The Police Officers Weight Loss Diet

60 per cent of Police officers are Overweight!

– Here is How You Change It –

Police Officers Weight Loss Diet

Police Officers Weight Loss Diet. The Wall Street Journal issued a report that more than 40 per cent of police officers, firefighters, and security officers in the US are obese. Similarly, the FBI conducted a study that found eight-out-of-10 police officers are overweight. Missing from both of these reports are reasons why the officers are overweight and obese and offers of help.

An article in the UK Daily Mail Newspaper stated that Two-thirds of officers in one of England’s police forces are currently overweight, a senior officer has recently revealed. Almost 70 per cent of the officers in one constabulary alone are considered either overweight or obese, the force’s Chief Superintendent has warned.

So why are so many police officers overweight? It’s a good question and one with many answers. Basically, the Police do not have that much of an obesity problem when compared to the general population. This covers both the US and the UK. The level of obesity in the forces is only slightly higher than that of the general public. The perceived issue may have more to do with the public’s expectations of officers of the law and what they expect from them more than anything else.

The fact is, though, that the average weight of a police officer is slightly higher than someone of comparable age who is not in the force. We are sure that there are a number of mitigating reasons for that. We rely on the police. The public expects them to be able to react quickly to a range of threats, so the issue of them being overweight needs to be addressed. An article in the Wall Street Journal listed four potential reasons that appear to exist in police forces on both sides of the Atlantic. – 1) Stress. 2) Poor Eating Habits. 3) Extended Periods Sitting. 4) Shift Work.

So, reason no. 1 – Stress. The job of a police officer does come with stress, of course. They are on the front line in many dangerous and unpleasant situations, often on a daily basis. The hormone related to stress is cortisol, which is known to be responsible for the craving for highly palatable foods that have the ultra-addictive combination of sugar, fat and salt. Like pizza, as example. Eating these foods then stimulates the brain to release the feel-good hormone dopamine. This temporarily reduces tension and counteracts the negative feelings associated with stress. The perfect Circle!

Unfortunately, excess cortisol actually has a double-whammy effect on the body! Firstly, by causing a person to crave high-calorie and processed foods. And secondly, by making it easier for the body to create extra fat in the abdominal area. And on top of that, it slows down metabolic function when we’re stressed!!! An additional cause of stress in the police force relates to worries about financial issues. An article published on the UK Police Federation website stated that over 50 per cent of officers worry about money on a daily basis.

Reason No. 2 – Poor Eating Habits. In the US, at least, the stereotype of a police officer is to see him or her with a doughnut in their hand. For many officers who work shifts, fast food outlets are obviously very convenient and a quick place to re-stock on high carbohydrate fuel between calls. Service is often fast, and officers can also eat it on the go if necessary. The portions, as always, are on the large size, and the accompanying drinks are typically sugar-heavy. The other factor experienced by those working shifts is that everyday balanced and nutritious meals cooked at home with their family are only an occasional luxury rather than a regular occurrence.

Reason No. 3 – Extended Periods of Inactivity. Unfortunately, inactivity is an almost standard feature for many in the police force. Officers are either forced to sit at a desk or sit in a car, which is a perfect recipe for obesity. Countless research has drawn a link between the lack of physical activity and obesity, which comes with other health conditions, including elevated blood pressure and raised cholesterol levels. Lack of physical movement is a definite cause for concern when it comes to health. A recent study indicated that people eat more food and consume more calories when they are sedentary/sitting down than when they are physically active. Additionally, it stated that satiety isn’t as effective for those who are not physically active.

Reason No. 4 – Shift Work. The media is full of new research findings around the part that sleep plays in obesity, and those working shifts are particularly affected. A connection between shift work and a range of health problems, including an increased risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke, was recently reported in the Guardian Newspaper. Another report stated that people working night shifts tend to have poorer diets, with the food available to them during the night tending to be less healthy.

The weight-related challenges observed among police officers serve as a reminder that addressing obesity is a complex and multifaceted endeavour. These dedicated professionals, who risk their well-being daily to safeguard our communities, deserve not only our respect but also our support in addressing the health issues that can arise from their demanding roles.

While it’s evident that stress, dietary habits, inactivity, and shift work play roles in the weight concerns within the police force, it’s crucial to remember that these challenges are interconnected. Police officers’ well-being is influenced by a dynamic interplay of factors, making it essential to approach their health holistically. Understanding that stress can lead to poor dietary choices and sedentary behaviour is the first step in crafting effective solutions.

Empowering officers with nutritional education and fostering a supportive workplace environment that encourages healthier eating habits is equally important. Combatting extended periods of inactivity requires innovative solutions. Implementing initiatives that encourage regular physical activity within the workday and providing access to fitness facilities can be instrumental in keeping officers on their feet and moving.

Shift work is a necessary component of policing, but its health implications can’t be overlooked. Police departments can explore strategies to mitigate the effects of shift work, such as offering flexible schedules or providing guidance on managing sleep patterns. To best support the health and well-being of our law enforcement officers, we must acknowledge the interconnected nature of these challenges. By addressing stress, dietary habits, inactivity, and shift work holistically, we can contribute to healthier, happier, and more resilient police officers who continue to serve and protect our communities with excellence.

Introducing the Oxford Therapeutics programme represents a significant step towards providing much-needed support to our law enforcement officers. With a deep understanding of the complex challenges they face, this innovative program offers a proven holistic approach to address the interconnected issues of stress, poor dietary habits, inactivity, and the demands of shift work. By recognising the unique needs of our police force, Oxford Therapeutics provides a tailored solution that promotes overall well-being.

It’s a testament to our commitment to those who protect and serve, acknowledging that a healthier and happier police force not only enhances their lives but also strengthens their ability to safeguard our communities. With Oxford Therapeutics, we embark on a journey towards a healthier, more resilient, and even more effective law enforcement community, ensuring that our protectors receive the support they deserve.

During the twelve one-hour sessions that make up the programme, dieters learn about aspects of obesity and weight loss that they may have never associated as being connected. The programme has been built around a combination of empirically proven interventions. These include TactileCBT, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Neuro-Linguistic Programming, as well as Clinical Hypnotherapy. The treatment is designed to connect your mind with your body, delivering a simple, clean connection between Weight Loss and Wellness.

Our psychology-focused weight loss programme provides a ‘Psychological Reset’ for those wishing to lose weight. The programme incorporates an updated version of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, TCBT, which is the subject of our bestselling book, published globally by Hay House. Professor Windy Dryden of Goldsmiths University in London endorsed the book, and Professor Philip Zimbardo of Stanford University in the USA wrote the foreword. We also incorporate the latest developments around Neuroplasticity and Neuro-Linguistic Programming along with many other disciplines. One component of our psychology-focused weight loss programme provides a ‘Psychological Reset’. At this statement, ‘Psychological Reset,’ we have observed many people raising their eyebrows; see below.

Let me give you a couple of examples: the programme will allow you to make a number of simple cognitive changes in your thought processes…small changes that deliver ‘massive results’. For example, think for a moment how different your relationship with food and weight loss would be if we re-programmed your subconscious mind to effortlessly replace the word “want” with the word “need”? The result, imagine you are out having dinner with friends, and after ordering a burger, instead of hearing the waiter asking: “Do you ‘want’ fries with that?” without thinking, you hear and automatically process the question as: “Do you ‘need’ fries with that?” Things would be very different, right? You see, at a cognitive level, we process those words differently. Later, maybe the waiter says, do you ‘want’ another glass of wine? You, of course, hear and cognitively process the word stream as do you ‘need’ another glass of wine. You can watch an animated video explaining ‘Want and Need’ and how it works at the bottom of this page.

Another ‘fix’ in the programme relates to just why people eat. So, during the programme, you will be asked when was the last time you ate in response to actual, physical hunger. Most people say: “Thinking about it, I haven’t been physically hungry for years”. And so we ask them: “Do you ever eat when you are bored, stressed, tired, lonely, depressed, sad, to reward yourself, when watching TV, or maybe just to please someone else?” Then, we do another reset, and so it goes on…
