The client is a body builder and has noticed a decrease in muscle mass and a decrease in libido. Which of the following scenarios is most likely?
1. Carbohydrate restriction 2. Fat restriction 3. Protein restriction 4. Use of ergogenic aids
2
Rationale: A common practice among body builders is to restrict fat intake to decrease body fat levels. However, this can lead to decreased growth and development in younger athletes, deficiency of essential fats, low levels of reproductive hormones, and decreased muscle mass. Athletes do not typically restrict carbohydrate levels or protein levels. The use of ergogenic aids is associated with stimulation of the central nervous system and would not produce these symptoms.
