Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The concept of a set point theory means that the body has a weight range that it naturally maintains without effort. For Anna Nicole, this seemed to be around 125 pounds. Going below this weight could be difficult as her body may have been resisting this change and trying to regain the weight back to the set point. Therefore, the best explanation for Anna Nicole's experience is that her weight, 125, is her set point, and she should leave it alone. Options A and B are not relevant, and D may be a contributing factor, but not the best explanation for her experience.
