PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -the body’s set point is the point at which an individual’s “weight thermostat” is supposedly set. When the body falls below this weight, an increase in hunger and a lowered metabolic rate may act to restore the lost weight.

Detailed explanation-2: -We all have an internal thermostat that regulates our weight. This “thermostat” works by increasing the metabolism when the body begins to gain weight or when we eat excessive calories. The “thermostat” is turned down and the metabolism is slowed when we lose weight or go through a starvation period (hello dieting!)

Detailed explanation-3: -When an organism’s weight falls below its set point, the organism is likely to experience a(n): increase in hunger and a decrease in its metabolic rate.

Detailed explanation-4: -An average man has a BMR of around 7, 100 kJ per day, while an average woman has a BMR of around 5, 900 kJ per day. Energy expenditure is continuous, but the rate varies throughout the day. The rate of energy expenditure is usually lowest in the early morning.

Detailed explanation-5: -Set point is a certain weight under which our bodies start to trying to gain it back; usually we become hungrier and our metabolism slows down. Basal metabolic rate measure of the measure of the quantity of energy spent while our bodies are resting.
