Monica has been trying to lose weight for about a year. Throughout the past year she has educated herself on the guidelines of good nutrition and exercise

Despite knowing that she needs to change her lifestyle, she is frustrated with her inability to lose weight and wants to “jumpstart” her weight loss.

She ends up overeating, eating out of balance, and ceasing to exercise. Her most recent diet is as follows: day 1: fruits only, day 2: vegetables only, day 3: fruits and vegetables only, day 4: 6 bananas and milk, days 5 and 6: tomatoes only, day 7: eat whatever you want.

She is likely to lose weight. B. She is likely to gain weight. C. She will not lose any weight. D. Her weight will plateau.
