Turn Off the Fat Genes by Neal Barnard, MD Pdf

Breakthrough genetic research indicates that genes are not just onoff switches for characteristics we can't control (like gender or eye color). Some genes, including those that shape our bodies, actually adapt to outside influences. In Turn Off the Fat Genes, Dr. Neal Barnard draws on this cutting-edge research to create a revolutionary new program for activating thin genes and suppressing fat genes, a dramatic tool for sculpting away excess pounds to reveal the healthy, vital body that nature intended. In Turn Off the Fat Genes, Dr. Barnard begins by explaining the dynamics of nutrition and its impact on genetics. Once you understand how the genes that control your shape can be influenced, the next step is positive intervention. The heart of Dr. Barnard's book is a three-week gene-control program (complete with menus and recipes) specifically designed to influence the five key genes that determine: (1) which foods you prefer, (2) the strength of your appetite, (3) whether your calories are burned or stored as fat, (4) how fast you burn calories, and (5) your muscular type and ability to exercise. Dr. Barnard's program enables all of us to enjoy the same virtually effortless weight control as the naturally thin people we have always admired.

The Weight Issue by A. E. Oates Pdf

Review: "a great book if you are sceptical about weight loss diets, confused by the competing claims of different approaches, and not sure of the way forward. It's a positive and supportive read that puts weight loss in perspective..."C Michael, journalist Product Description: If you want to know the medical evidence for the cause of weight problems, and which will be the most successful diet or exercise regime for you personally, then this book holds the answers. If you are overweight, it is not your fault but is due to your inherited genes combined with other factors. The tendency to eat automatically, "comfort" eating and the changes in modern food availability, can all contribute to a weight problem. Most people are unaware that weight is inherited to the same extent that height is inherited. People who lose weight, and successfully keep the weight off for a period of years, do so by following an individual plan. If having extra weight is not your fault, then why worry about it? Unless you are particularly vain, you will want to know whether there is likely to be an effect on your health. Being overweight or mildly obese is not likely to increase the chance of early death, and the association of weight with illness is put into perspective in Chapter 2. It has been found that larger people are often treated disrespectfully by the medical profession (they are the most common targets for derogatory humour from doctors) and you will also find strategies for dealing with this sort of discrimination in this book. You will want to know whether diets "work" and the medical evidence for their effectiveness. Chapter 3 looks at various diets, including the popular "intermittent fasting" diet, diets which vary proportions of fat, protein and carbohydrates, glycemic index diet, very low calorie diets (such as followed by Oprah years ago), commercial diets, meal replacements (such as Slim Fast), pre-packaged meals (such as Jenny Craig) and diet websites. Most diets cause weight loss in the first six months and this is often followed by partial or total regain. Long term success hinges on finding something that works for the individual, and this book aims to help the reader to find a regime that will work for them personally. It is a myth that exercise always helps with weight loss. In fact, some of us will lose weight with exercise, but others compensate by eating more. Chapter 4 will help you to decide which category you fall into. Men tend to lose weight with exercise and women get less relative benefit. Preventing weight regain is more difficult than losing it in the first place. Chapter 5 discusses the evidence that some strategies to avoid weight regain are much more successful than others. The sort of eating regime you have, the frequency of weight monitoring, and even the way in which you think about food, can all influence the likelihood of regaining weight. If you have a significant weight problem (and particularly if you are female) it is likely that you have come across prejudice associated with your size. There is discrimination in many areas - including employment, the media and transport. Studies show that those most likely to be prejudiced are conservative, racist men who are in favour of capital punishment and afraid of gaining weight themselves. Chapter 6 gives practical advice about how to cope with the stigma that can go with being overweight, and presents the evidence that the prejudice is unfounded. The final chapter will help you to work out the best way to manage your own weight problem. If you do have a weight problem, then the information in this book can help you to make an individual plan. This includes all aspect of weight issues, including whether you have an uncontrolled, emotional or restrained attitude to eating. Managing a weight problem on an individual basis is the way forward.

Living with Our Genes by Dean H. Hamer,Peter Copeland Pdf

"A lucid, thought-provoking account of the case for 'nature' as a determinant of personality." —Peter D. Kramer, Author of Listening to Prozac and Should You Leave? Nowhere is the nature-nuture controversy being more arduously tested than in the labs of world-renowned molecular scientist Dean Hamer, whose cutting-edge research has indisputably linked specific genes to behavioral traits, such as anxiety, thrill-seeking, and homosexuality. The culmination of that research os this provocative book, Living with Our Genes. In it, Dr. Hamer reveals that much of our behavior—how much we eat and weigh, whether we drink or use drugs, how often we have sex—is heavily influenced by genes. His findings help explain why one brother becomes a Wall Street trader, while his sibling remains content as a librarian, or why some people like to bungee-jump, while others prefer Scrabble. Dr. Hamer also sheds light on some of the most compelling and vexing aspects of personality, such as shyness, aggression, depression, and intelligence. In the tradition of the bestselling book Listening to Prozac, Living with Our Genes is the first comprehensive investigation of the crucial link between our DNA and our behavior. "Compulsive reading, reminiscent of Jared Diamond, froma scientsit who knows his stuff and communicates it well." —Kirkus Reviews "A pioneer in the field of molecular psychology, Hamer is exploring the role genes play in governing the very core of our individuality. Accessible...provocative." —Time "Absolutely terrific! I couldn't put it down." —Professor Robert Plomin, Social, Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry Research Center, Institute of Psychiatry

This book provides a comprehensive compilation of the evidence available regarding the role of genetic differences in the etiology of human obesities and their health and metabolic implications.

Leading researchers in their respective fields present contributed chapters on such topics as etiology and the prevalence of obesities, nongenetic determinants of obesity and fat topography, and animal models and molecular biological technology used to delineate the genetic basis of human obesities. A major portion of the book is devoted to human genetic research and clinical observations encompassing adoption studies, twin studies, family studies, single gene effects, temporal trends and etiology heterogeneity, energy intake and food preference, energy expenditure, and susceptibility to metabolic derangements in the obese state. Future directions of research in the field are covered in the book as well.
