Dieting could be
dangerous if you
don’t know rules
By Lyneen Johnson
Reporter
Mexican diet pills, sleep-away re
medies, 500- and 800-calorie diets, a
three-day hot dog and egg diet, the
eat-whatever-you-want-as-much-as-
you-want diets. Sound familiar?
How about Nutrisystem, Weight
Watchers, stationary cycles, rowing
machines, running, exercise classes
and aerobic videos? With so many
ways to lose weight, how does any
one know which method to use?
Understanding the physiology of
the human body makes the decision
easier. This understanding could
come from enrollment in a college
physiology course or from an indi
vidual study of the human anatomy.
Most people cannot afford the
time or expense for such an educa
tion. Weeding through the available
literature can also be quite a chore.
Physiology and anatomy books and
those focusing on diet and exercise
techniques are available in any
bookstore, but like the numerous
methods, all are not legitimate refer
ences.
Important facts are often over
looked.
Did you know that exercise artifi
cially increases your metabolism for
up to 12 hours? The rate of increase
is not as much as during exercise, or
the first hour following, but it is in
creased.
Did you know that the average
person burns 1,200 calories a day
while resting? Low calorie diets can
be harmful to the body because they
do not provide enough nutrients to
keep it functioning at rest, not to
mention in an active state.
Fat is a substance found inside fat
cells. Number of fat cells in an indi
vidual’s body cannot be changed, but
the amount of fat within the cells
can.
People born to obese parents have
an 80 percent chance of being obese
(40 percent if only one parent is
obese).
Cardiovascular fitness and thin
ness are not synonymous. Skinny
and not-fat are not synonymous.
Body composition and cardiovascu
lar fitness are more important than
looking lean.
B. Sharkey, author of “Physiology
of Exercise,” a book used in many
college physiology classes, acknowl
edges the difficulty in deciphering
these truths from all the garbage
published and advertised. His book
focuses on the primary information
that everyone should know when de
signing a diet or exercise plan: basal
metabolism.
Like fingerprints, this is a charac
teristic that is completely individual
ized. However, like hair color, it can
be changed.
Basal metabolism is the number of
calories that the body burns when
awake but at rest; for instance if you
were to stay in bed all day but were
not asleep. By getting out of bed and
moving around, your metabolism is
automatically raised.
Increasing activity continues to in
crease the metabolism, thereby in
creasing the number of calories that
the body uses.
Age, weight, height and gender
also affect the metabolic rate. Dr.
Kenneth Cooper, author of numer
ous books and founder of the Aero
bics Center (a research institute for
cardiac rehabilitation and exercise
physiology in Dallas), includes all
these factors in his formula for me
tabolism.
Women can compute their basal
metabolism (BMR) using the follow
ing formula: 655 plus (4.36 times
weight) plus (4.5 times height in
inches) minus (4.7 times age).
Men should use a dif'ferenil
mula: 66 plus (6.23 times weii
plus (12.7 times height) minus
times age).
Included in Cooper’s formuli
an activity factor that allows fori
raising of metabolism duetoexeo
Activity levels vary from waif
(faster than a stroll) to any tyw
strenuous activity performed for
least 20 consecutive minutes. U
are determined as follows:
Activity ranges:
Light = 5-10 hours/week (,
moderate = 1 1-14 hours/week (j
heavy = 15-20 hours/week (l)i
very heavy = more than
hours/week (1.35).
To compute your approximate;
loric expenditure per dayyouj
you BMR and the appropriateatt
ity factor decimal and multiply by.
Use this number added to\
BMR plus the appropriate adi;
factor to determine your overall;
loric expenditure each day.
Sharkey’s method is less coinji
cated, less individualized andthei
fore, less accurate, but gives you;
estimate from which to establish
delines.
Sharkey includes increasesfon
rious activities. Bed rest is lOperct
above BMR. Reading or knittings
30 percent increase. Office work;
creases BMR 40-60 percent ttli
moderate housework increasesBkl
60-80 percent.
Diets allowing only 500-800a
ories negate these increases byaa
ing the body to slow downinant
fort to conserve energy.
Marketing prof
study shows
they’re ‘fun’
By Velia Velez
Reporter
Marketing professors exeni
lot of energy preparing and giv
ing their lectures, are extremel;
demanding of their students,and
are generally a lot of fun, accord
ing to a national survey.
The study was conducted bi
Dr. Jeffrey S. Conant and Dr
Denise T. Smart, both assistan:
professors of marketing at Tesi
A&M and Dr. Craig A. Kelly, as
sociate professor of marketingai
California State University at Sat
ramento.
It was conducted to find oit
the characteristics of goodteadi
ing specifically in marketing pro
lessors.
“The professors talk ate
going the extra distance for®
dents who have problems both®
and out of the class,” said Conant
project leader. “They are ablett
draw even the quietest students
into a conversation.”
Participating in the study wen
144 marketing professors at Kh
U.S. colleges and universities.
Conant said the respondent!
indicated that their student
thought they were good profo
sors, hut their classes were hard
demanding and challenging.
The study won the 1988 Mar
keting Association Summer Mat
keting Educators’ Confereiw
Best Paper Award in the Market
