Metabolism: The rate at which your body uses energy.

Fad Diets: are eating plans that are trending. Meaning they come and go as celebrities or fashions do.

Sleep What happens when you don’t get

enough sleep one night? Imagine you got three less hours of sleep

each night for a week, for a month? How would you feel?What can you predict would happen?

What would happen if you were finally allowed to sleep as long as your wanted?

Thirst Think about a time you were really

thirsty, but you couldn’t have a drink right away? What happens? What did you experience?

What if it was worse than this? What if someone told you that, no matter how thirsty you are, you could only have ½ the amount of liquid you wanted? How would you feel?

Dehydration Is what happens when a person does not

have as much fluid as their body needs.

If you were dehydrated but finally could drink as much as you wanted, someone might ask “Why are you drinking so much?” How would you answer?

What can you predict would happen when you were allowed to drink again?

THE AIR DIETYou all have been breathing too much! You could benefit from the “Air Diet”. You know the latest style is to have a bluish tone to your skin, and your cheeks are just too rosy! Since oxygen is what gives your cheeks that rosy glow, you would be better looking if you cut back on your air so your face coloring would be more drab. Of course, you need some air to live. But surely you could cut back. And won’t it be worth it to have the “right look”?

Air Diet continued… What were you thinking about when you

were on your air diet? Were you able to focus on what I was

reading? How did you feel when your air was

limited? How did you feel when you could

breathe freely?

When our basic needs aren’t met… All humans will respond in predictable

ways when our needs aren’t met. After our discussion, what do you think the expected consequences are of need deprivation?

Expect these things to happen every time… We persistently think about what is missing

(sleep, water, air, warmth, food) It is hard to concentrate or stay focused on

anything else. There is a powerful craving to satisfy the

need. Until satisfied, the craving is very

uncomfortable. When need is finally met, more than the

normal amount is needed to make up for what was missing.

The Diet Dilemma Considering all that we’ve spoken about

what are some of the predictable things that would happen if we began to restrict or limit our food intake for weight loss?

Think about it… Using what you’ve learned today, try to

predict why diets aren’t an effective way to manage one’s weight?

Metabolism The number of calories your body needs

while at rest. The rate at which your body uses

energy. More active individuals have a higher

metabolism.
