Question 6

Which of the following is considered a healthy eating practice?

Accepted Answer

Paying attention to portion sizes is considered a healthy eating practice as it helps in maintaining a balanced diet and managing weight. Trying not to pay attention to the color, taste, or smell of food can lead to missing out on important nutrients and eating the same exact foods every day is not recommended as it may lead to nutrient deficiencies. Eating quickly is also not considered a healthy eating practice as it may lead to overeating and indigestion.

Question 7

You have a friend who is obsessed with dieting and exercise. She avoids going out to dinner with others because she fears she will overeat. She exercises up to three times a day sometimes and is constantly worried about gaining weight. Your friend most likely has which of the following conditions?

Accepted Answer

Your friend's behavior is indicative of disordered eating patterns, which can include an obsession with food and body image, fear of weight gain, and restrictive eating and excessive exercise. However, without further evaluation from a healthcare professional, it is not possible to diagnose a specific eating disorder.

Question 8

Which of the following can help you to achieve success in healthy weight management?

Accepted Answer

Being specific about your personal health goals helps to create a clear and realistic plan for achieving them. A and C are not helpful as working out alone and eating as little as possible are not necessarily effective or healthy weight management strategies. D is also not helpful as setting unrealistic expectations may lead to disappointment and a lack of motivation.

Question 9

Jeremy feels ashamed about how much he eats. Often he will eat a huge amount of food but will throw it up later in order not to gain weight. Jeremy most likely suffers from which of the following conditions?

Accepted Answer

Jeremy's behavior of eating large amounts of food and then purging in order to avoid weight gain is a hallmark symptom of bulimia nervosa. Binge-eating disorder involves episodes of binge-eating without purging, while anorexia nervosa involves restrictive eating behavior without bingeing or purging.

What is one problem with using the Body Mass Index?

Accepted Answer

The Body Mass Index does not take into account muscle mass, which means that someone with a lot of muscle mass and very little body fat could be classified as overweight or obese according to their BMI.
