Question

Jackie noticed an increase in appetite after she started weight training. Since she did not change her eating habits, her body fat began to drop. Why did this happen?

A.
Weight training slows the metabolism in order to allow muscles to grow and repair. This causes fat loss.
B.
Even though Jackie says she did not change her eating habits, she must have consumed fewer calories, causing her weight to drop.
C.
When Jackie is exercising she does not have time to eat. This, combined with the calories burned during exercise, must have been enough to cause her body fat to drop.
D.
As muscle mass increases, so does metabolism. A higher metabolism burns more fat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Metabolism is the method by which your body changes what you eat and drink into energy. When this complicated biochemical process, calories in food and liquors are mixed with oxygen to discharge the energy your body needs to perform. Metabolism changes the fuel in the food we eat into the energy required to power everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing. Special proteins in the body regulate the chemical reactions of metabolism, and each chemical reaction is correlated with other body functions.
