know that 3500 lb. = ______ calories. the safest way to lose weight is 1-2bs. per week
women should never go below 200 calories/day men should never go below 1500 calories/day.

\the set point th____ y weight is regulated at a predetermined, or preferred, level l____ chanism.\...
\the body uses hormones, ____, and other physiological mechanisms to \defend\ a certain range of body weight (and body fat in particular). a simple way to think of this is as a \__\ or \____\ system for body weight and fat levels. whatever numbers are set are what your body strives to maintain.

when you cut calories below ____/__ = your body goes into starvation mode and you have: __, __, and ____ do not release fat!

__- syndrome: if you lose weight fast, you lose ____ and gain it back as fat!

Explanation:

1. The standard calorie equivalent for 1 pound of body weight is 3500, so 3500 lb. (likely a typo for 1 lb.) equals 3500 calories.
2. The set point theory states body weight is regulated via physiological mechanisms, including hormones, metabolism, and acts like a "thermostat" or "feedback" system to maintain a preferred weight.
3. Eating below your basal metabolic rate (BMR, the calorie needs at rest) triggers starvation mode, slowing metabolism, reducing energy, and causing the body to hold onto fat stores.
4. The Yo-Yo Syndrome (weight cycling) occurs when rapid weight loss leads to losing muscle mass, which is later regained as fat.
5. The minimum daily calorie guidelines are 1200 for women (corrected from the likely typo 200) and 1500 for men.

Answer:

1. 3500
2. theory; metabolism; thermostat; feedback
3. your basal metabolic rate (BMR); slowed metabolism; reduced energy levels; fat cells
4. Yo-Yo; muscle mass
