Weight Management
Overweight
and
Underweight
Objectives of Chapter 9
• Identify how fat cells develop
• Identify causes of overweight and obesity
• Health risks associated with overweight
and obesity
• Aggressive treatments of obesity
• Weight loss strategies
Fat Cell Development
• Hyperplastic obesity
– Increase in number of fat cells
• Hypertrophic obesity
– Increase in size of fat cells
• Lipotoxicity
– Accumulation of fat in non adipose tissue. For
example, heart or liver increase risk of heart
failure and fatty liver
Fat Cell Development
Fat Cell Metabolism
• Lipoprotein lipase (LPL)
– Promotes fat stores
– Activity of LPL increase in obese people than
lean people
– LPL activity is different among male and female
– Fat breakdown is slower in women than men
– Release of fat in various body parts is different
for both sexes
– LPL activities increase after weight loss
contributing to more weight gain and “set point
theory”
Fat Cell Metabolism
• “Set point” (your internal thermostat)
– theory holds that body opposes weight loss
and works to maintain a set weight
– Provide an explanation that some inner
mechanism seems to set a person’s weight or
body composition at a fixed point.
– The body readjust after a weight loss to
restore that set point.
Prevalence of Obesity Among U.S.
Adults (BMI > 30)
• 1991: Only 4 states had obesity rates greater than
15%
• 1995: Over ½ of the states had obesity rates greater
than 15%
• 2000: Only 1 state had an obesity rate below 15%,
most had obesity rates greater than 20%, and one had
obesity rate greater than 25%
• 2005: All states have at least 15% obesity rate, only 4
states has obesity rate < 20%, 1/3rd of the states have
obesity rate > 25%, 3 states have rates > 30%

Overweight
• Overweight (BMI 25-29.9) and obesity (≥
30) are widespread health problems that
are continuing to increase.
• Many refer to overweight and obesity as
an epidemic.
• For good health, weight management is
important.

What Factors Are Likely to
Affect Body Weight?
What and how often you eat,
• Hunger and appetite affect what you eat.
– Appetite is psychological desire for food
– Hunger is physiological need for food,
subsides as feeling of satiation sets in
• Satiety determines length of time between eating
episodes
• environment
What Factors Are Likely to Affect
Body Weight?
Physiological feedback mechanisms
•
involving mouth, stomach, intestines, and brain increase or
decrease hunger
– Many hormones play role:
• Ghrelin:
–
–
–
–
•
produced in stomach
increases hunger and appetite
positive energy balance
High in obese people as well as people with eating disorder
Leptin:
– in fat tissue signals brain to decrease hunger and food intake.
– Promote negative energy balance
– May be deficient or defective in obese individuals, but very rare
•
Cholecystokinin: released when stomach is distended,
increasing feelings of satiation, decreasing hunger
What Factors Are Likely to
Affect Body Weight?
• Genetics play a role in determining body weight
– Risk of becoming obese doubles if parents are
overweight, triples if obese, five times greater if
severely obese
• Genetic differences in level or function of
hormones, such as high ghrelin or low leptin
levels, increase obesity.
– Many obese have adequate leptin but brain has
developed resistance to it
What Factors Are Likely to
Affect Body Weight?
Environmental factors can increase appetite and
decrease physical activity.
• cheap and easily obtainable energy-dense foods
stimulate appetite
• We work more and cook less.
• About 1/3 calories come from ready-to-eat foods
prepared outside of home
• Frequent dining out associated with higher BMI
• Inadequate physical activities
• Americans eating about 300 calories/day more
than in 1985
What Is a Reasonable Rate of
Weight Loss?
• National Institutes of Health: overweight
individuals should aim to lose about 10%
of body weight over 6-month period
– Example: 180-lb person should lose 18
pounds/6 months = 3 lbs/month, ¾ lb/week
– To lose 1 lb of body fat, need 3,500 calorie
deficit
• Weight loss of ½-1 lb/week, need to decrease daily
calories by 250-500 calories
• Diet Meals video Overweight Children approach
to weight loss
Three Pieces of the Long-Term
Weight Loss Puzzle
How Can You Lose Weight
Healthfully?
Successful long-term weight loss requires
changes in three areas: diet, physical
activity, and behavior
– Eat smart, because calories count: add satiation
to low- calorie meals by including higher-volume
foods
• Eat more vegetables, fruit, and fiber
• Include some protein and fat in your meals
– Protein increases satiety most
– Fat slows movement of food from stomach into intestines
» Choose lean meat, skinless chicken, fish, nuts, and
unsaturated oils.
The Energy Density of Foods
Add high-volume fruits and
vegetables to displace higher
calorie foods.
The Volume of Food You Eat
How Can You Lose Weight
Healthfully?
Use MyPyramid as a weight-loss guide:
– High volume of fruits, vegetables, whole
grains, some lean protein, modest amounts of
fat
– Diet should contain variety of foods from all
food groups
• Replace higher-calorie foods with lower-calorie
options from each food group.
– Example: replace full-fat dairy with nonfat products
– Replace sodas with water
How Can You Lose Weight
Healthfully?
Move to lose
– 60 minutes/day of moderate-intensity activities can prevent
becoming overweight and aid in weight loss
•
10,000 steps/day can reduce risk of becoming overweight
– Spot Reducing
•
•
•
Regular aerobic exercise and weight loss will help trouble spots.
Strength training can improve muscle tone.
Stretching can help flexibility
– Exercise may help to curb appetite.
– Activity can reduce stress and improve self-esteem
•
Break bad habits
– Behavior modification: change behaviors that contribute to
weight gain or impede weight loss
Fad Diets Are the Latest Fad
•
•
•
Research shows that reduction of calories, not the
composition of the diet, is effective in weight loss.
People who adhere the longest to weight-loss diets lose
the most weight.
– High drop-out rates for most extreme diets (Atkins and
Ornish diets)
Beware of fad diet sensational claims and hype:
– “It’s the carbs, not calories, that make you fat!”
– Celebrity-endorsed miracle weight-loss products
– “Natural” substances help lose weight without risk
• How to get fat without really trying
What’s in the Fad Diets?
How Can You Maintain Weight
Loss?
•
•
•
Weight cycling is a common result of fad diets.
Weight loss can be maintained if keep healthy habits
used during weight loss
New, lower weight requires less calories to maintain
weight
– Physical activity can close the “energy gap”, easier
than further reducing caloric intake
– 60-90 minutes/day of moderate-intensity physical
activity recommended to maintain weight loss
Aggressive Treatments of Obesity
• bariatric surgery – Gastric bypass and gastric
banding
– Results in dramatic weight loss and reduction of
hypertension, diabetes, high blood cholesterol,
and sleep apnea
– Risks include ulcers, gallstone, bleeding in
stomach and intestines
– for individuals with clinically severe obesity and
major medical problems.
– Changing and improving eating and exercise
habits offer the greatest benefit.
Aggressive Treatments of Obesity
bariatric surgery
– Over 100,000 is performed annually and numbers
continue to grow
– Limit food intake by reducing the capacity of the
stomach
– To qualify, a person must be at least 100lbs over their
ideal body weight or BMI > 40
– Must comply with prescribed diet
– At risk of iron, b12, folate, calcium and vit D
deficiencies
– Infections, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration is a
very real possibility after surgery
– Lifelong medical supervision is necessary

Aggressive Treatments of Obesity
• Drugs
– Sibutramine (meridia) suppresses the appetite and is
most effective when used with a reduced kcalorie diet
and increased physical activity. There are many side
effects.
– Orlistat (Xenical) blocks fat digestion and absorption.
There are many side effects. You can now get a low
dose over the counter under the brand name, Alli.
– Other drugs are still under study
• Liposuction is a popular procedure that is
primarily cosmetic but poses risk. Provides no
health benefit
How Much Should you Weigh?
Ideal Body Weight (IBW)
• Men
– 106 pound for the first 5 feet, + 6 pounds for
every inch over 5 feet. For example, a man
who is 6’1” have IBW of 184 pounds
• Women
– 100 pound for the fist 5 feet, + 5 pounds for
every inch over 5 feet. For example, a
woman who is 4’11” have IBW of 95 pounds
