Question 7

For underweight people trying to gain weight,what percentage of their daily calories should come from fat?​

Accepted Answer

For underweight people trying to gain weight, it is recommended that 30% of their daily calories should come from fat. Fat is a dense source of calories, providing 9 calories per gram, so incorporating a moderate amount of healthy fats into the diet can help increase caloric intake without excessive amounts of volume or discomfort. However, it is important to choose healthy fat sources such as nuts, seeds, avocado, olive oil, and fatty fish rather than unhealthy, processed fats.

Question 8

What bodily process slows when leptin levels are low?​

Question 10

Which approach is recommended for underweight people trying to gain weight?​

Accepted Answer

Eating a wider variety of foods can ensure that underweight individuals are getting enough nutrients and calories to help them gain weight. This can include incorporating more healthy fats, protein, and complex carbohydrates into meals. It is also important to avoid skipping meals and to eat consistently throughout the day. Drinking soda instead of fruit juice (B) is not recommended as it is high in sugar and does not provide many nutrients. Eating two to three large meals per day (C) may not work for individuals with a small appetite and may lead to discomfort and difficulty consuming enough calories. Eating more fresh fruit (E) can be part of a healthy diet, but it should not be the only focus for those trying to gain weight.

Question 11

Although scientists are skeptical,  random trials have shown which CAM practice as more effective than lifestyle modification in reducing BMI and weight?​

Accepted Answer

Random trials have shown that acupuncture is more effective than lifestyle modification in reducing BMI and weight. However, it is important to note that scientists are still skeptical about the reliability of these findings and more research is needed in this area.

Question 12

Constance and Jennifer both watch a lot of TV,but Constance tends to get up and walk around during the commercials.Which process accounts for that fact that Constance has maintained her weight,while Jennifer has put on 10 pounds?​

Accepted Answer

Nonexercise activity thermogenesis (NEAT) refers to the energy expended during activities of daily living that are not planned exercise, such as walking around during commercials. This extra movement can help Constance burn more calories and maintain her weight, while Jennifer may not be as active during the day and therefore may have put on weight. Archimedes Principle, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, hydrostatic pressure, and skinfold variance are not relevant to this scenario.

Question 13

Total calorie intake is crucial for maintaining a healthy diet as it directly impacts weight management and overall health.

Question 14

Which feature do college men associate with feeling sexier,more confident,and more attractive to women?

Question 15

One reason that people who eat low-fat food and drink diet sodas still gain weight is because they ____.

Accepted Answer

Many people who consume low-fat foods and diet sodas may believe they are making healthy choices, but they may also feel that they can indulge in high-calorie treats because they've made a "healthy" choice. It's important to keep in mind that while low-fat foods and diet sodas may be lower in calories, they can still contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess or if they lead to overcompensating with unhealthy choices.

Question 16

As an over-the-counter weight-loss drug,how does orlistat work?

Accepted Answer

Orlistat works by blocking about one-quarter of the fat consumed, which prevents it from being absorbed by the body. This leads to a reduction in overall calorie intake and can help with weight loss.

Question 17

Multiple studies on some of the most popular weight-loss programs reached which general conclusion?​

Accepted Answer

Multiple studies on some of the most popular weight-loss programs reached the general conclusion that "We still don't know whether a lot of these programs work."

Question 18

Which potentially dangerous side effect may result from a high-protein,low-carbohydrate diet?​

Accepted Answer

A high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet can result in ketosis, which occurs when the body starts burning stored fat for fuel instead of glucose due to a lack of carbohydrates. This can lead to a build-up of ketones in the blood, which is potentially dangerous and can cause symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, and bad breath. Therefore, it is important to monitor protein and carbohydrate intake to avoid the risks associated with ketosis.

Question 19

Carl feels full after eating his sandwich,apple,and chips.He has achieved ____.

Accepted Answer

Satiety refers to the feeling of fullness and satisfaction after eating, indicating that Carl has consumed enough food to meet his body's energy needs. Basal metabolism refers to the minimum amount of energy needed to maintain basic bodily functions, while moderation refers to consuming food in appropriate amounts to maintain optimal health. Consumption and digestion are related more to the process of eating and breaking down food, rather than the feeling of fullness.

Question 20

Which activity applies to people who have maintained a weight loss of at least 30 pounds for at least year?​

Maintaining an hour of moderate physical activity almost every day is a proven successful habit of those who have maintained a significant weight loss for at least a year. The other options are not necessarily applicable or recommended for successful weight maintenance.
