Question

It is impossible to use set point theory to predict anything about the results of bariatric surgery. c. It will not result in long term weight loss because the body will resist change and seek its initial set point. d. It will result in successful weight loss for men but not for women because men have a lower set point.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

c. It will not result in long term weight loss because the body will resist change and seek its initial set point.

The set point theory states that a person's body will fight to maintain its weight range. Set point is the set weight range in which a person's body is made to function properly.
