DEFINITION: • A mental picture a person has of her/his own physical appearance as well as the associated attitudes and feelings toward one’s own body and how one thinks others see her/his body.

  16. Set point theory

  17. Set point theory • Substantial evidence suggests that genetics plays a significant role in determining body weight and shape. • Individuals have a genetically predetermined weight range which the body tries to defend. • DEFINITION: Set-point is the stable weight range that the body maintains when one is not trying to control it. • In most people, set-point fluctuates between 5 and 10 pounds (at least). • Cannot be permanently lowered through restrictive dieting. • Explains why people regain the weight they lose when on calorie reduced diets.

  18. Set point theory • Similar to the regulation of body temperature. • When the body gets too hot, it reacts by sweating to reduce its temperature. • When the body gets too cold, it reacts by shivering to reduce surface heat loss. • The body maintains an individual’s set-point weight range in a similar way. • If an individual is below or above her/his set-point weight range her/his body will undergo physiological and emotional changes to restore itself to within the range.

  19. Body types

  20. Body types • There are many body types, but they can be summed up into three basic types. • Endomorph: * soft, round body with hips * average to large frame * have a higher proportion of body fat * broad hips with high hourglass waistline and curved prominent belly * small bones and little muscular development or definition

  21. Body types • Ectomorph: * long, lean body * narrow, short torso * very long, slim legs and arms * frame is light with little muscle or fat * delicate bones, poorly developed or defined muscles * usually thin * may be able to eat large amounts of food without gaining weight

  22. Body types • Mesomorph: * broad shouldered and narrow hips * body is muscular * large bones and heavy muscle can give higher body weights * strong and muscular * chest and shoulder dominant over stomach * low waistline with less indentation than endomorph * sturdy, athletic body

  23. Body types • Most of our bodies are a blend of these 3 basic types. • Body types are based on distribution of bone, muscle and fat (not weight). • Understanding your body type will help you to develop a realistic body image for yourself.
