Question 2

Briefly describe the following theories for the cause of obesity: (a) fat cell development. and (b) set-point theory​

Accepted Answer

Fat cell development: excess energy is stored in fat cells and obesity results when a person's fat cells increase in number, size, or both. After fat cells reach their maximum size, more fat cells can develop to store more fat; however, these newly developed fat cells will not be lost with weight loss, only shrunk. Set-point theory: proposes that the body physiologically regulates body weight as it does body temperature. The body chooses a preferred body weight and strives to maintain it by regulating eating behaviors and hormone actions.​
