Post the following:
In the first line of your post, identify which diet you selected.
In 1 paragraph, describe the brain basis of eating behaviors. (e.g., brain regions that promote eating and satiety, neurotransmitters, and associated hormones, etc.) associated with the diet.
Briefly explain the premise of the diet you selected (how it works) and how that diet impacts biological factors influencing eating behavior, metabolism, weight loss, or weight gain.
Based on the findings of the related article you selected, explain whether or not the diet is likely to be an effective method for weight loss and why.
Considering what you have learned about the biological basis of eating behavior and metabolism, explain one piece of advice you would give Morgan about dieting and maintaining weight loss.
Note: Your initial response should be substantive and supported with scholarly evidence from your research and/or the Learning Resources and properly cited in APA format. You may state your opinion and/or provide personal examples; however, you must also back up your assertions with evidence, including in-text citation(s) and reference(s) in APA style.
