Summary Introduction
To review:
The fate of the muscles in a person on an extreme calorie-restricted diet in order to lose weight. Also, justify whether this step to lose weight should be followed by people. Also, review the fact whether people on crash diets realize its consequences.
Introduction:
Glucose is the main source of energy in the body. During starvation, that is, in the absence of glucose as an energy source, human body uses proteins and fats as a source of glucose. The body begins to use muscle proteins. This may lead to fatigue and can also affect the heart. The brain will also be affected by extreme calorie restricted diet.

hi there
Explain in detial how dietary fat is absorbed from the gut, and how the energy from bodyfat stores is released during periods of starvation.
With examples.
Im really stuck on writing 500 words for this question.
The crash diet or “no food” diet leads to rapid weight loss for the first 10-14 days and then weightloss slows dramatically. Explain these phenomena.
Fructose and glucose are both monosaccharides, but the body metabolizesthese sugars differently. For example, glucose stimulates insulin releasefrom the pancreas (see section 28.4); fructose does not. Moreover, insulinstimulates leptin release. Finally, fructose is more likely than glucose tobe converted to fat. Use this information to propose an explanation for thecorrelation between the skyrocketing consumption of high fructose cornsyrup since 1970 and the rise in obesity during the same period.

- Obesity pretty clearly increases one's risk of many medical issues. However, while society and medical experts have placed great emphasis on maintaining "normal" body weight, the excess risk posed by being merely overweight—having a moderately high body mass index (BMI), as opposed to being obese—is less clear. Why? Can you explain?arrow_forwardObesity is associated with a number of chronic conditions, EXCEPT O inner ear balance problems O respiratory problems O mobility problems O heart disease O type 2 diabetesarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true about the well-fed state? O a. Liver glycogen is synthesized from polymerization of glucose. b. Mobilization of triacylglycerols from adipose provides fatty acids to be oxidized and precursors for ketone bodies. O C.

- why it has been suggested that in the future obesity may be treated with antimicrobial drugsarrow_forwardObesity can have hormonal causes, but it is generally the result of overnutrition and lack of exercise. Elevated plasma fatty acids have been implicated in the development of type 2 diabetes. How does this affect metabolism? O The influx of fatty acids to muscle cells shifts metabolism in that tissue toward glycolysis and away from B-oxidation. In addition, the liver is also increasing glycolysis and B-oxidation due to elevated fatty acids. O The influx of fatty acids to muscle cells shifts metabolism in that tissue toward amino acid metabolism and away from gluconeogenesis. In addition, the liver is increasing B-oxidation and gluconeogenesis due to elevated fatty acids. O The influx of fatty acids to muscle cells shifts metabolism in that tissue away from B-oxidation and toward gluconeogenesis. The liver is increasing B-oxidation and lowering rates of gluconeogenesis due to elevated fatty acids. O The influx of fatty acids to muscle cells shifts metabolism in that tissue toward…arrow_forward1.
