Read the following text, and identify the phrase that uses Technique F1 (Say what you’re gonna say before you say it).

Sweeting AN et al Diabetes Care 2016
Now select which of the following phrases from the text makes use of Technique F1.
Which is the phrase that hints at the topic of the next part of the text?
Read the following text and keep watch for Technique F1 (Say what you’re gonna say before you say it).
Short sleep duration is linked to an increased risk for developing obesity, and robust evidence indicates that this primarily involves increased calorie intake. For instance, recurrent sleep restriction in men increases 24-h food intake and induces subjective preferences for high calorie foods. Fittingly, we show that total sleep deprivation increased hunger feelings as well as appetite, especially for calorie-dense foods, which could reflect a behavior to compensate for the significantly increased energy expenditure (7%) induced by total sleep background. Against this background, the enhanced hedonic activity in response to food images may represent a mechanism subserving the brain’s energy restoration after total sleep deprivation.
Now select which of the following phrases from the text makes use of Technique F1.
Try working backwards: read the text from the last sentence to the first sentence. When you reach a sentence where you think ‘Hey, they’ve written about this concept later in the text’, then THAT is the phrase that uses Technique F1, because it tells the reader what is coming next.
Read the following text, keeping your eyes peeled for Technique F1 (Say what you’re gonna say before you say it).
This study has several strengths and weaknesses. It benefits from the incorporation of a large panel of hormones and the rigor with which the weight stabilization was conducted. As this study only included males, future studies involving female participants may be required to determine whether similar changes in hormones across this time period occur in this group. A further limitation of the study is the length and sampling times of the 4-week energy balance diet. Increasing the sampling duration and frequency may inform as to the shortest necessary weight maintenance period for insulin and leptin.
Sainsbury A et al Clinical Obesity 2015
Now use the space below to re-write the phrase that makes use of Technique F1.
If you had to summarize this text into a few words, what would those words be? Now find a phrase early in the text that mentions the concept encapsulated by those words.
Read the following text, and look out for Technique F1 in action (Say what you’re gonna say before you say it).
The steadily increasing use of assisted reproductive technology (ART) has allowed millions of infertile couples to have children. There are concerns regarding the potential consequences of ART on the long-term health of the offspring, but there is little information. Here, we show that healthy children and adolescents conceived by ART display marked vascular dysfunction of the systemic and pulmonary circulation. This problem does not appear to be related to parental factors or hormonal stimulation of ovulation in the mother but to the ART procedure itself.
Scherrer U et al Circulation 2012
Now select which of the following phrases from the text makes use of Technique F1.
Look at what concepts are being talked about in the latter parts of the text, and see if you can see any phrases in the earlier parts of the text that summarize those concepts.
Read the following text, and while you’re reading, identify the phrase that makes use of Technique F1 (Say what you’re gonna say before you say it).
One potential treatment for the metabolic syndrome is glycyrrhizic acid (GA), which is the primary bioactive constituent of liquorice, obtained from the root of the Glycyrrhiza glabra shrub. Our research has indicated various benefits of GA consumption in rats fed on either a high-fat or high sucrose diet (HSD). These benefits include reductions in circulating concentrations of glucose and insulin, enhanced insulin sensitivity, improved circulating lipid profiles, and favourable alterations in the expression of genes and activity of enzymes involved in lipid metabolism and energy balance. The dose of GA required to bring about metabolic benefits depends on the duration and route of administration, as previously reviewed.
