1 Track 2: Topic From Wanting to Winning PowerPoint Notes Slide 1 Today s topic is: From Wanting to Winning. In America and around the world, there is a war going on a war against obesity. In the U.S., two thirds of adults and almost one half of children and teens are packing on unhealthy pounds becoming overweight or obese. As a result, we are experiencing massive health casualties. Slide 2 The casualties come in the form of obesity-related problems such as heart disease, certain cancers, diabetes, chronic pain, and memory problems. The casualties also come from failed weight loss schemes with a loss of money, courage, and hope. Today we are going to discuss Best Weight Basics. Are you ready for education, inspiration and a plan that will carry you through to win your war against overweight? Slide 3 Many of our lifestyle habits are formed during early childhood. Because of the lifestyle habits of Americans, deadly chronic diseases are developing during childhood years. Slide 4 These are just a few: Children with certain of these obesity-related conditions often experience numerous disabilities, reduced quality of life, and shortened lifespan.

2 Slide 5 Slide information: Today, two-thirds of the adult US population are overweight or obese; 127 million Americans are overweight, and 60 million are obese. An estimated 9 million of those are considered morbidly obese, that is, more than 100 lbs. overweight. Morbid obesity is growing three times faster than any other category of obesity. Source: webmd.com/diet/news/ /morbid-obesity-bulge-gets-bigger Slide 6 The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a mathematical formula that factors a person s height and weight in determining obesity. Here is the basic breakdown of excess weight categories: All of these categories carry increased risk of impaired brain health, dementia, depression, disability, and chronic disease. The higher your BMI, the greater your risk for multiple conditions. Slide 7 Another and perhaps easier way to evaluate the risk of disease is waist size which indicates mid-body fat. According to the NIH (National Institutes of Health), for best health and lowest disease risk, waist circumference should be less than 37 inches in men. A waist circumference of more than 40 inches indicates high risk. Less than 32 inches in women. A waist circumference of more than 35 inches indicates high risk. Slide 8 These CDC (Centers for Disease Control) health survey maps reveal the obesity trends that have been developing over the years. The darker the color, the greater incidence of obesity in a given state. (The numbers in the key show the incidence in percentages) Cycle through the next 6 slides to show the increases nationwide by the year noted at the top. (The Acronym BRFSS stands for Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System)

3 Slide 9 Notice the rapid increase in statewide obesity Slide 10 Notice greater incidence of obesity in the eastern portion of the U.S. now appears (dark blue). The western states are also trending up. Slide 11 A greater incidence of obesity shows up again by the year 2000 (greater than or equal to 20%, shown in yellow). Slide 12 By 2005, we see three new categories of obesity. Some states top 30% in their obesity rates.

4 Slide 13 The latest data is from 2011, with rapid trends upward in obesity rates. Maybe we all need quadruple bypass: we need to bypass fast foods; bypass junk food; bypass sugary drinks; and bypass fried food! Slide 14 The battle against unhealthy choices takes place on several major fronts: Slide 15 First, Slide 16 Environment is a primary factor in weight gain. Studies show that when people move from other parts of the world to a Western culture, they gain weight. We want food that is quick and easy. And we eat what is put in front of us regardless of the portion size.

5 Slide 17 Snacks are available anytime, anywhere, and for any reason. A constant supply of fast, cheap, easy foods has created a see food society: We see food, and we eat it! We rarely take time to sit down and enjoy meals because we eat and drink all day long. Couple that with crammed schedules and a little or no exercise and the battle rages. Slide 18 Food manufacturers are waging their own war for your appetite, your dollars and your loyalty. Billions of dollars are spend on processed foods that are made and marketed to appeal to your senses, not your health. They can be highly addictive and hard to resist or even avoid. Slide 19 Here is an example of a strawberry shake from a fast food restaurant. Just show the slide, do not read This shake is truly a wonder food it s a wonder that there isn t a single strawberry in it! Slide 20 Second, The choices you make when eating are reflected in the culture around you, including your friends, family, traditions, events, and media. When you decide to change your way of eating, it may feel awkward at first.

6 Slide 21 The people around you may make negative comments or even tease you. What attitude will you adopt as you experience a learning curve with your new choices? Know that you are making the best choices for you. Slide 22 Human interactions are very important when it comes to eating. Studies show that the more people you eat with, the more food you consume. The more choices at your table, the more you eat. Slide 23 Third, The battle of biology doesn t just happen in overweight people. Normal weight individuals who eat a lot of junk food and do not exercise often develop these same shifts in biology. (notice the lab report) Slide 24 It s not just what the scales show, it is the percent of fat to muscle that makes a big different.

7 Slide 25 The biggest source of added sugar in the diet of Americans is sweetened drinks. 1. Hi fructose corn syrup in large amounts damages the liver and builds fat in the body. 2. Sweetened drinks turn on signals that increase hunger. 3. Artificially sweetened drinks have the same effect. People who use them eat more calories. Slide 26 The substances listed below are only a few of the compounds that are extremely sensitive to: 1. the kind of food we eat; 2. how much we exercise; and 3. how much body fat we carry. Note: CCK: Cholecystokinin Slide 27 Extreme low calorie diets deprive your organs of needed fuel. Diets with an imbalance of fat, protein, and unrefined carbohydrates leave you feeling fatigued and moody. Slide 28 Fourth,

8 Slide 29 A balanced approach to eating and exercise repairs the brain as well as the body. A healthy brain and stable emotions are the keys to long-term success. Slide 30 Highly flavored sweet and fatty refined foods have addictive properties: Obesity researcher Charles Billington says: Slide 31 You can unlearn what you have learned, even habits ingrained from childhood! Slide 32 Mark Gold of the McKnight Brain Institute says: Hedonic means highly pleasurable

9 Slide 33 Thankfully, God is more powerful that the strongest addiction. With His power and plan, and your cooperation, you can overcome any food addiction. Slide 34 The best diet is NOT the one that makes you lose weight quickly; it is the one that builds your brain! Slide 35 Have you ever tried to get gum out of a carpet? You don t need to be eating foods that do something similar to your brain! Slide 36 With so much to confront, it really possible to resist environmental cues? You can win the battle of environment. Remember: (Discuss creative ideas; solicit input. )

10 Slide 37 (Discuss creative ideas; solicit input. ) Slide 38 (Discuss creative ideas; solicit input. ) Slide 39 (Discuss creative ideas; solicit input. ) Slide 40 Your body wants carbs. Carbohydrates are the major fuel source for cells. Fight refined carbs with unrefined carbs to satisfy carbohydrate cravings. (Discuss creative ideas; solicit input. )

11 Slide 41 What are some creative ways to include more plant foods in your: Breakfast Lunch Dinner What are some creative ways to include more plant foods in your: Breakfast Slide 42 Lunch With so many family and social events, it really possible to resist cultural pressure? Dinner You can win the battle of culture. With so many family and social events, it really possible to resist cultural pressure? You can win the ba8le of culture. 41 Slide 43 What are ways that you can make positive choices at social events? Examples: Focus on eating slowly; eat until 80% full; cover your plate with a napkin; focus on visiting, not eating; bring healthy choices; look away from tempting foods. 42 What are ways that you can make positive choices at social events?

12 Slide 45 Other ideas? Slide 46 With so many complex biological shifts, it really possible to improve biologic function? You can develop a healthier biology. Slide 47 You can make a good guess on how many calories you need by following this simple formula. Slide 48 Example: A 180 lb. woman maintains her weight at 2160 cal/day. She loses weight at 1800 cal/day. At 150 lbs. she maintains her weight at 1800 cal/day. She loses weight at 1500 cal/day. Remember; These figures are estimates based on low levels of activity.

13 Slide 49 Always check with your doctor before starting an exercise program. Total body workouts; alternating short bursts of intense exercise with a slower pace; strength training; and regular daily daily exercise: Keep an exercise journal Increase exercise to at least one hour a day or 10,000 steps/ day (2,000 is one mile) Slide 50 Building and maintaining good muscle tone is the best way to increase the number of calories your body burns at rest. It also increases strength, balance, and overall energy levels. Source: Slide 51 Processed foods are engineered to make you crave them. You can be successful in winning the Battle for your Brain. Don t let marketing schemes suck you into their web. You can make positive choices. The more times you make positive choices the easier it gets. Slide 52 Over time, healthy choices combined with exercise work in the brain to dampen strong food memories and cravings. Over time, you can learn to prefer the satisfying balance, variety, and flavor that whole foods provide.

14 Slide 53 That s great news! Slide 54 Slide 55 Beans; vegetables; fruit; whole grains, and nuts are premium fuel for your brain and body. Slide 56 Omega 3 fats: walnuts; ground flax seed; canola and soy oil. Monounsaturated fats: avocado; olives; olive oil; nuts; seeds.

15 Slide 57 Get up from the table when you are almost full, but not quite. Slide 58 Ben Franklin said: Slide 59 He also said: Slide 60 Desire cannot get you to your destination only determination can take you there.

16 Slide 61 Finally, and most importantly, Slide 62 God has won the war against the enemy. He also has the power to help you win the war of addictions in your life. Slide 63 Slide 64 Dolly Dimples was an example of turning desire into determination. In the 1950 s Dolly was known as:

17 Slide 65 Dolly s life-long obsession with food was like an artist s obsession with paint. It was the defining passion of her life. On an average day, she consumed 10,000 calories. Slide 66 Slide 67 Then dolly had a wake-up call: Slide 68

18 Slide 69 With determination, patience, and prayer: Slide 70 If there is any downside to this story, it is that she lost her job as a circus fat lady. Do you think she cared? (pause) I don t either! Slide 71 We have an unseen foe to fight. We can see the results of his work in disease, destruction, addiction, misery, and violence all over this planet. Slide 72 God has won the war against the enemy. He also has the power to help you win the war of addictions in your life.

19 Slide 73 Would you like to say: Thank you, God, for the power to deliver me from the stronghold of bad habits. Give me power to make the right choices each day. I choose to live with Your power and Your guidance in my life.
