An actual LSAT Question:
Frequently, people who diet to lose weight become trapped in a vicious cycle. When those people diet, they not only lose weight, but their bodies becme used to fewer calories and become accustomed to functioning at that lower rate of caloric intake. As a result, when they stop dieting and go back to eating amounts of food that would have just maintained their weight in the days before the diet, they take in far more calories than they need. Those ecess calories produce excess weight.
The passage above best supports whihc one of the following conclusions about people who diet to lose weight?
(a) They are bound to end up weighin more than when they started dieting.
(b) They should not diet if they desire to maintain their reduced weight.
(c) They must not go back to eating pre-diet amounts of food if they are to maintain their weight at the reduced level resulting from dieting.
(d) They will have to eat even less than the amount of food allowed by their diets if they are to avoid gaining weight after they stop dieting.
(e) They never can go back to their pre-diet caloric intake without regaining all of the weight lost by dieting.
I’m going with C. Do I win? If so, my prize should be you commenting on my blog for a change. I don’t think this was a real LSAT question though.
yea, i don’t think this is a real LSAT question…i would go with (b)…but i’m not sure…
i don’t believe in diets. part of a program to lose weight should be a diet, yes, but that should not be the only nor the major point. to lose weight you need to change your lifestyle.
