Answer to Question 1

1
To reduce body weight by 10 for a person with a BMI of 30 would be to lose 1 to 2 lbs each week. The other amounts of weekly weight loss might lead to nutritional disorders.

Answer to Question 2

The hypothalamus is considered the major regulating organ of the body because it is the connection between the nervous system and the endocrine system. The other organs take direction from the hypothalamus through the central nervous system.
