A low carb diet can be used to lower the risk of certain diseases, however, experts say that eliminating carbs may have adverse effects on a person's mood. Deciding what to eat depends on your wellness goals and your current health report. Not all foods are high in protein, nonetheless, those that are can be prepared as a tasty meal. It's not uncommon to consume celery, parsley and onions as a part of the preparations for a meal, however, you should stay away from sides resembling corn, macaroni, spaghetti and potatoes. Making the switch can be effortless, however, you should expect and reject the temptation to eat outside of the guidelines, especially in the beginning.

...The Adkin’s Diet How Adkins Works Adkins is a low carb/sugar, high vegetable/protein diet. The goal of the diet is to allow your body to go into ketosis. This occurs when your body stops burning carbs and sugar (glucose) for energy and start burning fat (lipids) reserves. My Personal Experince with Adkins I first earned of the Atkins Diet when I was in my mid-teens (1995ish.) My mother has just been diagnosed a few years prior with type II diabetes and had to start directly on insulin. She heard there was a diet that would allow her to maybe stop taking insulin all together or at least only have to take pills. Being an avid reader and researcher she found the doctor’s book where she learned cutting carbs and sugar from her diet could reduce her dependence on insulin. Being a typical self-absorbed teenager I don’t remember many of the details of her weight loss or what if any medical issues occurred. I do however remember the crazy looks and discussions that occurred when my mom sent me out for fast food and I would ask for a burger without a bun. There are a lot of mouth breathers in the fast food industry, and asking some of these people for this simple request was just too much for them to comprehend. My mom lost over 100 pounds in less than a year, when combined the diet with water aerobics. Because there was way less sugary and carb rich foods in the house I lost a lot of weight also. Looking back at pictures of that time both my mom and I never looked...

...Killing Us Softly Thomas J. Engstrom Western Governors University WGU Student ID# 000529592 Carbohydrates are Killing Us Softly The nutritional dietary consumption of carbohydrates is between 55-75% for the vast majority of the global population as their main source of food intake and energy. And the general populous continues to be misinformed by government agencies regarding what a normal, healthy diet, should be, as well as what a balanced diet looks like. Eating a low-carb high-fat, or ketogenic, diet of high fat, adequate protein and low carbohydrates can provide many health benefits as compared to the alternative of an unhealthy diet. Research suggests that a ketogenic diet builds a healthier body than other diets because it will lead to weight loss, improved blood pressure, and reduce appetites. The ketogenic diet is the foundation for a healthy life. As noted by Dr. Eenfeldt (2014), The ketogenic diet has been referred to by different names, such as: the keto diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat (LCHF), and to some degree the Adkins Diet. The ketogenic diet is a well known diet for being associated with consuming a low amount of carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein and high amount of fat, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy (Taubes, 2008). With a diet high in carbohydrates your body will produce glucose and insulin. Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy, so it will be chosen over other...

...Trans fat on the other hand are considered bad fats. “Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. This is because saturated and unsaturated fats differ in their chemical structures. Saturated fats have no double bond between molecules, which means there are no gaps and the fat is saturated with hydrogen molecules.” (Sheehan) Just like fats, carbs are quite important to regulating the system. They are broken down to simple and complex. Simple carbs are sugars. While some of these occur naturally in milk, most of the simple carbs in the American diet are added to foods. “Complex carbs pack in more nutrients than simple carbs, because they are higher in fiber and digest more slowly. This also makes them more filling, which means they’re a good option for weight control. They are also ideal for people with type 2 diabetes because they help manage post-meal blood sugar...

Prepared under the supervision of Dr. Editha G. Reyes 1. INTRODUCTION The avocado is colloquially known as the Alligator Pear, reflecting its shape and the leather-like appearance of its skin. Avocado is derived from the Aztec word "ahuacatl". Avocados are the fruit from Persea americana, a tall evergreen tree that can grow up to 65 feet in height.

...Channel and Pricing Strategies MKT/571 November 22, 2011 Abstract In week two’s learning team assignment, Team A discussed that Kudler Fine Foods (KFF) planned to bring Swiss chocolates to the Atlanta, Georgia market similar to the one currently in three California markets. This week’s team paper will introduce the product to the international market in the United Kingdom (UK) that include channel and pricing strategies and justify the selection of the market selected. Why the United Kingdom? The entire worth of the chocolate marketplace in Great Britain and the United Kingdom (UK) is presumed to be more than five billion dollars in 2010, as stated by a 2011 article in Marketing Week magazine titled “Appetite for Indulgence Will Sweeten Bitter Pill” (www.marketing.co.uk). Following that, data on the UK chocolate marketplace gets complex, specifically with owners and manufacturers. For instance, the UK natural chocolate marketplace is believed to be the biggest in Europe. Green and Black’s organic chocolate company maintains that they are the Britain’s top organic maker of chocolate. It was created in 1991 and acquired by Cadbury in 2005. Cadbury has been making chocolate since 1824, and was acquired by Kraft foods in the early part of 2010. Nestle, based in Switzerland, and Mars, a private United States company, also lead Great Britain’s massive chocolate marketplace. Other chocolate manufacturers’ products are also accessible...

...The Impact of Media on Nutrition, Body Image, and Public Health Bio 111 Lonnie Burt, MS, RO, CD-N Shannon Oliver March 3, 2012 Draft for Research Paper When it comes to health the first person who is expected to guide nutritional diets should be a healthcare professional. However, over time in lieu of that healthcare professional the television box and magazines have been the guideline to a healthier lifestyle. Not only has these media outlets been a guideline, it has also been an illustration of how the ideal body shape should be. The media has also acted as the source of distraction, distress, and illusions, therefore being counterproductive to the same purpose which it served in the nutritional aspect. The distraction is shown in the obesity rates in children ages 12 and under who are unable to detach themselves from the TV screen, therefore refusing to be active. Distress is shown between the young adults between 12 and 20 battling with anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia. The illusions are counted by the number of diets being falsely advertised to manipulate people into thinking there is a way to lose 30 pounds in 3 weeks. The mass media has an overwhelming effect on our everyday lives because of the power and ubiquity that has been gained over time. The direct correlation between media and nutrition along with body image are shown to effect people through eating disorders, poor nutritional health, and obesity.

...the movie, “Supersize Me”. So you decided a long time ago to go with artificial sweeteners and after a while you didn’t even notice the difference between the two. You get zero calories and sometimes zero carbs and both taste buds and body are happy. It is a win-win situation. Not so fast. Drinking excessive amounts of diet soda may increase the risk of disease; therefore we should drink healthy drinks instead of artificially sweetened beverages. Disease and Health Risks Diet soda is harmful and produces dangerous side effects. Heavy diet drinkers may increase their risk of serious diseases. A new study by US researchers links diet soda to increased risk of vascular events (including ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, which is caused by rupture of a weakened blood vessel), though reasons are still unclear. The scientists said people who drank diet soda every day had a 61 per cent higher risk of vascular events than those who did not. Does this mean that there's something in diet sodas that hurts our blood vessels? Nobody knows the answer to that question yet. Investigators say, among other things, caramel, the ingredient that gives diet sodas the dark color, has been linked to vascular issues (India Today, 2011). Although the data and research is still fairly new evidence points to more harmful results rather than healthy. Weight Loss or Gain? Diet sodas will actually make you gain weight rather than lose (Spence, 2004). This is possible...
