/in /by

I’m working on a Health & Medical exercise and need support.

  1. Do a search on fad diets–meaning a diet that goes against standard recommendations and promises quick and/or extreme results.
  2. Select one fad diet for this assignment.
  3. With your description of the diet, answer the following questions.
    • Who discovered or founded the diet?
    • What is the premise of the diet?
    • How does weight loss occur?
    • Is the diet nutritious, allowing for intake from all food groups?
    • What health improvements are expected to come from following this diet?
    • How long does one have to follow the diet to see results?
    • In your opinion, does this diet seem healthy and safe? Why or why not?
    • Does this diet seem reasonable to follow for a lifetime? Why or why not?
    • Have you or anyone you know ever tried the diet? Would you ever consider following it if you wanted to lose weight? Why or why not?
