|
BMI
|
|
a condition in which a person has a BMI of 18.5
|

|
|
All of the chemical changes that take place in cells
|
metabolisim
|
|
the most common explanation of individual differences in weight loss and weight gain is..
|
variations in human metabolism
|
|
measures proportion of fat and lean body tissue
|
body composition
|
|
the body consits of
|
lean mass
water fat |
|
needed for normal physiological function. found within tissues and consituits about 3% of total weight in men and about 12% of toal weight in women.
|
Essential Fat
|
|
Fat stored just below the skin and around the major organs of the body.
|
Storage fat
|
|
storage fat
|
subcutaneous fat
|
|
What holds suncutaneous fat in place?
|
starnds of connective tissue
|
|
fat cells that buldge out from accumulated bady fat.
|
cellulite
|
|
used in research. uses a very low does beam of x-ray energy to measure total fat. May consider it the gold standard for body fat assestment. NOT available to the massses.
|
Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
|
|
most accurate but difficult and time consuming. Requires special equiptment and is used primarily in research settings. In essence it compars "regualr" weight with weight taken when under water.
|
Hydrostatic Weighing
|
|
air displacement. body volume is caculated by subtracting the air volume with the person inside the chamber form the air volume of an empty chamber. AS ACCURATE AS HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING, but not avaliable to the public

|
|
measure distribution rather than percentage of body fat.

|
|
A weight regulating mechanism that controls appetite and the amount of fat that is stored much like a thermostate. If body weight decreases, the body increases appetite and vice versa.
|
Setpoint therory
|
|
inherited metablolisms that enable a person to store much of the excess energy as body fat and thus were able to survuve when food was scarce. EXCEPT food is not scarce so they just kepp storing this extra fat and keep eating.
