Answer to Question 1

B
Cycles of weight loss and regain result in loss of sensitivity to physiologic hunger cues. The body's ability to metabolize body fat is unaffected. Usually individuals who lose and regain weight feel loss of control rather than empowerment. Weight cycling does not generally affect hormone balance.
