Weight control is one of those subjects where terminology is a bit casual.
In every case, one has to refer to the definition which the writer has adopted to find the exact intent of many terms. Generally, in practice, the differences may be subtle and not of too great an import.
For exams, though, it can come down to pendantry if you want to get a mark or zero for the question.
