...In this essay I will discuss the weight loss program put together for a friend to increase his or her chances of making the football team. In this program we will use operant conditioning to help the subject start to lose weight for his or her goal of making the football team. Operant conditioning is learning controlled by the consequences of the organism’s behavior. The reason operant conditioning is so effective is because of the law of effect. This states that if a stimulus followed by a behavior results in a reward, the stimulus is more likely to give rise to the behavior in the future. We will use reinforcement and a certain schedule of reinforcement to increase the behavior of eating healthy and working out to lose weight. While devising...

...people struggle with weight problems and find it close to impossible to shed pounds. Making realistic goals, cleaning up your nutrition, and daily exercise can make it easier to lose weight. While making goals it’s crucial to set a time period and to be realistic; don’t expect 50 pounds to be gone in one week. It’s also best to keep in mind to be specific on how much you wish to lose, measurable such in a scale or dress size, and attainable with their daily schedule kept in mind. Keeping a nutritious diet (such as fruits, vegetables, and unprocessed foods) will help better your body and help your body get rid of the extra unnecessary glucose, fatty acids and amino acids. Even with a nutritious diet one’s weight loss goals cannot be accomplished without some form of exercise that best fit the individual’s needs, for example walking or jogging, yard work (mowing, raking, digging), dancing, swimming, biking, climbing stairs or hills, or playing a sport like tennis or basketball. Together these three key steps will help you lose weight without losing your mind. Losing weight is similar to writing an essay; you have to start by planning it out. Make your goal attainable, specific, measurable, and set a specific date on which you’ll reach your goal. Start off by specifying your weight loss goal to ten pounds and the time period by which you’d want to have accomplished this such as in one month’s time. You have to prerequisite a daily schedule to plan out how to make this goal possible...

... EATING DISORDERS 2 Abstract We have all heard the typical stereotypes of the “perfect body.” Who has a perfect body and what does it look like? Are all girls supposed to be tiny and twig-like, and are all guys supposed to have washboard abs? No, and if this were true, that is how we all would have been created. According to the NEDA website (2014) “everyone is different, and that is what makes people interesting, if everyone were the same then we would have no individuality." It is important that the message of being your own person, to embrace your individualism and love who you are gets to young adults and teenagers. When the message does not get across there are serious consequences such as the development of eating disorders. This paper will review the types of eating disorders, history of the disorders, how they may be diagnosed, signs and symptoms and possible treatment options. EATING DISORDERS 3 “Eating disorders are psychological problems marked by an obsession with food and weight. There are four general categories of eating disorders these are; Anorexia nervosa, Binge eating, Bulimia nervosa and a category called (EDNOS) eating disorders not otherwise specified” (Eating disorders - In Depth Report - QualityHealth. (n.d.). These eating disorders affect individuals of various age groups, and it has become more popular among teenagers...

...way, every word, sentence, and paragraph in an essay must relate to or center on the thesis statement. A thesis statement concisely informs readers of your intention in writing the paper. No matter what type of paper you write—expository, argumentation, compare or contrast, or research—the center of your paper is always your thesis statement. From now through the rest of your academic career, instructors will expect your essays to contain a well-developed thesis. For this reason, it is important that you learn to write effective thesis statements. While writing your paper, you have a tentative or working thesis, which most likely changes as you find support and write your paper. You may write and rewrite a thesis several times while developing an essay. The concept of the thesis statement may be difficult for beginning writers to understand. The following are some characteristics of an effective thesis statement: • A thesis statement is only one sentence consisting of 25 words or fewer. • A thesis statement makes an assertion related to the topic of the essay—what you want to support. • The thesis statement should be located near the end of your introduction. The typical placement is as the last sentence of the introduction—this is where your readers will look for it. • Everything in your paper must support, be related to, or point back to your thesis statement. • A thesis statement answers the questions “How?” or “Why?” • A...

...about their health and ways to keep fit. You can tell by seeing how people act; they go the gym all the time, they eat less food and they might even take diet supplements to maintain a ‘healthy’ body. However, is that really what health is all about? Are people under some sort of misconception? When you are writing an argumentative essay in college, you should think of different topics related to health. It might be difficult to come up with some great topics, but here are a few to get you started: Should people take diet supplements as part of their diet? Diet supplements are supposed to be natural, but many manufacturers add artificial ingredients in it to enhance the effects of weight loss. However, this comes at the cost of the person’s health. Indeed, the person will lose more weight for sure, but his health will also deteriorate due to the ingredients. Do you think this is ethical? Should this be illegal? You have plenty of things to talk about in your essay! Is gym hurting or helping our body? People go to the gym all the time nowadays. Not that it’s bad, but are the effects really that useful? It is true that you are burning off more calories but that comes at the expense of your physical body as well. Your body is not meant to be working so hard and sooner or later, it will wear down. That’s going to take a toll on your body and it might not be ideal. What are your views? Express them in your essay. Should people stop taking fewer medicines and let our body...

...Are you always thinking to yourself how you need to lose weight? Did healthy eating and exercise come to your mind or was trying a diet pill what you thought about? Everyone wants to lose weight, but no one ever wants to lose weight the healthy way. People just want to find a quick and easy way to lose weight fast. Regardless of any harmful side effects that can result later down the road to their body. Metabolism disruption, dehydration, and addiction are just a few of some serious health problems that can occur. When people choose diet pills over healthy eating, they never consider those harmful effects on their body that can result from their quick fix. One harmful effect is Metabolism Disruption. Metabolism disruption is one of the possible dangers of taking weight-loss pills. Metabolism is the body's process of converting food and water to energy. Diet pills are made to suppress a person’s appetite, meaning you will not want to eat a lot. In doing that you will be limiting your calorie intake; as an end result, slowing your metabolism down. With fewer calories consumed, your metabolism slows down and becomes sluggish. This causes you to lose lesser and lesser weight over a period of time. It can also cause your body to go into starvation mode. When your body is in starvation mode, meaning you do not consume enough food to provide your body with the essential nutrients it needs daily, your body will slow your metabolism down to conserve energy. Slower metabolisms need less...
