Are You Fat? Poetry Collection Embraces Beauty of Plus-Sized Women

Poughkeepsie, N.Y. (PRWEB) September 16, 2006

Though a huge number of Americans are overweight, a social stigma remains for big women. Poet Phil Moore seeks to remove this stigma with his collection of poems, Are You Fat? (Now available through AuthorHouse).

Written to inspire and uplift plus-size women, Moore’s poetry reminds big women that they are “beautiful, sexy, fantastic, attractive and terrific human beings!” The poems are also aimed at men who deny their preference for plus-sized women or have yet to see the beauty in them. Moore’s message is clear: women should be proud of their bodies, and men should be proud to love women, no matter their size.

“Plus-size women need to know they are just as beautiful, sexy and desirable as thin women,” he says. “There are a lot of men who admire the plus-size woman, and they need to know that there is no shame in being attracted to or being in love with a fat lady. Society needs to know that the way they have been treating and discriminating against fat people is wrong, causes a lot of emotional pain and is unacceptable.

The poem, “Your Fatness,” highlights all of the positive attributes of big women:

Your fatness is a beauty to behold./ Your fatness gives you strength untold./ Your fatness is heavenly and divine./ Your fatness makes you one of a kind./ Your fatness is adorable./ Your fatness makes you incomparable./ Your fatness is so soft to the touch./ Your fatness means you’ve been through so much./ Your fatness helps to make you strong./ Your fatness helps you to persevere long./ Your fatness is a gift from God above./ Your fatness makes you sexy and a joy to love. / Your fatness is to be appreciated./ Your fatness can not be abbreviated./ Your fatness is your energy./ Your fatness, use it positively./ Your fatness is your motivation./ Your fatness heightens your imagination./ Your fatness is not a stumbling block./ Your fatness is your life’s building rock./ Your fatness is not an embarrassment./ Your fatness is your passion for accomplishment./ Your fatness is not an obstacle in life’s course./ Your fatness is your overcoming force./ Your fatness is not a curse in a big size./ Your fatness is a blessing in disguise.

Moore was raised in Brooklyn, N.Y., after his family immigrated there from the West Indies. Raised with a strong Christian background, he was able to overcome the problems that plague many inner-city kids. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from City College of New York. As a software engineer, he gained experience in technical writing and also wrote for the company newsletter. Attracted to plus-sized women from a young age, Moore was afraid to embrace his attraction due to social stigmas. He finally accepted the sexiness of big women, and met his beautiful plus-size wife. He calls her the “love and joy of his life.” Are You Fat? is his first book. More information is available at http://www.areyoufatbook.com.

Fat Grafting Provides Permanent, Natural Looking Results – Dr. Michael Law Explains Fat Injections as a New Trend in Facial Plastic Surgery

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) July 23, 2008

Dr. Michael Law, a board certified plastic surgeon in Raleigh, North Carolina, sees patients from all parts of the world seeking natural looking plastic surgery. “Fat grafting has changed the results of facial plastic surgery dramatically. Traditional facelifts simply do not provide the natural result of microfat grafting,” says Dr. Law.

Fat grafting has been performed by plastic surgeons for decades. There is no question that fat is the ideal material for soft tissue augmentation, and expertly administered fat grafting provides natural looking result. However, one problem with this procedure in years past has been resorption (breakdown) of the grafted fat, so that the resulting improvement is not permanent. The grafted fat must gain its own blood supply in its new location in order to persist long-term, and this generally is not possible when large amounts are injected at once and when specialized instrumentation and techniques are not employed.

A relatively new technique has been developed called structural fat grafting, lipostructure, or microfat grafting, in which small amounts (less than 0.1 cc at a time) of fat are carefully microinjected in a series of discrete layers to gradually ‘build’ new soft tissue structure. As there is space between each microinjection, new blood vessels are able to grow into the grafted fat, allowing it to persist.

This is a procedure that requires specialized training and specialized surgical instruments, as well as patience and attention to detail on the part of the surgeon. When lipostructure or microfat grafting is performed properly, permanent improvements in facial plastic surgery are possible.

Structural fat grafting can be performed on eyelid hollows, to fill sunken cheeks, for filling sunken tear troughs under the eyes and is often used for blepharoplasty correction when too much skin and or fat has been removed in an eyelid surgical procedure. Some people who have experienced fat loss as a result of procedures such as IPL or Thermage can also benefit greatly from permanent fat injections.

For more information about natural looking facial rejuvenation please contact Michael Law MD Aesthetic Plastic Surgery at (919) 256-0900 or visit http://www.michaellawmd.com .

There’s a New Way to Lose Weight in Malvern, PA: Ideal Protein Weight Loss Program Now Offered at Fieldhouse Wellness

610-981-6400

Malvern, PA (PRWEB) March 9, 2011

Ideal Protein Weight Loss Program is now available at Fieldhouse Wellness in Malvern, PA. This fast weight loss program is a medically designed protocol that results in fat loss while sparing muscle mass. The protocol was developed in France over 20 years ago by Dr. Tran Tien Chanh, MD PhD, who focused his career and research on nutrition with a particular emphasis on the treatment of obesity and obesity related issues.

The Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method is a 4-phase protocol which helps stabilize the pancreas and blood sugar levels while burning fat and maintaining muscle and other lean tissue. This protocol is also an excellent support for cellulite reduction and has been used in well over one thousand Medi-spas and aesthetical clinics in North America over the last eight years with great success.

The FDA approved labeled products are only available through trained and certified Health Professionals. Each Ideal Protein establishment has one or more experts to guide the dieter through the program. This valuable process serves to educate and encourage the dieters with a consistent method that is scientifically proven and deemed by most as easy to execute and maintain.

Principles Behind the Protocol:

Learn to live off of the body’s own fat reserves. The body employs energy from three reserves: glycogen (carbohydrate), protein and fats. First from its simple and complex carbohydrate reserves and when depleted, turns simultaneously to its protein and fat reserves for energy.

A person not in need of weight loss typically has approximately 1-2% of their body’s reserves from carbs, approximately 19% from their muscle mass and 79% of their body reserves from fat.

Simple and complex carbohydrates can prevent weight loss. The body stores approximately three days worth of carbohydrates. Because of this, the Ideal Protein Weight Loss Method has a beginning and an end. Until 100% of the weight loss goal is achieved, we restrict sugars (simple and complex). Why? Because, as long as sugar is being consumed, the body is not burning fat. It’s as simple as that. Remember, the first source of energy is derived from glycogen (carbohydrate) reserves. The main principle is to deplete the glycogen (carbohydrate) reserves completely in order to compel the body to turn to its fat reserve to burn calories.

How do we get the body to burn its fat reserves and not its muscle mass reserves, if both are depleted simultaneously?

First, by providing the body with foods that have a high protein value, complete with 8 essential amino acids, 97% absorbable, which make them biologically-complete proteins.

Second, by supplementing with nutrient-rich supplements such as Natura Multi-Vita, Natura Calcium & Magnesium and Natura Potassium, key ingredient in muscle building and electrolytes to replace those normally found in foods restricted on the Ideal Protein protocol. A dieter will feel energized, look vibrant and feel strong. It is no wonder. Given the opportunity for the body’s natural ability to heal itself and showcase its innate and ingenious powers, such as in the way during the protocol the body will return the favor with unparalleled force, radiance and beauty.

The Ideal Protein Food Selections

The centerpiece of our protocol is our gourmet protein based foods which the dieter will consume during the weight loss phases of the program.

These are high biological value proteins and employ five different proteins: whey isolates, soy isolates, whole milk protein, albumin, and hydrolyzed collagen. This gives the client many options and is designed so people with sensitivities to dairy, soy or vegetarians may participate in the program. They are delicious, practical, satisfying and are available in an array of textures and flavors. The assortment includes foods that are crunchy, chewy, hearty, smooth, sweet, spicy and salty. They can be served hot, warm, cold or even frozen. The client will use these products to build complete meals, adding vegetables and salads. Each sealed envelope ensures full potency and contains up to 20 grams of protein with very little to no fat or sugar. These are easy to prepare and can be incorporated into a busy lifestyle very nicely.

What to Expect

On average, women lose weight at the rate of 3 to 4 pounds per week, and men lose 4 to 7 pounds per week.

Based on over 20 years of experience and 5 million people in Europe & North America, the Ideal Weight Loss Method enables the following:

Quick weight loss without sacrificing muscle mass
An understanding of how food affects and is utilized by the body, including what causes fat storage
Utilization of fat for energy usually by day 4 — fat (including cellulite) that sequesters chemical toxins
Improved energy and appetite control, reduced cravings — usually on day 4 or 5
Improved blood sugar and cholesterol levels, reduced blood pressure

Using a Body Fat Monitor – The way to effective weight loss

(PRWEB) September 23, 2004 -

The most effective weight loss programmes can be measured by the amount of fat lost, this is usually determined as a percentage of body fat a person is carrying in proportion to their actual weight.

The most effective and by far the most accurate way to measure your body fat percentage is to use a body fat monitor. If you are serious about weight loss then a good body fat monitor is essential and will measure your body fat to within 0.1% of the actual total.

When someone says they want to lose weight, what they actually mean is they want to lose body fat; of course every human needs a certain amount of fat as it is essential for correct bodily function. Fat regulates body temperature, cushions and insulates organs and tissues and is the main form of the body’s energy storage. However, too much body fat, especially visceral fat around the major organs, can cause wide spread problems such as heart disease, diabetes and strokes.

It is also a fact that women do carry more body fat than men; this is natural and means that a woman’s body naturally has a higher percentage of body fat than the body of a man. The percentage of essential body fat in a typical women’s body is between 10-12% whereas a man’s body contains only around between 2-4%.

Including our essential fat it is considered acceptable to have a total body fat content of between 25-31% for a woman and between 18-25% for a man. Anything above these figures and you would be considered to be both obese and having too much total body fat given the overall composition of your body.

When undertaking a weight loss programme it is important to monitor body fat as this is a realistic indicator of your progress and if the diet is working for you. Remember, weight loss doesn’t always mean fat loss, yet fat loss should be the main aim of any weight loss or healthy diet regime. Many people often make the mistake of setting themselves impossible goals when they embark on a weight loss programme and lean body mass is not taken into consideration when setting yourself an ideal target weight.

By using a body fat monitor you can assess your exact requirements and achieve realistic goals. Judging exactly how much body fat you need to lose rather than how much weight is vital and this will lead to the maintenance of essential lean body mass which usually means calorie-burning muscle.

The market leader in body fat monitors is Tanita, through a great understanding of technology and years of extensive research Tanita have created a superb range of body fat monitors and full body composition monitors that will help you to achieve your ideal body fat ratio. Both easy to use and accurate a Tanita Body Fat Monitor should be an essential part of your weight loss programme and can play a vital role in any healthy lifestyle change.

The Tanita Body Fat Monitor uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, which involves sending a very low electrical signal through the body. Tanita uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis to make an indirect measurement of body composition. A safe electrical signal (50Khz, 800µA) is sent through the body via the patented pressure-contact footpads on the body fat monitor platform.

The only direct measurements that Tanita Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis makes are weight and impedance, all other values such as % body fat, Fat Free Mass, etc., are calculated. Impedance is measured in Ohms and can be defined as the strength and speed of an electrical signal travelling through the body.

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis is based on the fact that lean muscle tissue contains high levels of water and electrolytes, and therefore acts as a conductor of an electrical signal. Fat mass is comparatively anhydrous and acts as a resistor to the flow of an electrical signal. Increasing levels of fat mass result in a higher impedance value, and correspond to higher levels of body fat.

Tanita are at the forefront of the technological advancement of body composition monitors and their commitment to the end user has lead to many advanced features appearing on selected models. Along with body fat they also include calculations of your muscle mass, body water, basal metabolic rate, visceral fat rating and bone weight.

Ranging from the stylish and simple to use BF-574 Body Fat Monitor through to the new range of advanced Innerscan Body Composition Monitors, the BC-531 and BC-532, Tanita have catered for your every body composition need and with a range of prices to suit every budget.
