For this next assignment, you actually have a lot of freedom.
In a 1-1 1/2 page paper, tell me about a diet plan, diet scam, fad diet, or dietary supplement. We have already mentioned several in our book and notes so far this semester, but there are some good ones out there that we haven’t even touched on yet.
*****In your paper, ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS about the diet you write about.*****
1-Why do people find it appealing?
2-Why does/doesn’t it work?
3-Does it follow sound dietary principles as discussed in our class?
4-What happens after you stop their dieting method?
5-Does this diet provide adequate balance and a variety of nutrients?
6-Does this diet advocate moderation and/or exercise?
7-When the diet claims that weight will be lost, what is that weight? Is it fat, water, muscle mass? (Most likely, the diet isn’t going to tell you the composition of the weight lost b/c they just want to advertise, well, general weight loss, right?) If you don’t know what the weight lost is, then make an educated guess based on what you know.
You should easily be able to come up with 1 – 1 1/2 page, no problem, when you write our paper and try to answer these questions.
