Explanation:

• For question 4: Metabolism is the process where the body breaks down substances and gets energy from food. Eating is just the act of taking in food. BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight. Overeating is consuming more food than needed.
• For question 5: A safe and reasonable rate of weight loss is generally \(1/2 - 1\) lb/week. Losing 1 lb/day (\(7\) lb/week) is too rapid and can be unhealthy. \(5\) lb/week is also excessive. \(1 - 2\) lb/year is an extremely slow rate.

Answer:

1. metabolism
2. \(1/2 - 1\) lb/week
