Obesity and overweight measures to help lose weight and community strategies ...Prab Tumpati
As the nation fights an epidemic of Obesity, here are some of the measures at the level of the community from Centers For Disease Control.
If you are overweight or obese and trying to lose weight, you are not alone. According to statistics, up to 70 percent of the adult population in the United States are either overweight or obese. Our countries approach of blaming the victim for obesity does not help.

Free weight loss and diet tips for healthy eating and portion control of foodPrab Tumpati
This is a public domain document from the state of Vermont with excellent points on portion control. 20 years ago, a typical bagel was 3” and 140 calories. Today, a typical bagel is 6” and 360 calories.
The larger bagel is an extra 200 calories. Eating 22 extra calories a day equals a weight gain of 23 pounds a year.
As we welcome the new year 2014, it is important to make a resolution to reduce portions as even cutting down by by a small amount a day can add up.
The other very important and often misunderstood aspect of the foods is the glycemic index of foods. For example, a typical bagel has a very high glycemic index of over 70 percent leading what is called "sugar rush" and "sugar crash". This phenomenon is so common that this is what drives the hunger in most people! This also leads to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and diabetes.
How does glycemic index affect us?
Your body quickly digests the starches found in bagels, which causes your blood sugar levels to rise quickly and a few hours later, it leads to the crash. The higher the glycemic index of a food, the more it affects your blood sugar levels. Table sugar or sucrose has a glycemic index of 60, while the glycemic index of bagels averages 70 - a bagel is worse than even sugar. A breakfast rich in high-glycemic foods such as bagels can predispose you to weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
In fact, Sumo wrestlers in Japan intentionally eat high glycemic diet for rapid weight gain, and there are reports that body builders in USA are intentionally using this principle of insulin resistance leading quick weight gain for their benefit by using insulin. According to the CDC, a third of all US adults are prediabetic or insulin resistant, and another third have some degree of it!
According to Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD, founder of W8MD medical weight loss centers of America, our obsession with low fatty foods as advocated by the failed food pyramid in fact contributed to our expanding waist lines by way of increased insulin resistance which in turn causes weight gain!
If you are overweight or obese, have excess belly fat, or have metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, or diabetes, and need help losing weight with health insurance, w8md medical weight loss centers of America can help!

Effects of unhealthy eating habits
Specific Aims
1). Concise statement of goals I would like to work with individuals experiencing health problems due to unhealthy eating habits, and inactivity. The purpose is to see if participants would agree to attend the program for 5 days to learn about healthy diet, food, exercise, food preparation, calorie count, and if they would use resources available to help them with their diet and exercise.
2). Novel Design
Chart #1: Displays the numbers of people eating fruits, vegetables, and consuming a low cal diet, vegetarians, dieters, unhealthy eaters
Chart #2: Displays the five categories that I will use to create manuals for participants to review to learn about the socio demographics, psychosocial knowledge and how beliefs attitudes and norms are part of self-efficacy and it establishes behavior patterns.
Per: Raghunathan, Rajagopal, et al. “The Unhealthy = Tasty Intuition and Its Effects on Taste Inferences, Enjoyment, and Choice of Food Products. “Journal of Marketing, vol.70, no. 4 (2006), pp. 170-184
3). solve a specific problem
I would like to design a comprehensive program on a community or state level that addresses poor eating habits, poor nutrition, and physical inactivity. Within the State of Maryland we have a large amount of chronic diseases and death per year due to the poor diets that people have become comfortable with, and the lack of physical activity which also contributes to the high rates of sugar diabetes, osteoporosis, obesity, and stroke. This is a serious matter when you think about it 1 out of 10 people suffer from one or more of the chronic diseases listed. I would like to have a facility where I can teaching people how to eat by using scales to measure the portion of meats, vegetables, fruits, measuring the amount of calories, carbohydrates, saturated fats, total fat, what foods to eat, how to prepare them. If I can encourage families to join us for a day to enjoy fun exercise activities, along with healthy meal made using fresh fruits and vegetables. Families will want to come again enthused to improve their dietary patterns and activities. Within this facility I would like a gym and track to allow them to exercise because this will boots their energy and if we meet with them three times a week to teach regular physical activity. The object is to show them how to improve their muscle strength and boost their endurance. The gym would afford them the resource needed to exercise. The exercise gives them great benefits to deliver oxygen and nutrients to their tissues and improve their cardiovascular system. The nutrition program and the exercise stem together would make this efficient. By showing participants end results that reflect a healthier heart and lung they will feel good an ...

Benefits of NHS Choices for those wanting to lose weight or get fitterNHSChoices
Report of the findings of an web survey amongst those coming to the NHS Choices site to find information to help them lose weight or get fitter. The report uses the Di Clemente behaviour change model to identify the extent to which the site influences behaviour
Social support through positive, health-promoting relationships can have a significant impact on motivation and long-term success. Otherwise, the health risk can increase dramatically. For example, when someone close to a participant becomes overweight, their chances of becoming overweight increase 45%-171% (depending on the nature of the relationship).
This paper focuses on the advantages of social support, with ideas for your organization to take advantage of these findings.

Before you design any nutrition education intervention, whether it is a few sessions or a larger program with several components, it is important to determine your intervention focus and identify your intended primary audience. When those have been determined, you will need detailed information on the behaviors and practices that contribute to the issue or problem you have selected as your intervention focus. Step 1 worksheets will help you conduct assessments to obtain the information you will need.
Think of yourself as a detective as you work through these worksheets. You are trying to find out as much as you can to determine which core behaviors or behavioral goals will be the targets for your educational sessions.
The information you collect may be quite extensive, depending on the scope and duration of your intervention, and will vary by category. Cite information sources (e.g., journal article, government report, observation, interview) used in the worksheet in a bibliography at the end of this step.
At the end of the Step 1 worksheets, you should have products for Steps 1A, 1B, and 1C as follows:
Step 1A: Health issues or needs (one or two) and primary intended audience for the nutrition education intervention. Examples are “overweight in teenagers” or “low rates of breastfeeding in a low-income audience.”
Step 1B: High-priority behaviors contributing to the selected issues. A set of one to a few nutrition-related behaviors or community practices that contribute to the health issue(s) that you identified.
Step 1C: Statement of the program’s behavioral or action goals. The behavioral or action goals describe the purpose or behavioral outcomes for the program in terms of behaviors or community practices.
Use these worksheets as guides to help you identify program behavioral goals. Cite information sources in the text and add references to the bibliography at the end of the step. Electronic versions of these worksheets are available
at http://nutrition.jbpub.com/education/2e. If you are unable to access the worksheets electronically, you can write onto this blank worksheet or create a text document that uses the same flow of information.
Step 1A: Issues and intended audience
Describe the demographics of your audience (e.g., age, subgroup, and ethnicity) and the location of the site.
The Watts Healthcare Corporation is a non-profit organization, is where the Diabetes Education Program will be initiated. It is community based clinic that provides health services to low-income families in the community.

Health and Wellbeing Group Programs
Greater Metro South Brisbane Medicare Local (GMSBML) offers five free health and wellbeing
group programs for patients in the community across the Greater Metro South Brisbane region.
There are three Chronic Disease Self-Management Programs and two Healthy Lifestyle Programs
available.
Chronic Disease Self-Management Programs
1. Better Health for Life (BHFL)
2. Diabetes Self-Management Program (DSMP)
3. Pain Self-Management Program (PSMP)
2. Above: Pain Self-Management Program,
November 2014, Wynnum.
GMSBML’s chronic disease group programs are developed by the Stanford Patient Education Research Center, part of
the Department of Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine, California, USA. Whilst participating in the
group programs, participants receive 6–10 weeks of support for behaviour change, in addition to being connected with
other services available in the local community. GMSBML’s healthy lifestyle programs have been adapted from Lighten
Up and Living Strong programs developed by Queensland Health.
Testimonials
• I have found your program to be life changing and
I’m feeling great within myself. Thank you.
• I have been able to look at my problems with a
different view. I did not realise how much I could
do to help myself until I was shown.

All of the programs are designed to help people gain self-confidence
in their ability to control their symptoms, better manage their health
problems and lead fuller lives.
3. Health of Queenslanders
Recent statistics in Queensland showed that in 2011 –
2012 non-communicable diseases accounted for 83% of
hospitalisations with an estimated cost of $12,645 million
(State of Queensland, Queensland Health, 2014).
By teaching people to better self-manage their condition/s
and lead a healthier lifestyle this will help to lessen the
burden on the hospital system with preventable hospital
admissions.
The health of Queenslanders 2014 report also highlighted
that two in three adults in Queensland are either overweight
or obese (Queensland Health 2014).
Offering Healthy Lifestyle Programs in the community aims
to educate people to maintain a healthy weight, follow the
Australian Physical Activity Guidelines and manage obstacles
that prevent us from reaching our goals. If this is achievable,
participants may find that they can prevent or delay the
onset of chronic diseases.

• After completion of the program I have more confidence in myself and my ability. I have
learnt to accept my condition and that I can do something about it!
• I was sort of in denial when I first started and couldn’t understand why my blood sugar level
was always so high. You taught me a whole new way of living.
• I found it extremely informative. The staff were excellent. I felt that not only were they
friendly but very good. I have learnt a lot from them.
• I have had type 1 diabetes for over 60 years and your talk on healthy eating has achieved
wonders as I now eat vegetables and have cut down on my meat intake which dietitians have
never been able to convince me of doing.
Chronic Disease Self-Management
Programs
Participants (169) that completed the chronic disease group programs were asked to complete a short survey during
their first session and their last session to monitor improvements. There have been great results, showing reduced pain

Testimonials from our reunion
• I find these reunions very rewarding. The advice,
the reinforcement of what we’ve already heard,
meeting up with fellow sufferers/attendees. All
have a positive effect on my thinking and on my
commitment to continue trying to improve my
health and lifestyle. Thank you!
• Long live Medicare Local. It certainly has
assisted me to understand my chronic
conditions and to make life less painful and
more active. Thank you for a most interesting
day.
• As well as being very informative, the program I
have done plus this reunion has been wonderful
for my emotional health and wellbeing by being
social and interacting with others.
• I have completed the DSMP and must say I am
glad I did. Before attending I had no idea just
how serious this condition is. The course was so
well delivered it allowed you to fully understand
what I needed to know. I believe everyone who
has diabetes should have to attend. It has
totally changed my way of living and I know I
will benefit into the future.
