Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that sustained dieting can lead to a lower resting metabolic rate, meaning the body burns fewer calories at rest. While decreasing calorie intake can lead to weight loss, it can also slow down the body's metabolism and potentially make it harder to maintain weight loss in the long run. Factors such as genetics and the body's set point for weight can also play a role in weight loss and weight management. Increased blood glucose levels and decreased feelings of hunger may occur in the short term, but are not supported as long-term effects of sustained dieting.
