Ben went to see his doctor for his annual physical exam. After the physical exam
was completed his doctor told Ben that he was slightly overweight. His doctor
suggested that he should think about making some changes in his diet to lose about
10 pounds and decrease his bodyfat percentage. Ben likes to eat fast food about
once a day, and also consumes a lot of food that is high in sugars and carbohydrates,
Should Ben consider cutting the fast food from his diet? Could including more
protein in his diet and decreasing his carbohydrate intake help him to lose weight?
Does he need to completely change his diet or could small changes in his eating
habits accomplish his goal of losing weight over time?
