Question
Chapter 9, Problem 16SC
Summary Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the statement ‘a diet too low is carbohydrates brings responses that are similar to fasting’ is true or false.
Concept Introduction:
Too low calories would lead to invariable weight loss or similar to fasting. The failure rate of less calorie as a primary strategy is an appalling 99%. Using a high rational model of obesity as a hormonal disorder leads to the hypothesis that increasing insulin should lead to permanent weight gain. Low carbohydrate diets and fasting accomplish the goal.

Students have asked these similar questions
Humans can survive longer by total fasting than on a diet consisting entirely of small amounts of carbohydrates. What is going on?
Why is it important to have a proper diet and nutrition?
(Explain your answer. Should be about 200-300 words)
A young man says that he is consuming much more protein in his diet than the recommended amount. He feels that he needs the extra amount just in case he wants to build more muscle mass in the near future. How would you respond to him?
Group of answer choices
It should be fine because the cells in his body will store the extra amino acids for future use.
If he has excess calories in his diet, he may gain fat from converted protein.
The extra protein will be used as fuel instead of carbohydrate.
His body won't digest the extra protein and will eliminate the excess in feces.
The excess amino acids can only be stored for up to 48 hours.
