A client is concerned about losing weight after joining a gym. Which response should the nurse make to this client?
a. "When you exercise you always lose weight."
b. "You were overweight to begin with so don't worry unless it becomes a problem."
c. "Eat a couple of candy bars before you exercise to give you extra energy and maintain your weight."
d. "Exercise requires extra energy and extra calories, so to maintain your weight you will need to eat more."
d. "Exercise requires extra energy and extra calories, so to maintain your weight you will need to eat more."
Exercise increases the energy demands and calories utilized by the body. If additional calories are not consumed to compensate for the increased use the result will be a weight deficit. Although a person may lose weight when exercising regularly, weight is also determined by the number of calories consumed. One of the benefits of exercise in overweight people is weight loss. Although dense in calories, candy quickly metabolized in the body and is not a long-lasting energy source.
