You will choose a fad diet, research information on it, write a minimum 2 page, double-spaced paper (with references), and a cover sheet. Remember to use the skills you learned when finding reputable sources of information. The following are some diet you can consider: Atkins diet Paleo diet Ketogenic diet Cabbage Soup diet The Zone diet The Dukan diet The 5:2 diet South Beach diet Low Fat Ornish diet LEARN diet Blood Type diet Vegan diet, and the Vegetarian diet Or any other one you can think of In your paper, answer these questions: 1) Who came up with the diet? What are their credentials? Are they qualified to give diet advice? 2) What is the diet? Explain it in detail: what is increased, decreased, timing, foods included, food excluded, etc 3) What is the purpose of the diet? Who do you think is the target audience? 4) Does the diet seem to work? Why or why not? 5) Is this diet sustainable (meaning: are individuals able to keep it up long term?) Why or why not? 6) Do you see any problems with following this diet long term? Any deficiencies that could happen or excesses? 7) For what patient population would this diet be contraindicated? 8) What are your final conclusions or views on this fad diet?
