Fetma

Fredrik Nyström – professor i internmedicin och känd för många som Doktor Lagom, har med hjälp av 30 års forskning på bland annat övervikt och metabola sjukdomar krossat många av samtidens vanligaste hälsomyter, bland annat i succéboken Radikalt lagom.

I den efterlängtade boken Motvikt gör han en gång för alla upp med vår förståelse kring övervikt och fetma, och berättar om starten på den nya hälsorevolutionen.

Motvikt handlar om ett skifte i hur vi förstår övervikt och fetma. I stället för att se hunger som ett karaktärsproblem visar Fredrik Nyström hur den är biologiskt reglerad – och hur nya läkemedel för första gången gör det möjligt att behandla övervikt på samma medicinska sätt som andra kroniska tillstånd.

Boken förklarar också utvecklingen i ett större sammanhang: medicinhistoria, vårdpolitik och hur synen på ansvar, skuld och behandling håller på att förändras.

Populärvetenskap skrivet av en kliniker som dagligen möter patienterna – och konsekvenserna – och som nu kräver förändring. 

Har du tappat hoppet om en hälsosam vikt? Ge inte upp.Starta din sista viktresa!

Personligt och pedagogiskt guidas du igenom biologiska orsaker till övervikt, det avancerade system som styr hunger- och mättnadskänslor, samt varför det är så svårt att gå ner i vikt.

Nya läkemedel gör det möjligt att behandla fetmans grundorsak; en hjärna som kräver mer mat än kroppen behöver. Men viktläkemedel är inga mirakelkurer. Du behöver även optimera din vardag.

Forskning, klinisk erfarenhet och personliga berättelser ger dig en teoretisk bakgrund till fetmaproblematiken och en praktisk handbok som förändrar ditt liv.

Du är själv nyckeln till din egen målvikt. Med ett ramverk av stöd som du anpassar efter dina förutsättningar gör du din egen sista viktresa.

Alette Brorstad är specialisten i allmänmedicin som själv varit fet, men är viktstabil sedan 2021. Hon har vigt sitt liv åt kampen mot övervikt och fetma.

Margareta Boström är en prisbelönt författare till flera faktaböcker om mänskligt beteende. Margareta är själv på en framgångsrik sista viktresa där inget tidigare hjälpt, inte ens en fetmaoperation.

From the bestselling author of The Easy 5-Ingredient Ketogenic Diet Cookbook comes an essential guide to making keto meals in the Instant Pot.Bestselling author Jen Fisch knows that making lifestyle changes is challenging. Several years ago, she was suffering from multiple autoimmune diseases when her doctor suggested she try the keto diet. Her first thought was, That seems too hard, and I don’t want to give up my favorite foods. But soon, after a lot of trial and error and recipe testing and developing, the single working mom figured out how to make a keto eating plan work for her and her daughter. She turned her tips and recipes into a hugely successful blog, Keto in the City—and later included them in her cookbooks. Today, Jen is an established authority in the keto community and regarded as a trusted expert. In her new cookbook, Keto in an Instant, Jen explores one of the time-saving cooking tools her audience loves most: The Instant Pot.

Keto in an Instant features more than 80 recipes that make use of the pressure cooker, spanning every meal of the day. From hearty dishes like Short Rib Ragu, Shredded Brisket Bowls, and Chicken Parm Meatballs; to soups and stews like Buffalo Chicken Chowder, Lasagna Soup, and Coconut Shrimp Soup; to treats like Blackberry Pudding Cupcakes, Maple Bacon Pancake Bites, and Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls, Jen offers healthy and delicious dishes that every member of the family can enjoy without feeling deprived.

In addition to healthy, mouthwatering recipes, Jen shares her personal success story, the key principles of keto, and a comprehensive guide to foolproof cooking with the Instant Pot. She makes the keto lifestyle simple, delicious, and budget-friendly—for everyone.

Obesity is an epidemic with enormous health, economic and social burdens. Current drugs for obesity treatment are far from ideal in terms of efficacy and side effects. Reviews in this volume of Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational Science summarize current status in studies of a number of G protein-coupled receptors that were shown to be promising targets for obesity treatments. Some of these receptors also cause monogenic obesity in humans.

First published in 1943, Vitamins and Hormones is the longest-running serial published by Academic Press. The Editorial Board now reflects expertise in the field of hormone action, vitamin action, X-ray crystal structure, physiology and enzyme mechanisms.

Under the capable and qualified editorial leadership of Dr. Gerald Litwack, Vitamins and Hormones continues to publish cutting-edge reviews of interest to endocrinologists, biochemists, nutritionists, pharmacologists, cell biologists and molecular biologists. Others interested in the structure and function of biologically active molecules like hormones and vitamins will, as always, turn to this series for comprehensive reviews by leading contributors to this and related disciplines.

This volume focuses on obesity.

Obesity is a continuing issue around the world and in many contexts. The growing number of obese people is an increasing concern for those in the medical profession, and obesity can pose specific challenges in relation to fertility and pregnancy. Patients who are obese require specific considerations and knowledge. Bringing together experts from a variety of specialties to examine the issues and challenges of obesity, this book discusses how obesity affects fertility, reproduction, and pregnancy. Beginning with an exploration of the epidemiology of obesity, further chapters focus on specific issues related to obesity and both male and female reproduction, the complications of obesity during pregnancy and labour, and the long term effects of obesity. This is the most comprehensive resource to examine the topic of obesity and reproductive issues, making it invaluable for medical students, professionals, and researchers in public policy and medicine.

Nutritional Pathophysiology of Obesity and Its Comorbidities: A Case-Study Approach challenges students and practitioners to understand the role of nutrients within the pathophysiology and development of disease, specifically those diseases which develop as a result of obesity. Through a case-based approach, the author presents complex clinical scenarios that require multiple treatment strategies, including targeted diet modification as an adjuvant to medical therapy.

The book is divided into 9 modules and 5 appendices each of which covers aspects of obesity and its comorbidities. Within each module, a case is detailed with relevant history, laboratory and physical data, and follow-up information. Each case is followed by a resource section which delineates current understanding of the pathophysiology of the condition, as well as the actions of nutrients and food components shown to modify these processes. A "further readings" section cites current supporting clinical and basic literature as well as published guidelines.

Obesity: Oxidative Stress and Dietary Antioxidants cover the science of oxidative stress in obesity and associated conditions, including metabolic syndrome, bariatric surgery, and the potentially therapeutic usage of natural antioxidants in the diet or food matrix. The processes within the science of oxidative stress are not described in isolation, but in concert with other processes, such as apoptosis, cell signaling and receptor mediated responses. This approach recognizes that diseases are often multifactorial and oxidative stress is but a single component. The book is designed for nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, physicians and clinical workers, health care workers and research scientists.

Global Perspectives on Childhood Obesity: Current Status, Consequences and Prevention, Second Edition examines the current childhood obesity epidemic, outlines the consequences of this crisis, and develops strategies to forestall and prevent it. This book provides a thorough investigation of the causes of childhood obesity and, more importantly, offers specific prevention strategies that can be used by medical and mental health professionals, policymakers, community organizers, and individuals. New chapters on BMI and cardiovascular disease, exercise, neurotransmitters, neurocognition, nutrigenomics and combined prevention strategies are included, making this a solid introduction on the childhood obesity crisis.

Researchers, practitioners, and advanced students in public health, health policy, and health economics, as well those working in medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, school health, physiology, and neuroscience related to obesity will find this to be a comprehensive resource.

Obesity Hypoventilation Syndrome: From Physiologic Principles to Clinical Practice summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding the epidemiology, physiology and treatment of obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS). Currently, the identification and management of OHS is suboptimal, especially in the acute setting, hence the misdiagnosis or mislabeling of the problem has a significant impact on patient outcomes. This volume brings together all aspects of assessment and management into a main resource for understanding the complex physiological and clinical consequences of this condition.

Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Abdominal Obesity, Second Edition focuses on the important role that exercise, dietary changes and foods play in promoting and reducing visceral fat. Nutritionists, dieticians and healthcare providers seeking to address the abdominal obesity epidemic will find this book to be a valuable resource in their long-term goal of preventing chronic diseases, especially heart, vascular and diabetic diseases. Chapters define a range of dietary approaches to reduce risk for the associated chronic diseases. In addition, discussions of the importance of dietary approaches to reduce abdominal obesity, along with clinical approaches, are discussed, including costs and risks.

Obesity and Gynecology, Second Edition, presents updated chapters on a variety of topics, ranging from adolescent obesity, contraception, assisted reproduction and sexual dysfunction, to bariatric surgery and improving semen parameters. The prevalence of obesity in men and women continues to dramatically increase around the world. Obesity presents specific challenges in relation to male and female infertility and general gynecology. Patients who are obese require specific considerations and knowledge.
