[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the contradictory evidence which exists regarding the benefits verses the adverse potentials of hormone replacement therapy (HRT)in menopausal women.

How Diet Plans Are Deceiving
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. One says to eat only low-fat, low-calorie foods; another says to eat only the foods found within a certain group; yet another says to eat only the amount of food that equals the number of points one is allowed for the entire day; while still another advocates eschewing all of the above and consume only high protein, low-carbohydrate foods. Clearly, the myriad weight-reduction plans that exist throughout contemporary society are enough to confuse any potential dieter. The writer discusses how contemporary diets reflect the significant pressures placed upon those who are both impressionable and vulnerable. With the primary influence being that of popular culture, overweight individuals are faced with difficult choices when it comes to proper food choices and weight loss programs. Atkins is the focus of this paper. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Is There A Relationship Between Goal Setting And Exercise Commitment?
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Motivation is one of the most critical components to maintaining exercise commitment. While that is not a disputable fact, the manner by which people achieve satisfactory motivation in order to maintain exercise commitment, however, is where many fail to uphold that resolution. Looking at the synergistic relationship between goal setting and exercise commitment leads one to realize how focusing upon a certain finite objective – reaching a goal weight, dropping a certain number of dress sizes, impressing a new love interest – becomes all-important to the final result. The predicted outcome will show how people who have a specific goal in mind – short- or long-term –when taking on an exercise program maintain much more commitment than their counterparts who have no specific direction in their fitness program.
