...How to Achieve Weight Loss Losing weight is a battle that most people have struggled with at some point in their lives. Weight loss is not only a physical process, but a mental process as well. Most people lack the motivation to start a diet and exercise plan and stick to it. That is the number one reason why people do not succeed when they try to lose weight. In order to successfully achieve weight loss people should begin by making a commitment to themselves, changing their diet, and become more physically active. The first step in achieving weight loss should begin with people making a commitment to themselves. This is a very important step when trying to lose weight. People should lose weight because they want too, not because they are trying to please or impress someone else. Being overweight does not only affect people’s health, but their self image as well. They must motivate themselves and set realistic goals that are obtainable. When they meet these goals they should reward themselves with that new shirt, new pair of shoes, or that new hairstyle they have been wanting. They should stay focused and understand that losing weight is not easy for anyone. There will be times that goals are not met and that should be an incentive for them to push themselves harder. The second step in achieving weight loss should involve people changing their diet. This is probably the most challenging step in the weight loss process. Counting calories has proven to be one of the most...

...August 8, 2013 COM 155 Dieting vs. Exercise: The trip to weight loss success While losing weight from dieting and exercise have distinct differences, the similarities make using both more effective in the weight loss process. Many people take the easier route, which they believe is dieting. The statistics for the long term success of dieting alone is poor so you need to consider dieting and exercise. Statistics say only about 5% of dieters are successful in keeping weight off, and re-gain is very common. Usually one-third of weight lost is regained within one year. In three to five years all the weight has been regained along with some additional weight. If you start exercising to lose weight, you won’t succeed with the mentality of “I can eat anything because I’ll burn it off later.” You will have better results if you choose a healthy diet of whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats while exercising. Healthy dieting can be effective for losing weight and keeping it off. One beneficial way to achieve this is through a diet that minimizes starches, sugars and animal fats from meat and dairy. The fact is, losing weight is time consuming. If you want to lose weight quickly, the approach is simple. Minimizing your sugar intake as well as starches is the first step. Sugar is addictive, highly fattening and is a leading cause of obesity and cardiovascular disease. While most of us on a weight loss mission concentrate on lowering fats, many of us fail to...

...Prescription weight loss pills Amy Kelley COM/155 June 16, 2013 Jessica Ptomey Eating healthy vs. Prescription weight loss pills The World Health Organization estimates that nearly two-thirds of all American adults are overweight. The National Center of Health Statistics recently found that 34% of Americans are clinically obese (10 Weight Loss Statistics, 2013). Those are very shocking statistics to hear about our nation. What we do with that information is up to us. We can accept the weight that we have as a nation or chose to lose it. Eating healthy and exercise are important for losing weight but there are some advantages and disadvantages to prescription weight loss pills. Here are some facts that can help you make the choice. Proteins are nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy. Protein is recommended at the absolute minimum of ½-gram per pound of bodyweight per day for people who do not get exercise and 1 full gram of protein per pound of bodyweight for people who are active in any way (How much protein do you really need to eat every day?). But do not forget about the b\vegetables. Vegetables, also, play an important role in losing weight. Put out a vegetable platter. A body of research out of Pennsylvania State University finds that eating water-rich foods such as zucchini, tomatoes, and cucumbers during meals reduces your overall calorie consumption (Easy ways to lose weight: 50+ ideas, 2013).

...WEIGHT LOSS ISSUES Excessive weight has become one of the major issues in today's world. This leads to all sorts of health riskssuch as coronary heart diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes, sleep apnea and many more. Furthermore, a research has shown that death rates from cancer were 52% higher in men and 62 % higher in women with excessive weight than in people with normal weight (Eugenia E. Calle 2003). A large proportion of overweight people have been trying to lose their weight in every possible way. However, not every attempt was successful. Due to that, the pharmaceutical industry has been developing and testing a large variety of medicines that are specifically made to help people with weight issues. One of the newest drugs on the market is Metabical, a prescription drug developed by Cambridge Sciences Pharmaceuticals (CSP). Based on the results from clinical trials, Metabical has been proven effective for weight loss of overweight people. The question is how willMetabicalbe introduced to the market? PULL MARKETING The main idea was to advertise Metabical directly to consumers in order to increase the awareness of the product. This strategy was based on pull marketing where the purpose was to attract the customers and make them approach the supplier or seller first. It is not an assertive way of marketing in comparison to push marketing where a seller calls potential customers on the telephone asking whether they would like to purchase a product they might not actually...

QUELCH HEATHER BECKHAM Metabical: Positioning and Communications Strategy for a New Weight-Loss Drug “I have tried countless diets and every new weight-loss pill that has come on the market. Nothing seems to take off those extra pounds. With diets, I am miserable because I am starving all the time, and none of the weight-loss pills seem to work. I might lose a couple pounds, but I never reach my weightloss goals and I usually end up gaining more back. I would give anything to lose this extra 20 pounds, so that I can live a longer, happier life.” — Tamara Jinkens: focus group participant, age 42 Barbara Printup, senior director of marketing for Cambridge Sciences Pharmaceuticals (CSP), listened as overweight focus group participants recounted their lifelong struggles with weight loss. Printup had just been placed in charge of the upcoming U.S. product launch of CSP’s newest prescription drug, Metabical (pronounced Meh-tuh-bye-cal).
