggle with dieting most of her adult life. After making a complete list of the diets she has tried, some common factors were present. In every diet there are many risk factors that could possibly occur, such as relapse. In the quote “Eat less fat and you will be less fat” is the main reason the diets that most people try don’t work because most nutritional value is lost this book gives you the truth about myths and misconceptions that many diet

“…So many people want to know about diets because so many people are going to try them, but they don’t work … some weight will be lost temporarily.” Harvey Diamond, author, was speaking. “But let me ask you something – do you want to be healthy temporarily? No. But you want to lose weight temporarily. They’re – They have failures built right into them.”

The thought of a diet has crossed the mind of many females. Maybe she wants to lose a few pounds to fit in her prom dress, or get back down to her college size. However, what if the mental capacity of that person, would not let them end the diet. In her mind she is still fat, even if she weighed only ninety pounds, this happens to a female with Anorexia Nervous (AN).

Obesity: One of the ancient trait we have is to store food in our body when we need that in the event of the famine. Back in the old days, we use to prey on other animals and hunt and we were agriculturist. But, in the modern world, there are a lot of people that just eat and doesn’t exercise or not, let the calories burn. They also overstuff themselves, letting the food they had before sit there and convert into fat. This is the ultimate reason for humans to get overweight. This tells us that our body was made to eat food in a limited amount and exercising.

There are some myths about hunger and satiety I’d like to address. First the lack of energy (fuel) is not what causes hunger. Second if you manage to lose weight without changing your lifestyle when you go back to eating as you always did you will gain it right back. Exercising alone is not an effective way to lose weight; if you don’t change the intake of calories there is no amount of exercise that can keep up. Exercising has healthy benefits but each of us has to have balance of the correct amount of calories and exercise to be healthy.

However, (Kidd, Graor, & Murrock, 2013) proposed a theoretical basis of the self-regulation theory (Schwartz, 1975), which suggests that the regulation of internal physiologic processes such as heart rate, blood pressure, etc., relies upon on the capability to observe internal responses (Schwartz, 1975). The authors noted that emotional eaters might be unable to differentiate between hunger (an internal physiologic process) and automatic, emotion-driven eating, which then leads to overeating and thus contributes to obesity. However, treating the dysfunction of self-regulation may restore balance between emotional and internal physiologic cues, leading to weight regulation (Kidd et al., 2013). Research shows that mindfulness-based interventions have successfully treated disorders of self-regulation, as the psychological and emotional benefits of mindfulness, such as the containment and down-regulation of negative emotional responses (J. J. arch, & Landy, L.N., 2015; J. J. Arch et al., 2016; J. J. Arch & Craske, 2006), may create the space for more positive responses, as evidenced by findings by (J. J. Arch et al., 2016). This study found that their brief mindfulness intervention led to consumption of less calories from unhealthy foods, which was mediated by greater eating enjoyment (Arch et al., 2016). One would think that if the enjoyment of eating were increased through a mindful intervention, one

According to “The Food Addiction,” overeating is the same as a drug addiction because as we increase our consumption rate we are increasing our desire to have more. The more we have the more we want because it is readily avaible for us. On the other, “The Food Addiction,” states that modern foods have an overwhelming affect to our biological feedback networks. This is because it disrupts our hormone regulation, such as hormones that control our appetite and weigh

In the article, “Binge Eating At Night? Your Hormones May Be to Blame,” A New York Times journalist, Roni Rabin, discusses the science behind the causes of obesity. She claims that excess production of a hormone called ghrelin can be the cause. Despite the science behind obesity, Rabin still believes a person suffering from excess hormone production can be at a healthy weight. This article, published on January 30, 2018, was written for New York Times readers who are obese and those who are dieting. Rabin writes to make her audience aware of the fact that the cause of their weight gain could be scientific. This information serves two purposes for readers: it could encourage them to resist the urge to eat late at night and help a struggling dieter out of a rut. The article, "Binge Eating at Night? Your Hormones May Be to Blame” is rhetorically effective because Rabin gives readers ample amount of factual evidence. Because of Rabin’s successful execution of the rhetorical devices, her article was undoubtedly effective.

Maria Konnikova in her essay “Why Do We Eat, and Why Do We Gain Weight?” talking about how our bodies deal with hunger. Why do eat more than we actually need? Obesity is a big problem nowadays and we don’t really know how to deal with it. A lot of times we call oversized people lazy and say that they can’t control what they eat. But how many times we caught ourselves of not being able to stop eating even though we were already full? How does it work that we can’t resist food? It’s because we’re unaware of what’s going on in our bodies. All the chemical reaction and tricks that our body can serve us leads to false hunger that we feel. We have to learn to read the signals that our body is sending us, to stay healthy. There’s a lot of research that explains how our body deals with hunger.

While 34 percent people in the United States are obese, almost one out of every six households will find themselves fearful sometime in a year of not having sufficient amount of food to eat. Truly, these problem are not related to any specific one race or gender, and they are not simply due to faults of willpower or personnel discipline. As author mentioned they are symptoms of a broken food system.

This action from human metabolism makes it harder for people to control their weight. “Losing weight has proven to be extremely difficult for large numbers of people,” even with major weight loss programs, such as weight watchers, a program used internationally, “people shed pounds but regain them and many situations gain even more,” this is called “yo-yo dieting” or the constant loss of weight only to gain it back at a later time (CDCP 54). According to Sally E. Smith in her article, “The great diet deception,” weight loss diets and products, very rarely produce long lasting results. Less than five percent of people that go on strict diets accomplish losing weight and actually keeping that weight loss off for over a five year span (Smith). Ninety percent fail, and regain a lot of it back, even all of it in many cases (Smith). A third of that five percent regain more than they had ever lost (Spake).Since dieting is so hard, healthy professionals encourage exercise or a good amount of moderate physical activity, as a way of losing or maintain weight (CDCP 54).The determination of one’s diet is based on a balance of “energy in,” “energy out” difference (Mypyramid.gov). In other words, the amount of calories that are taken in minus the calories burned. For instance, if someone wants to lose weight, the calories that are burned through the whole day need to be greater than the calories that are absorbed that day.

What peoples beliefs are can also affect their diet, they may become vegetarian or vegan which can be very healthy if executed the right way. A lot of studies have been done that relate stress and weight gain, so stress can definitely influence the way a person eats. Not only can it be academically but also social kind of stress can contribute to unhealthy choices, for example, after a bad breakup people actually do tend to eat more sweets and just sit around. Information on what people can do different in their diets would be very helpful; having a better knowledge on healthier diets would help people recognize what they are doing wrong and how to fix it. Many times people turn to fad diets because the fastest way and easiest place to get information from, now a days, is going on the internet and that’s were so many fad diets are being advertised. Time, it is apparently a hard thing to find in college, no one has time to go out to the store and buy groceries much less cook them, leading people to find something they can make quick in order to go back and hit the books or the television, a quick meal most of the time isn’t the best thing. These were some of the main reasons mentioned by the students that seem to affect eating behaviors (Deliens,

Many people today eat when their emotionally such as because the person is bored, sad, anger or even happy. Obesity can be caused by things like stress or depression and can cause a number of different health implications. For example a person that is obese is more likely to have diabetes later in life and also suffer heart problems. Over 30% of today’s population seek treatment for weight problems and this is all caused through binge eating. Binge eating is when someone eats large amount of food while feeling they can’t control how much they are eating, people who seriously binge and a very obese develop a disorder call binge eating disorder. The people with this kind of eating disorder find it difficult to lose weight and also find it difficult to control how much they are eating. Many people may need serious help for example counselling or medication or even operation to

One topic that has been talked about for many years within Kinesiology is the debate on whether exercise or diet is more important for losing weight and maintaining weight loss. While both or important for a person's individual health, a person's diet is essentially the foundation for a healthy lifestyle and an important factor in losing weight and gaining nutrients that can help the body develop. Many studies and experiments have shown that a healthy diet goes a long way in helping people lose more weight, but more importantly teaches them how to continue to treat their bodies in a healthy manner. Dieting has been shown to have a bigger impact on weight loss than exercise has. For this reason, it can be said that a good diet is more effective for weight loss as compared to exercise alone.
