51) Historically, it has been believed that a cumulative energy deficit of 3500 kcal results in a loss of 1 pound of fat. However, new research reveals that this "rule of thumb" does not precisely predict fat weight loss during weeks-to-months of a low-calorie diet. This failure of the "3500 kcal rule" to accurately predict weight loss is due to: A) this rule does not take into account that numerous physiological changes in the body occur during weight loss.

B) the 3500 kcal rule does not consider that weight loss results in a lower resting metabolic rate.

C) 3500 kcal rule does not take into account that the energy cost of physical activity decreases following weight loss.
