What is it about people's attitude toward "dieting" that is so absolutely negative? How do we get into this mental state where we accept our overweight condition? Why is it that we have such a difficult time addressing our unhealthy lifestyle?Well, the answer is rather simple. Going on a diet is difficult. It ain't fun ! It is not an enjoyable experience. We don't want to spend hours in a gym. We don't want to eat the special microwave meals that we have to buy or that are delivered to our front door. We don't want to be required to use a calculator to determine if we can or cannot have any particular item for a snack.We enjoy our current lifestyle. We don't want to change the way we live or stop eating the things we love. And therefore, we determine that dieting is "not for me." We think, I'm not about to undergo some miserable experience to lose weight . My happiness is important. It's definitely more important than shedding some pounds.If dieting were fun, we'd all be skinny as a rail. But we all realize, or at least we should realize, that being overweight is unhealthy. Many of us realize that we really should address this issue. But we think, I just don't want to go through the whole dieting thing. It's hard ... it's difficult ... it's not fun. And many of us have tried dieting. And it either didn't work for whatever reason, or the weight came right back.What if I told you of a way to lose weight where you don't have to stop eating the things you love. And you don't have to join a gym and go on some exercise regimen. What if I told you that I know of a way to enjoy the experience.

The primary purpose of fitness and body composition standards in the U.S. Armed Forces has always been to select individuals best suited to the physical demands of military service, based on the assumption that proper body weight and composition supports good health, physical fitness, and appropriate military appearance. The current epidemic of overweight and obesity in the United States affects the military services. The pool of available recruits is reduced because of failure to meet body composition standards for entry into the services and a high percentage of individuals exceeding military weight-for-height standards at the time of entry into the service leave the military before completing their term of enlistment. To aid in developing strategies for prevention and remediation of overweight in military personnel, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command requested the Committee on Military Nutrition Research to review the scientific evidence for: factors that influence body weight, optimal components of a weight loss and weight maintenance program, and the role of gender, age, and ethnicity in weight management.
