Question

Anna Nicole weighed about 125 pounds most of her adult life. However, it seemed like whenever Anna Nicole gained weight it was easy to lose and get back to 125. But when she wanted to go below 125 it took forever, and even the slightest deviation from her diet got her back to 125. What explanation would you give Anna Nicole?

a) Use better diet products.
b) Start a reality TV show.
c) Her weight, 125, is her set point. Leave it alone.
d) Her BMR is not tied to her set point.

Answer 1

Answer: C.) Her weight, 125, is her set point. Leave it alone

Explanation: Based on information given above, it could be inferred that Anna Nicole's weight set point is 125, which means the her baseline weight is 125 which must have been ingrained in her. This is evidenced by the the usual fallback she experiences whenever she tries to lose or gain weight lower or higher than the her base weight of 125 respectively. The weight of 125 could be said to have been attached to her DNA and as such the level of fat and other weight contributing factors cannot go below a certain threshold or propel above a certain tether unless in very extreme cases. Therefore Anna Nicole should just let go as he weight set point is 125.
