...the best features of the Weight Watchers program is that they can eat any foods that they like as long as they deduct the points value from their daily total. The program teaches participants how to control portions and establish a well-balanced diet to support their goals. Most fruits and vegetables have a 0 point value. As one would expect, pastas, breads and potatoes have higher point values. They can earn additional bonus points throughout the day by increasing their activity or conserving points by making wise choices. When they have depleted their allowed points, they should be finished eating for the day. With this diet, the goal should be to plan food choices and or even plan the week to ensure they have enough points in their bank. If not, participants may become frustrated or even worse; they may be hungry and abandon the diet. While Weight Watchers provides participants with an all you can choose buffet, Rapid Weight Loss is very strict about the source of their foods, the amounts of calories they eat and even the volume of carbohydrates and fluids that they consume. To begin the program, participants have to commit to eating only chicken, turkey, fish, shrimp, eggs, and cheese for the first four days of the diet. Eating limited amounts of these low carbohydrates, high protein foods will force your body into a metabolic process called ketosis. Ketosis is basically when your body begins to burn fat...

...3 Day Diet Plan Kerry Case SCI/241 12/2/2012 William Connor For many years now it has been a struggle to eat healthy, and smoked on regular basis until this past June. When I quit smoking I replaced one bad habit with another and that bad habit was food. When it came to eating my current schedule does not allow me the time to eat like I should. My schedule at work requires me to be at work early so being able to fix something to eat just takes up too much time. I have also found that even if I do eat just a banana it makes me very tired, and with my job being a school bus driver, falling asleep at the wheel is not good. In the morning I usually buy a soda to drink. This usually lasts me from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. Then from 9 a.m. to around 12:15 I purchase another soda. Usually around lunch I bring something to eat that I have previously cooked the following night from dinner. Sometimes I just don’t feel like eating so I throw that back into our work refrigerator and leave it for the next day. I clock back in around 1:30 p.m. and purchase another soda that lasts me until I get off work at 5 p.m. I rush home to fix something quick for dinner such as spaghetti with garlic bread, and a soda to drink. After dinner is done I help my children with their homework as I clean up from dinner. When the children have done their homework and gotten ready for bed is when I finally sit down and do my own homework. Finally around midnight I am ready for bed to just turn around and get up at...

...prior assignments. 1) This topic is important to me because throughout my life I have constantly researched different diets, hoping to find one that will help me lose weight and keep it off. With this research I hope to find one that not only help me lose weight, but also begin a new life style. 2) As a result of the on again, off again weight gain I began to see myself as a failure, and also as a fat person who could not keep the weight off. Through this research I am hoping to find not a diet but a life style that is healthily. I hope to be able to recognize a Fad diet as soon as I see one, and be able to educate my friend and family on this matter. Who is your primary audience or reader? Why? Be detailed in your answer about your audience. 1) The targeted audience would be people looking for a quick fix diet, maybe the girl that needs to get into that little black dress this weekend or the boy that will go swimming for the first time with a new girlfriend and wants to look slimmer fast. 2) I believe my secondary audience would be people like myself that just want a diet that works and are looking for new ways to lose weight. Not a quick fix, but a diet that is not very difficult and keeps the weight off. 3) I think the majority of my targeted audience would agree with me, even though the truth hurts. Fad diets are not healthy and are indeed a quick fix. But, people sometimes want to believe otherwise, even though the proof is presented to...

...Fad Diets: Positive or Negative? Keith Daugherty DeVry University Fad Diets: Positive or Negative? Chad, a middle aged man, goes to work every day of the week to provide for his wife and three children. He wants nothing more than to live a full and healthy life and to always be there for his family, just like his father was there for him and his mom, growing up. Chad attended his annual check-up with the family care provider that he has seen for many years. He has always felt fine and thought he was as healthy as can be. While Chad was with his family care provider, he was told that his cholesterol levels were high, that he has high blood pressure, and that he has an increased chance of experiencing a myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack. His family care provider decided that Chad needed to lose some weight and start eating healthier in order to lower his blood pressure, lower his cholesterol levels, and decrease his chance of suffering a myocardial infarction. Chad agreed to make his doctor’s recommended lifestyle changes because he wanted to be there for his family no matter what the cost. After leaving his family care provider’s office and speaking with this wife about the bad news, he realized that he did not have a plan of action as to how he was going to lose the extra weight that was the source of his health problems. He didn’t know many things about eating healthier or maintaining a healthy lifestyle so he was unsure of where to begin. Later that...

... 2013 How can diets work in order to obtain ultimate health? While researching books and articles about nutrition and diets, I found something very interesting that almost all the authors had in common. 95 percent of the authors of the books and articles I researched were obese at certain point of their lives and had tried many types of modern diets such as Atkins, South Beach, Ornish, Zone, the blood type diet, detoxing, the cookie diet-I and etc… without any long term good results. “Every year we are offered new diets, new books on dieting, and new weight-loss programs” (Katharine 1). So, I started researching about vary types of diets, how they function, how they are designed, and if it really fits all people. I researched about genetics, because I wanted to know if it has anything to deal with our health and if it has any influence in our gain of weight. I’ve noticed that when a mother and a father are obese usually the kids also tend to become obese. “Many Americans, including health care professionals and citizens alike, continue to gaze in the wrong direction” (Katherine 2). My goal with this paper is to find what would be the ideal diet and how we could live in a healthy lifestyle and never gain all the weight back! To reach this goal I have organized this paper in three main sections. In the first section, I provide an account of information about our genetics and how we can use that information in order to understand better human body and diets. In the second section...

...resolution to begin a strict diet to lose weight and be healthier. Every year, many of those same people chose a one-size-fits-all fad diet and flunk out with in just a few short months, with some calling it quits within weeks. The truth is there is no such thing as the perfect diet for all consumers, yet we still follow the media, celebrities, and coworkers down the road of the most popular fad diet that promises the quickest gains. In the end we spend billions of dollars on these diets and all the accessories that come with them, such as expensive gym memberships and hyped up supplements, and the results are minimal at best. Dieting in America has become a mainstream, profit generating habit that can be unhealthy and costly; educating the public on alternative eating habits and supplemental lifestyle choices can lead to healthier individuals and outweigh the marginal benefits of dieting alone. American’s are competitive by nature, and never want to be left behind. Mainstream dieting has been around for decades, growing more and more popular as our ways to reach out to more consumers grow. I can remember being a child, listening to my mother and aunts discuss New Year’s resolutions that always included dieting. Back then we only had the evening news, newspapers, and telephones. Today we cannot escape the onslaught of social media, and one would be lucky to maneuver the checkout line at CVS without picking up a magazine listing the hottest diet, offered by the hottest model...
