Weight Management – Cont’d
What are two reasons that alcohol consumption can lead to an increase in body fatness?
o 7 kal/ga (eegy dese food, o utiets, asoed uikly so do’t edue aloi
intake)
o decrease in fat metabolism (shift from using fat to storing fat)
What are food choice options that should be considered to replace higher energy dense food
sources (3 categories)?
o Fiber rich foods
o Complex carbs
o Lean proteins and dairy products
What is shown to be the most effective weight loss strategy (with long term effect)?
o Focus on aerobic exercise, wt. bearing most impact but may not be practical
o A combination of dieting and exercise?
What do studies commonly show when they compare dieting to exercise as a method of wt. loss
and type of weight loss?
o Diet can often lose weight rapidly but it is a lot of lean weight (when goal is fat weight)
What about effect on RMR and why is there a big focus on impact on Resting Metabolic Rate
(RMR)?
o RMR is highest calorie burner everyday
o Diets decrease RMR and exercise increases RMR
What happens to eating habits as individuals engage in a regular exercise program?
o Increase in caloric intake but decrease in body fat
What do we know about the role of genetics with regard to obesity?
o Many genes associated with obesity
o Twins studies saw similar weight loss within a twin set but not between twin sets
o However, in long term, twins will have different body sizes if they are active vs.
sedentary over a lifespan
o 40% of obesity is explained by genetics
thrifty metabolism
can only make small changes to metabolism
What does the national registry of individuals who have lost 60+ lbs and kept it off for 2 + years
show as a common thread?
o Key is to exercise every day for 60 min a day
How does the prescription for weight management differ from that prescribed for weight
loss? Why?
o Weight loss: focus on aerobic; daily frequency; 40-70% of max; 60 min blocks of time
o Maintenance: mix of strength (2days) and aerobic (3days); 60-75% of max, 30-45 min
blocks of time
o Do’t eed to change weight, just maintain
What are key ingredients of the exercise prescription and what is the bottom line that needs to
be met?
o Bottom Line: total calories burned is what matters
A combination of intensity and time is key to energy expenditure (ex. Walking
and running 3 miles will burn same calories but running will do in shorter time)
o Ingredients: mode, intensity, frequency, time
