Low Fat Diets, Aerobic Exercise, and Weight Loss: How Does It All Fit?
Introduction:
These days it seems that almost everywhere in the media there are claims about the effectiveness of low fat diets and aerobic exercise on weight loss. From billboards, to magazines, to TV, everyone seems to know exactly how to lose weight by eating a low fat diet and /or by exercising on a regular basis. Sample menus and hypothetical exercise routines that are designed to help people lose weight consistently appear in the media, and most come with some type of guarantee that weight loss will follow the "correct and continued use" of the plan. These claims and examples vary from seemingly practical to downright outrageous, with a multitude in between. The problem is that all of these claims and examples are so different from one another the consumer has no way to know which, if any, is the most effective way to lose weight. Is eating less that 15 grams of fat, and exercising 30 minutes each day the most effective way to lose weight? Is eating anything you want, and exercising 90 minutes each day that is the most effective weight loss strategy? Or, is it something completely different? Medical research shows that exercising regularly and eating a well-balance diet that is low in fat can assist in weight loss, as well as provide for better overall health. Finding the best combination of the two is the difficult part.
The weight loss business.
The weight loss business is booming. The idea of a company developing their own strategy for weight loss, and selling it has been a successful one. Companies such as, Weight Watchers (http://www.weight-watchers.com), and Jenny Craig, have become very well known and very economically successful. Each of these companies has its own theories about losing weight, however, the majority of these companies use a combination of a low fat diet and a regular exercise program to promote weight loss. Many also use a support mechanism such as weekly, or monthly group, or individual meetings to help their clients maintain the program. (http://www.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Companies/Health/Weight_Loss/Diets_and_Programs/)
For example, Jenny Craig offers a program that includes daily menus of selected foods, which they package and provide to the client, and weekly counseling sessions with an employee of Jenny Craig. The daily meals are designed to provide a specific number of calories, which is predetermined by the client’s weight and self-assessed activity level.
In his speech, Brutus appeals to the loyalism of his audience by making intertwining arguments of ethos, pathos, and logos. He begins by establishing his ethos by asserting his status as an honorable fellow Roman worthy of their respect. He expands on this ethos by dividing it into three parts: his love of Caesar, his loyalty to Rome, and his relationship to his audience. Brutus tells his audience that he was a “dear friend” to the man he murdered, invoking a pathetic sense of sympathy from his audience. However, as he says himself, it was “not that [he] loved Caesar less, but that [he] loved Rome more,” strengthening his ethos as a loyal countryman with the interests of his audience at heart. After establishing an emotional connection to his audience and earning their trust, Brutus explains his logic
Brutus does back up his argument effectively by augmenting and emphasizing his credibility. With his already existing trust with his audience, he is able to proclaim, “Believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor.” Being a well-respected man of Rome, the audience does not have much reason, if at all, to criticize the sincerity of Brutus. Furthermore, he stresses his respect for Caesar, saying, “I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honor him.” By showing the audience his respect for the deceased man, it influences them to believe in his voiced opinion. Arguably Brutus’s most effective persuasive argument is his proclamation that he is willing to die for Rome if need it be. He announces this by saying, “I have the same dagger for myself when it shall please my county to need my death.” This powerfully shows the audience that everything he does, he does to please his country, and that he h...
Brutus’ approach to the Roman people suggest his extreme amount of self confidence. He attempts to relate to the people by speaking alike the plebians in prose. His constant use of ethos in his speech shows the audience how highly he thinks of himself. Brutus states
Brutus primarily uses the rhetorical appeal of ethos in his speech. Ethos is prevalent in his speech when he is speaking about his love for Rome,which ultimately is higher than his love for Caesar. He relies on defending himself and proving to the townspeople his actions were a sacrifice for Rome. Brutus states, “Believe me for mine honor,and have respect for mine honor, that/ you may believe” (JC III.ii.14-16).Brutus’s expectations for his speech were for people to respond reasonably and realize that what he did was the right thing. Brutus is very successful because he presents the political struct...
The history of opposition between science and religion has been steady for about half of a century. As early as the 1500's, science and religion have been antagonistic forces working against each other. Science was originally founded by Christians to prove that humans lived in a orderly universe (Helweg, 1997). This would help to prove that the universe was created by a orderly God who could be known. Once this was done, science was considered by the church to be useless. When people began to further investigate the realm of science, the church considered them to be heretics; working for the devil. According to Easterbrook (1...
Being that Brutus bases his speech on logic and trust, it would make sense that he does a better job at parallelism and repetition, due to the fact that this techniqu...
Communication is crucial in any relationship, whether it is a personal or impersonal exchange. Since the founding of North America, the Euro-American people have constantly clashed with the First Americans, never attempting to functionally coexist together. After years of no understanding between the two civilizations and in a state of haste to resolve the Indian problem in the west plains, the United States felt action must be in order. While a portion of the public felt complete physical extermination was the solution to follow, Captain Richard H. Pratt pioneered the idea that it would be wiser to “Kill the Indian, and Save the Man.” Although seen as a convenient solution during the late nineteenth century, boarding schools became a tool for cultural genocide targeting Native American children, exposing them to forced assimilation, grueling labor and abuse.
There are a number of different weight loss methods you could try, but if they 're all fundamentally the same and your results are never favorable, it 's important to look at the plans you 're employing.
Both speakers used an ethical appeal to the crowd and established their credibility first. Brutus starts off by saying he was Caesar’s friend, and he loved him, but because Ceasar was “ambitious” he had to “slew” him. Brutus knew that everyone in town thought he was an honorable man and he used that to establish his credibility, unlike Antony, who was thought to be a play boy, not serious about anything. He had to work harder to gain the crowd’s attention. The first sentence out of his mouth was that he was here to “bury Caesar, not to praise him” which is a great way to start since most of the people didn’t like Caesar at the time and didn’t want to listen to some silly friend of Caesar’s say wonderful things about him. Antony also mentioned many times that their hero Brutus is an “honorable“ man. This also helped get the crowd to listen to him, because they had just heard Brutus and were all fired up about the wonderful things he had said. So both the characters start off their speeches the same, gaining credibilit...
According to Jenny Craig; the very first step within the Jenny Craig diet is maintaining and having a good consultant customer relationship. Next is to weight the customer and go over the overall goals that person wishes to meet. A person can design the jenny Craig menu and plan out the meals for weeks in advance. Unlimited consultations are available to the customers to discuss any difficulties customers may be coming across.
Brutus made his speech effective in persuading the people by using tone and rhetorical devices. Brutus was compassionate when referring to how he loved Caesar as much as Caesar`s friends of his speech. Brutus was showing compassion on lines18 - 20 when he said, "If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say that Brutus's love to Caesar was no less than his." Brutus said this to help the people understand the sorrow he felt for the loss of Caesar, but he felt he killed Caesar for the good of Rome. Brutus anticipated an objection by the people when he said he loved Caesar , so he went on to say on lines 20 - 23, "If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I love Caesar less, but Rome more."Brutus manipulated the people with rhetorical questions. He asks them on lines 29 - 33, " who is so base, that they would be a bondman, who is so rude, that they would not be a Roman, and who is so vile, that will not love his country," the people do not want to be against their country nor do they want to be so base to be a slave....
The “Today’s Dietitian” is a website(magazine) that allows consumers and health professionals to keep up with recent studies about Nutrition and Health. This website is unique because it’s a variety of things in one. For instance, it’s a space to keep consumers up to date with upcoming symposiums, allow consumers to read recent and old editions and issues of the magazine, and offer Registered Dieticians an area to compose blogs, and educate readers about certain topics. The website itself is pretty neat, it is organized in a way that is easy for anyone to navigate. The website also displays tabs that pertain to broad topics that attract consumers, for example the “Weight Control” tab. The website contains current issues for the magazines, latest news, trends, debate topics, and recipes. Something that I thought was cool was that they have a section in which consumers can keep up to date with latest tweets, recent

Museum defines as an institution housing collections of objects of artistic, historic, or scientific interest conserved and displayed for the educational and enjoyment of the public. Museums are places of memory that provides the link of distant past to the present generation which also help the society to know the path their forebears trod.
