Consider the scenario:
Morgan has always struggled with losing weight and has tried various diets, including Atkins, keto, paleo, and intermittent fasting with limited success. Morgan believes that the only reason someone would have difficulty losing weight and keeping it off is because they lack willpower or that they don't exercise enough. You want to help Morgan to lose weight, but more importantly, you want to explain the biological processes involved in eating and dieting.
ARTICLE AND DIET I CHOSE IS LISTED FIRST- INTERMITTENT FASTING
- In the first line of your post, identify which diet you selected.
- Describe the brain basis of eating behaviors. (e.g., brain regions that promote eating and satiety, neurotransmitters, and associated hormones, etc.) associated with the diet.
- Briefly explain the premise of the diet you selected (how it works) and how that diet impacts biological factors influencing eating behavior, metabolism, weight loss, or weight gain.
- Based on the findings of the related article you selected, explain whether or not the diet is likely to be an effective method for weight loss and why.
- Considering what you have learned about the biological basis of eating behavior and metabolism, explain one piece of advice you would give Morgan about dieting and maintaining weight loss.
