What is mental or verbal statements made to one’s self that reinforce negative or destructive self-perceptions?

What is the pattern of fat distribution on the body?

What is the portion of the body exclusive of stored fat, including muscle, bone, connective tissue, organs, and water?

What is the total of the Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE), energy used in physical activity, and energy used in processing food (TEF); usually expressed in kilocalories per day?

What is an internal cue which tells you when you have had enough to eat?

What is the absence of all metabolic and biochemical risk factors associated with obesity?

What is a method to estimate body fat by measuring with calipers the thickness of a fold of skin and subcutaneous fat?

What is an internal cue which represents the length of time that satiation lasts and generally tells you when you are ready to eat again?

What is a behavioral model that includes the external and internal events that precede and follow the behavior. This involves antecedents and the events that precede the behavior, followed by consequences that positively or negatively reinforce the behavior?

Constructive mental or verbal statements made to one’s self to change a belief or behavior are called what?

What kind of eaters are individuals who routinely consume a very large amount of food in a brief period of time (e.g., two hours) and lose control over how much and what is eaten?

Individuals who routinely avoid food as long as possible and then gorge on food are called?
