- A.

- B.

Uncontrolled Met B refers to uncontrolled metabolic syndrome, a condition characterized by a cluster of risk factors that increase the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and other health issues. Insulin plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, and when insulin is uncontrolled, it can lead to insulin resistance, impaired glucose metabolism, and ultimately the development and progression of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, the correct answer is insulin.

It is best to stop eating after dinner as food consumed after dinner "goes straight to fat."
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
This statement is false. The idea that food consumed after dinner goes straight to fat is a common misconception. The body's metabolism works continuously, breaking down and utilizing the nutrients from food throughout the day and night. The key factor in weight gain is the overall calorie intake and expenditure, rather than the specific timing of meals. It is important to maintain a balanced diet and portion control rather than focusing solely on the time of day when eating.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
The statement implies that losing 10 more pounds than expected fat loss at the end of the 8th week on Step 1 is fantastic and a reason for celebration. However, this is not necessarily true. Losing weight too quickly can be unhealthy and unsustainable. It is important to set realistic goals and aim for a steady and gradual weight loss. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

It's best to drink your 64 ounces water/decaf before 6PM so you don't have to wake up during the night to pee.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Drinking 64 ounces of water or decaf before 6PM does not guarantee that you won't have to wake up during the night to urinate. The need to urinate during the night can be influenced by various factors such as individual bladder capacity, fluid intake throughout the day, and other medical conditions. Therefore, the statement is not entirely accurate, making the answer "False."

Rate this question:
10.

If you exercise 20 minutes in the AM after breakfast and 40 minutes in the PM after dinner, it counts as 60 minutes of exercise/day and may be more beneficial than 60 minutes done at one time.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
Exercising for 20 minutes in the morning after breakfast and 40 minutes in the evening after dinner adds up to a total of 60 minutes of exercise per day. This statement suggests that this distribution of exercise throughout the day may be more beneficial than doing 60 minutes of exercise all at once. This is because exercising after meals can help with digestion and metabolism, and breaking up the exercise into two sessions may help maintain energy levels and prevent fatigue. Therefore, the statement is true.

Rate this question:

- A.
  
  Stevia
- B.
  
  Nutrasweet
- C.
  
  Sucralose
- D.
  
  Splenda
Correct Answer
B. Nutrasweet

Explanation
Nutrasweet is not recommended for use on MM/DM because it contains aspartame, which can be harmful for individuals with these conditions. Aspartame has been known to cause adverse reactions in some people, including headaches, dizziness, and digestive issues. Therefore, it is advisable for individuals with MM/DM to avoid using Nutrasweet as a sweetener and opt for alternatives like stevia, sucralose, or Splenda.

- C.
  
  Save up the 5 gram counters and have 3 of them with dinner
- D.
  
  At bedtime
Correct Answer(s)
A. With breakfast
D. At bedtime

Explanation
The 5 gram counter can be taken with breakfast to start the day with a small amount of energy. It can also be taken at bedtime to provide a little boost before sleeping. Both of these options allow for the counter to be consumed at times when the body may benefit from a small amount of extra fuel.

When reading a food label, subtract fiber and sugar grams from total carbohydrate grams to find net carb grams
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
When reading a food label, it is incorrect to subtract fiber and sugar grams from total carbohydrate grams to find net carb grams. The correct way to calculate net carbs is by subtracting only the fiber grams from the total carbohydrate grams. Sugar grams should not be subtracted as they are already included in the total carbohydrate count.

- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The statement suggests that it is not necessary to reweigh or remeasure until after the 8th week of Step 1. This implies that there is a specific process or plan in place, possibly related to weight loss or fitness goals. The statement also mentions comparing the number obtained after the 8th week to the expected fat loss, indicating that there is an expected outcome or target that needs to be achieved. Overall, the statement emphasizes the importance of waiting until a specific time point and comparing results to expected goals.
