NASM-WLS Ch 9 WEIGHT MANAGEMENT MYTHS EXAM 2024 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Objectives After completing this section, the health and fitness professional will be able to: - Answer-⦁ Understand how weight management myths are developed. ⦁ Be familiar with common fallacies associated with weight management. ⦁ Educate current and prospective weight loss clients on the truths of common weight management myths. True or False: One of the challenges for popular media is capturing complex study results, or subtle details of research methodology, in a magazine-selling headline. -Answer-True True or False: In most formats, the carbohydrate-modified (low-carbohydrate/high-protein) diet is a ketogenic diet, which induces a state of ketosis through severe limitation of dietary carbohydrates. -Answer-True True or False: Ketosis occurs in metabolism when the liver converts fat into fatty acids, and ketones (the byproduct of incomplete fat metabolism) reach high levels in the blood -Answer- True True or False: There is no consensus in the literature that low-carbohydrate diets produce significantly greater rates of weight loss or longer-term weight loss maintenance when compared with more conventional low-fat diets -Answer-True Scientists suggest that several mechanisms may be responsible for the weight loss seen with low-carbohydrate diets: -Answer-⦁ The severe restriction of carbohydrate depletes glycogen (stored carbohydrate) supply, leading to excretion of bound water. ⦁ The ketogenic nature of the diet may suppress appetite, leading to reduced caloric intake. ⦁ The high protein content of low-carbohydrate diets may provide greater hormonally mediated satiety, thereby reducing spontaneous food intake. ⦁ The self-selection from limited food choices may lead to a decrease in caloric intake. True or False: Weight loss while using low- carbohydrate diets was principally associated with decreased caloric intake and increased diet duration, but not with reduced carbohydrate content. In other words, the calorie reduction and negative energy balance that occurs on these diets induce weight loss. It is worth noting that many studies in this area are limited by a high attrition (drop-out rate) and by lack of adherence to the diet -Answer- True The emphasis of nutrition counseling today is to preserve (as much as possible) ____________. -Answer-the way clients like to eat True or False: Low-carbohydrate diets may work for some people, and as long as the diets are within the AMDR and provide nutrient-dense foods, they should not present a health risk. -Answer-True To aid in weight loss, clients can choose to: -Answer-- Decrease the frequency of meals - Decrease portion sizes of the foods they normally consume - Decrease intake of high-fat/energy-dense foods - Make any acceptable dietary changes to reduce caloric intake. True or False: The homeostasis of blood glucose is extremely important to life. If the range is not well controlled, as can be the case with diabetes, fluctuations to either extreme can be fatal. -Answer-True Critics of the GI question its practical utility because: -Answer-people do not eat foods in isolation the way these foods are tested in a lab.
