43
What is our major determinate of resting metabolic rate (rmr)?
Lean body mass (muscle mass)
44
Explain relationship between RMR , calories burnt and muscle mass
Calories we burn at rest, depends largely on how much muscle mass we have so the more muscle mass we have the faster our metabolism is. Similarly as our muscle mass decreases the resting, metabolic rate decreases.
45
Lean body mass ________ with exercise, and __________ with.
Increase, decrease
46
What particular exercise increases lean body mass?
Weight training
47
Why is it hard to manage weight with age?
Resting metabolic rate decreases with lean body mass
48

All the fat we need to survive. Protection of organs Reproduction
49
What is storage fat? Purpose ?
Fat under our skin ⚬ Subcutaneous ⚬ Visceral ⚬ White adipose tissue ⚬ Brown adipose tissue
50
explain why women have a much higher percentage of body fat compared to men
Women have higher amounts of essential fat due to reproduction function
51
Essential fat percentage in female and male
Women, 12% Men 3%
52
Total fat
18% to 24% men 25% to 31% women
53
Women have lower ______ compared to men and slightly lower _________ then men, which explains why women in general have a lower __________ than men
Muscle mass; bone mass; resting metabolic rate
54
Adipose tissue. Composition.
White adipose tissue Brown adipose tissue Adipocytes
55
What is white adipose tissue?
Fat tissue that makes up the majority of fat in the body
56
White adipose tissue functions
Energy storage Oregon protection Insulation
57
Brown adipose tissue facts
Burns energy Adults have little brown Higher amount of brown adipose tissue, the more weight you’re going to burn
58
What is the difference between brown and white adipose tissue?
White adipose, tissues, stores energy, and brown adipose tissue burns energy
59
What is hyperplasia of adipocytes
Increase the number of fat cells
60
What is hypertrophy of adipocytes
Increase in the size of fat cells
61
How does weight gain affect adipocytes
Hyperplasia and hypertrophy the increase in the number of fat cells, and the fat cells increase in size
62
How does weight loss affect adipocytes
Only hypertrophy a curse. Once you’ve gained a significant amount of weight, you never be able to get rid of your fat cells, you can only decrease them in size.
63
What is the progression of adipocytes during weight game?
Adipocytes increase in number, then increase in size, then increase in number, then increase in size again
64
Weight loss strategies: FAD diet modifications
- high protein diet - low carnohydrate diet - very low fat diet - volumetrics - intermittent fasting
65
Weight loss strategies: FAD diet modifications: high protein diet
⚬ 40-45% kcals from CHO ⚬ 25-30% kcals from pro ⚬ ~30% kcals from fat - preserve lean body mass - no spike in blood sugar - more satiating than carb - strain on the kidney, dehydration, inc CVD/cancer/ kidney stones
66
Weight loss strategies: FAD diet modifications: low carbohydrate diet
⚬ <10-20% kcals from CHO ⚬ 55-65% kcals from fat - body will shift to use of ketones/fat for fuel - must be extremely low calorie - slow process for fuel - ketosis, acidosis, poor microbiome - hard to sustain and regain weight - water loss - prevent heart disease - reverse plaque build up in arteries - less calories - might eat more carbs
67
Weight loss strategies: FAD diet modifications: very low fat diet
⚬ <10-20% kcals from fat ⚬ 10-20% kcals from pro ⚬ 60-80% kcals from CHO
68
Weight loss strategies: FAD diet modifications: volumetircs
20-30% of kcals from fat ⚬ 15-20% of kcals from pro ⚬ 55-60% kcals from CHO ⚬ Focus on energy density - greater volume of nutrient dense foods
69
Weight loss strategies: FAD diet modifications: intermittent fasting
⚬ Alternate-day fasting ⚬ Modified fasting ⚬ Time-restricted fasting -
70
Weight loss strategies of physical activity

DIET PROGRESSION AFTER BARIATRIC SURGERY
- Clear liquids Start within 24 h after surgery. Duration 2–3 meals Sugar-free clear liquids such as water, unsweetened decaffeinated tea, sugar-free gelatin, sugar-free popsicles, broth - Stage 2—Full liquid diet A few days to 1 week Protein drink, fat-free (skim) milk, unsweetened nondairy milk, strained cream soups - Stage 3—Puréed A few weeks to about 1 month Foods that are the consistency of a smooth paste or thick liquid, without any solid pieces. Examples include low-fat cottage cheese, low-fat or fat-free ricotta cheese, blended meats, fish, eggs, beans, fruits, and vegetables - Stage 4—Soft foods About 1 month Ground or finely diced meats, canned or soft fresh fruit, cooked vegetables without skin, eggs, beans - Stage 5—Solid foods Start about 8 weeks post surgery Gradually incorporate firmer, diced, or chopped foods.
