know that 3500 lb. = 1 calories. the safest way to lose weight is 1-2lbs. per week
women should never go below 200 calories/day men should never go below 1500 calories/day.
\the set point theory suggests that body weight is regulated at a predetermined, or preferred, level by a feedback control mechanism.\...
\the body uses hormones ,metabolism , thermostat, 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 set point theory compares the body's weight regulation to a thermostat or feedback loop system, as it maintains a set range like a thermostat maintains temperature.
2. Cutting calories below your basal metabolic rate (BMR) / minimum safe daily intake triggers starvation mode, leading to slowed metabolism, increased hunger, and fat cells that do not release fat.
3. The Yo-Yo Dieting (or Cyclic Weight Loss) Syndrome describes rapid weight loss where you lose muscle mass, then regain the weight as fat.
4. Note: There is a typo in the provided text: "3500 lb. = 1 calories" should be 3500 calories = 1 lb of body fat. Also, the safe minimum calorie intake for women is 1200 (not 200) calories/day, and 1500 for men, which is likely a typo in the original material.

Answer:

1. Thermostat; feedback loop
2. Your basal metabolic rate (BMR); slowed metabolism, increased hunger, fat cells
3. Yo-Yo Dieting; muscle mass
