Dear Dr. Kennedy The reason I chose to write my essay on John P. Foreyt’s “Weight Loss Diets: Are They All The Same?” is because I have successfully lost weight by doing a low carb diet, so I can relate to the topic. The readers of my essay include my fellow students and you, my professor. I think my paper is interesting to the reader because I have added my own opinions and experiences to my work. Both peer responses I received suggested that I make a clearer thesis statement, so I added a little more …show more content…

In the last paragraph of page two in the article, I learned that low carb diets can produce more weight loss than low-fat diets. Although over time it seems you keep the weight off easier with a low-fat diet. Low carb diets apparently have no short term negative health effect, but over long term they can. This makes sense because low carb diets are high in fats and a high fat intake over a long period of time cannot be healthy. On page three in the second paragraph Foreyt references a paper by Sacks and Collogues and according to them you can be successful at any weight loss plan if you stick to it like you are supposed to. The reality of it is that anyone can lose weight on any diet. The best way to select a diet is to research it. Look into other people’s success on different diet plans and decide which one works best for you depending on your personal tastes. Like I said at the beginning of my paper, I have successfully lost weight on the low carb diet plan because for one I wanted to get to my goal weight bad enough and for two I like meat and vegetables that are low in carbs, so I knew low carb dieting would work for me. I have a good friend who does not like meat and only likes potatoes when it comes to vegetables, so it is safe to say that a low carb diet would not work for her. So, my advice is to do your research, figure out which plan works best for you and make sure you want it bad enough to succeed at it and you will lose weight with

In this book, Michael Polland highlights the main issues in today’s “Western Diet,” breaking down the factors contributing to our unhealthy food consumption. Nutritionism is an idea that we are constantly surrounded by, but how much of it do you really understand? How much of it is truth, and how much is simply manipulation?

I thoroughly understood the process of ketosis, however Dr. Lofton’s diet plan taught me that I could manipulate biochemical processes to design personalized diet plans that promote safe weight loss. At that moment, I realized that I was not constricted to using one type of method to achieve a patient’s recovery from obesity. I was completely thrilled by the notion that I could apply a biochemical aspect to the nutrition field. By applying a biochemical aspect to nutrition, it would help me develop an in-depth understanding of how exactly nutrition plays a role in a patient’s

Lee Fulkerson’s Forks Over Knives prevents a radical approach to helping America get healthy and avoid health issues such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. These health issues have plagued America since the invention of fast food and have made America one least healthiest countries in the world. However, the film’s aversion to taking modern medicines and instead relying on a plant based diet to avoid new health issues and reverse existing health made me question the practicableness of having an entirely plant based diet as the film recommends. Additionally, critics of plant based diets such as Connie Diekman at Washington University feel that plant based diets will leave the deprived of nutrients that milk and dairy provide such as calcium. However, the two academic studies I found through my own research support that a plant based diet does lower your risk of heart attack and when done right, does not leave your body lacking critical nutrients.

Our society has helped create a definition of dieting that is not only harmful to the body but also does not work. The proper definition of a diet would be the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. The public’s definition of a diet is to restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight. Those who engage in this sort of dieting begin with the wrong mentality. They believe by undertaking a diet they will lose weight and keep it off, when in reality most people fail with diets.
