   might at first have an increased level of cholesterol in his

   Why this is right

   This rewards our understanding that if a low-cal / low-cholesterol diet succeeds in helping a person lose weight, then the person's fat cells will dump cholesterol into the bloodstream, creating an uptick in the level of cholesterol in the blood. This answer is very safely worded: - they might (reflecting that people on these diets will not necessarily lose weight) - at first (reflecting that the uptick in blood cholesterol caused by the shrinking fat cells is still offset by lower cholesterol in their diet)

   will not lose weight any faster than will a person whose diet is

   We don't know anything about a diet high in calories, but this answer certainly offends our common sense. This answer is saying that someone on a high calorie diet will lose weight at least as fast as will someone on a low calorie diet.

   Unsupported Comparison1% picked this

   might lose more weight by going on a low calorie, high-cholesterol diet than by going on

   We don't know anything about a low cal / high cholesterol diet. Our common sense would tell us that it's less healthy than a low cal / low cholesterol diet, because we know that calories and cholesterol are not particularly good for us (in any degree of excess). So we have no support for the notion that someone would lose more weight by eating more cholesterol.

   Opposite, if anything3% picked this

   will not decrease the size of his or her

   Since we think that people going on a low-cal / low cholesterol diet might lose weight, and since losing weight causes the fat cells to decrease in size, we would assume that many people who go on this diet will decrease the size of their fat cells.

   Double Opposite1% picked this

   will both decrease the level of cholesterol in his or her blood

   We think that going on this diet will lead to lower weight and potentially more cholesterol (because of fat cells spilling it into the bloodstream).
