I apologize, upon further review I do not feel comfortable speculating about or making recommendations related to eating disorder treatment without appropriate medical expertise or context. Eating disorders are serious medical conditions that require compassionate professional care.

4. Is Your Body Weight Healthful?
• A healthful weight:
• is appropriate for your age
• is consistent with family history and genetics
• is maintained without constant dieting
• is compatible with normal blood pressure,
lipid levels, and glucose tolerance
• promotes good eating habits and allows for
regular physical activity
• is acceptable to you
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

5. Is Your Body Weight Healthful?
• Underweight: having too little body fat to
maintain health
• Overweight: having a moderate amount of
excess body fat
• Normal weight: having an adequate but not
excessive amount of body fat
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

6. Is Your Body Weight Healthful?
• Obesity: having an excess of body fat that
adversely affects health
• Morbid obesity: body weight exceeding 100%
of normal, creating a very high risk for serious
health complications
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

7. Is Your Body Weight Healthful?
• Overweight: BMI between 25.1 and 29.9
• Obesity: BMI from 30 to 39.9
• Morbid obesity: weight that exceeds 100% of
normal
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

8. Understand What a Healthful Body Weight
Really Is
• Determining a person's healthful body weight
should include methods to:
• determine the body mass index (BMI)
• measure body composition
• assess the pattern of fat distribution
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

9. Determine Your Body Mass Index
• Body mass index (BMI)
• Compares a person's weight to his or her
height
• Gives an indication of a person's overall
health
• BMI values below 18.5 or above 30 indicate
increased risks of health problems.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

10. Measuring Body Mass Index (BMI)
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

11. Measure Your Body Composition
• Body composition
• Measurement of body fat and lean body mass
• Can be measured by:
• underwater weighing
• skinfold measurements
• bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA)
• dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DX)
• Bod Pod
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

12. Assess Your Fat Distribution Patterns
• Fat distribution pattern
• Measured by waist-to-hip ratio
• Apple-shaped fat patterning: upper body
obesity
• Increased risk for chronic diseases
• Pear-shaped fat patterning: lower body
obesity
• No significant increased risk for chronic diseases
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

13. Fat Distribution Patterns

14. What Makes Us Gain or Lose Weight?
• Whether a person gains or loses weight
depends on:
• energy intake vs. energy expenditure
• genetic factors
• childhood weight
• behavioral factors
• social factors
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

15. Energy Balance
• Energy balance
• Occurs when energy intake = energy
expenditure
• Energy intake = kcal from food
• Energy expenditure = energy expended at
rest, during physical activity, and as a result
of eating food
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

16. Energy Imbalance: Weight Loss
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

17. Energy Imbalance: Weight Gain
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

18. Energy Balance: Weight Maintenance
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

19. Energy Output From All Sources
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
• Energy expended to maintain basal, or
resting, functions of the body
• Basal metabolism is the highest proportion of
total energy expenditure.
• More lean tissue increases your BMR.
• BMR decreases with age.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

20. Energy Output From All Sources
• Thermic effect of food
• Energy expended for the body to process food
• Total energy expenditure =
• basal metabolic rate
• plus thermic effect of food
• plus energy cost of physical activity
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

21. Factors Influencing BMR

23. How Many Kilocalories Do You Need?
• The most accurate way to determine your
energy needs:
• Calculate your BMR.
• BMR = (weight in pounds / 2.2) x 24
• Factor in your activity level.
• No activity: multiply BMR by 1.2
• Moderate activity: multiply BMR by 1.5
• Intense activity: multiply BMR by 1.75

25. Genetic Factors Affect Body Weight
• Nongenetic, environmental factors account for
10–50% of BMI.
• Different ideas have been suggested to explain
the impact of genetics on body fat.
• FTO gene
• Thrifty gene theory
• Set-point theory
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

26. Genetic Factors Affect Body Weight
• FTO Gene
• Fat mass and obesity-associated gene
• Stimulates excessive food intake
• May diminish feelings of satiety
• Physical activity may reduce the influence of
FTO.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

27. Genetic Factors Affect Body Weight
• Thrifty gene theory
• Proposes that a gene (or genes) causes
people to be energetically thrifty
• Proposes that people with this gene expend
less energy than other people and therefore
gain weight
• A "thrifty gene" has not been identified.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

28. Genetic Factors Affect Body Weight
• Set-point theory
• Proposes that each person's weight stays
within a small range (set point)
• The body compensates for changes in energy
balance and keeps a person's weight at his or
her set point.
• Long-term changes to diet and physical
activity may change the set point.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

29. Physiologic Factors Affect Body Weight
• Leptin, a protein hormone produced by
adipose cells, reduces food intake.
• Some people may be leptin resistant.
• Ghrelin is a protein synthesized in the
stomach that acts like a hormone and plays a
key role in appetite regulation.
• Cholecystokinin (CCK) promotes satiety.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

30. Physiologic Factors Affect Body Weight
• Neuropeptide Y produced in hypothalmaus
decreases satiety.
• Uncoupling proteins are found in cells'
mitochondria and may play a role in energy
production.
• Found in brown adipose tissue
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

31. Cultural and Economic Factors
• Cultural factors affect our food choices.
• Religious beliefs, learned food preferences,
and food-related values
• Cultural factors promote inactivity.
• Economic status is related to health status.
• Does eating healthful always have to be more
expensive?
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

32. Social Factors
• Social factors influencing our diet include:
• family or cultural traditions
• holidays and celebrations
• easy access to high-fat foods
• less physically active lifestyles
• societal expectations of the "perfect" body

• application of behavior modification
techniques

• eating frequently throughout the day
• maintaining a balanced diet, limiting fat intake
to 25–35% of total energy intake
• avoiding tobacco products
• regular exercise with resistance training

52. Disordered Eating: Are You At Risk?
• Eating disorders are not the same as disordered
eating.
• Disordered eating: variety of abnormal or
atypical eating behaviors used to reduce
weight

eventually leading to severe nutrient
deficiency
• Bulimia nervosa: eating disorder
characterized by extreme overeating followed
by behaviors to prevent weight gain
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

54. Disordered Eating: Are You At Risk?
• Body image: the way you perceive your body
• People's attitudes toward eating and body image
occur on a continuum from normal eating/full
body acceptance, to disordered eating/total lack
of body acceptance.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

55. Disordered Eating: Are You At Risk?
• Multiple factors may contribute to the
development of an eating disorder.
• Family environment
• Unrealistic media images

56. Anorexia Nervosa
• Anorexia nervosa: serious, potentially life-
threatening eating disorder in which unhealthful
behaviors are used to maintain a very low body
weight
• 0.3%–3.7% of U.S. females will develop
anorexia.
• At least 4% of females with anorexia will die
from complications.
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

57. Anorexia Nervosa
• Symptoms
• Extremely restrictive eating practices
• Self-starvation

food by vomiting, laxatives, fasting, excessive
exercise, or other means
© 2016 Pearson Education, Inc.

average twice a week or more, and is usually not
followed by purging, often resulting in significant
weight gain.
