physical activity - accounts for 15-40% of energy expenditure and depends upon body size, fitness level,
and actual activity

ryan was comparing two nutrition labels for snacks at the grocery store. snack #1 had 130 calories per
serving and 4 grams of total fat, while snack #2 had 145 calories and 2 grams of fat. which snack would

a 47 year old female has come to the clinic for help losing weight. for the past 4 months she has worked
to only eat low-fat and fat-free foods, but she has not lost weight. why might consuming fat-free and
low-fat foods not lead to weight loss
the calorie difference between low-fat and its regular counterpart can be marginal as extra sugar (or salt)
can be used to improve the taste. additionally, the lack of fat or simply the knowledge that the product is
lower in calories, may lead you to actually ear more of a low-fat product. the end result is often the
consumption of more calories than if you had just ingested the regular product initially
why is it recommended to not consume high calorie drinks like colas and alcohol for weight loss and
maintenance
,drinks can have high calories but not lead to a feeling of fullness or satiety, so people will also ingest food

for when she is bored, hungry, stressed, watching TV, etc. are salt and vinegar potato chips. she always

or greater than 27 with co-morbid health risks
medications, extremely low-calorie diet, surgery
for individuals with a bmi of greater than 30, drastic weight loss measures can be taken like medications
to help the patient lose weight. pick one medication and explain how it helps someone to lose weight
and specific example (name of drug or class)
medications can be used to treat weight loss by being a stimulant and increasing energy to burn more
calories (amphetamines)
medications can decrease hunger sensation and be an appetite reduction drug (meridia) work for people
who eat a fairly healthy diet but consume excess quantities
drugs can decrease fat absorption by inhibiting enzymes that break down fat (orlistat, xenical or alli)
true or false. if false, explain why it is false

the Paleolithic or carve an diet (aka paleo) is based on the idea that human ancestors up to 10,000 years
ago ate a very different diet than our modern one, and a change back to the type of eating our ancestors
will help dieters to lose weight by decreasing appetite and increasing energy by matching our eating to
our genes. during the paleolithic period, people were hunter gatherers, so any food commonly farmed
would be eliminated, thus dieters cannot consume dairy, legumes, refined sugar, salt, potatoes,
processed foods or grains. along with weight loss, the diet touts improved glucose tolerance, blood
pressure control, lower triglycerides and appetite management. because of the need for fresh fruits and
vegetables, nuts, seeds and wild, grass-fed or unformed meats, the paleo diet can be very expensive to
maintain
