Biomechanology of Body Mass Loss, Body Mass Gain, and Body Mass Distribution: The Genuine Science of Weight Loss, Weight Gain, and Human Body Shape

This book reveals the new but factual science of human body size and shape. It explains the biological basis (biomechanology) of body mass gain and loss, as well as the mechanisms of body mass distribution. Some of the authors' work described in this book was published in 2005. under "Obesity, Gravity, Strength, and Balance" and later in 2008 and 20012 under "Modern Science of Biomechanics and Weight Gain and Loss." Various academic journals, peer-reviewed publications, and the 8th International Scientific Conference on Kinesiology have cited the editions. This book consists of 82discussion articles and 20 infographic images. Each article is a brick in the structure that explains the biological basis of weight gain and weight loss, as well as the factors that determine body mass distribution. The first eleven introductory and discussion articles (pages 8-40) briefly explain the fallacies in mainstream weight gain and weight loss theories, highlighting that throughout history, physicians have been aware of obesity and its adverse effects on health. Still, until the end of the nineteenth century, any suggestion to restrict a particular food intake in favour of another or to restrict overall food intake to solve obesity was rare and regarded as bizarre by physicians and the general population. The article "Ancient and Modern Intervention for Controlling Body Shape and Size" explains how ancient interventions effectively controlled body weight and body mass distribution. Modern weight-loss interventions never even attempted to control the distribution of body mass. The article "An Explanation for Why Astronauts and Cosmonauts Quickly Lose Body Mass in Space" provides the first glimpse into how the Biological Basis of Body Mass Loss works (muscle, bone, and fat mass loss in space). The article "Explaining why Some People Lose Weight while Dieting while Others Don't" explains why dieting for weight loss causes weight loss in some people without changes in their physical activity, while others don't, and some even causes further weight gain. The article "An Explanation For Why Some People Lose Weight Through Exercise While Others Do Not" explains why some exercises, without changes in food intake, cause weight loss, while others do not, and some exercises even cause further weight gain. Also, it describes the mechanism underlying exercise-induced weight loss and weight gain. In the article "Comparison of Weight Loss Caused by Long-Standing Illnesses, Certain Types of Injuries and Weight Loss After Weight Loss Surgery", the author explains the mechanism underlying weight loss after weight loss surgery - bariatric surgery. This book explains the fallacies of the theories behind all known weight loss programs (dieting, increased physical activities, weight loss pills, etc.) and the real reason behind the slim or lean body shape of weight loss professionals, which they are unaware of. Instead, they wrongly believe it is due to their diet, program, etc., for weight loss, which they advocate to the general population. Extensive Author research about callisthenics exercises and their role in managing body shape and size is published in a separate book under the title, "Locomotor Skills and Postural Control Weight Loss Exercises" with the subtitle, Ancient Greek and New Calisthenics - Beauty and Strength Exercises". In that book, the author explains which physical exercises are appropriate for individuals who are overweight, obese, severely obese, and those affected by lipoedema-obesity and lipodystrophy-cellulite.
