Document Summary
We need food, growth and too feel well if we are deprived of something we don t feel normal. They are necessities for us to maintain life. Well-being is maintained and enhanced so we feel good. If your need is neglected or frustrated it will produce damage and disrupts well being. Three physiological needs: hunger, sex and thirst. Take about three years for your weight to be satisfied. 15- 18% gain back their weight since people get discouraged and their body slows down. People exercise to a certain point, which is how they lose it in the first place. Overweight people are more sensitive to certain ques, even smell. Overweight people will eat even thought they already ate, but normal people may not eat after a large meal. In the united states 60% of people are overweight. Because eating is such a important function for maintaining life, our body through evolution has adjusted and we have feedbacks.
