Assignment: Personal Choices

Some fad weight-loss diets include pills that are believed to speed up the body's metabolism to help a person lose weight quickly. Other diets rely on low calorie intake for rapid weight loss. However, such methods can lead to destructive metabolic processes in the body, causing organ failure.

Your task is to research and describe a particular weight-loss method that targets the body's metabolism. Use the appropriate scientific concepts to explain how metabolic processes are affected and how this results in weight loss. Also include the possible risks to the individual associated with that particular method and the impact this may have on society. Investigate the costs to the medical system.

Finally, based on your research, suggest why it is important to know how the body's cells will react to the introduction of new substances or the removal of other substances related to a particular diet.
