  5. General Information Individuals participating in a non-medically based supervised weight loss program should reduce their caloric intake by 500 to 1000 calories per day, and reduce their dietary fat intake to less than 30 percent of their total caloric intake. To prevent a reduction in metabolic rate, individuals need to eat at least 1,200 calories per day.

  6. General Information An intake of additional calories (regardless if from protein, carbohydrate or fat) above an average individual's daily requirement will result in a conversion to fat and stored as triglyceride.

  11. Appetite The stomach produces a hormone called ghrelin. Grhelin stimulates appetite, decreases energy expenditure and increases energy storage Ghrelin levels typically increase prior to a meal and decrease after a meal Obese individuals tend to produce lower amounts of grhelin – possibly because their bodies are constantly in an energy surplus situation

  12.
