Diet

When reading about some of the diet I was familiar with, I began speaking to my 50 year old aunt, whom revealed that she had struggle with dieting most of her adult life. After making a complete list of the diets she has tried, some common factors were present. In every diet there are many risk factors that could possibly occur, such as relapse. In the quote “Eat less fat and you will be less fat” is the main reason the diets that most people try don’t work because most nutritional value is lost this book gives you the truth about myths and misconceptions that many diet

It is important to manage the carbohydrate intake week-to-week (Atkins par. 7). The third and fourth phases of the Atkins diet are for maintenance phases. Dieters should avoid any foods that could possibly cause weight gain, and continue to watch the intake of carbohydrates. The intake of carbohydrates may be increased during this phase but still must be managed (Atkins par. 8). The Atkins diet has had some controversies and some successes as well. This diet is a high-fat diet and the government health agencies only recommend thirty percent of fat in our diets. The Atkins diet requires the dieter to consume much more fat than that, easily (Atkins par. 9). A success that the Atkins dieters have experienced is not only weight loss, but an improvement in health as well (Atkins par. 10). Although this diet has been very time consuming for dieters, it has had wondrous outcomes.

For my satire project, I focused on the topic of Obesity for which to find a humorous solution. Today obesity is an exponential problem in the United States. Americans are evolving into the laziest humans in the world because we don’t want to work towards the goal of being fit; all we want to do is take a pill and wake up skinny in a week’s time. The industry for weight loss and its advertisement has gone way too far, and they are steering us in a bad direction. Likewise, my targeted audience would be the industry of diet planning and those who fall into the trap of “losing thirty pounds a month” with a formulated shake or pills. Given these points, my purpose for this assignment is to expose the ridiculousness of the weight loss plans in today’s

In the article, “The Paleo Diet” by Loren Cordain, the author talks about America’s fascination with diet fads, telling readers about their widespread appeal as a “fix-all” for America’s health problems and obesity. I have to admit, like a lot of people, I am a bandwagon jumper. Whether this new fad be a new fashion trend or a new video game sensation, chances are that I’ve tried it. And new diet fads are no exception for me.

With the weight loss industry, media, and health professionals bullying individuals by attaching harmful stigmas to individuals of certain size and weights, numerous Americans are fed the lie they must partake in the various dieting plans and drugs provided by the money-thirsty companies in order to become accepted by society. However, the truth lies not in the media’s falsities that take far too many people ransom: instead, the truth is uncloaked when the adverse outcome of what the reality of dieting and consuming weight loss drugs is examined. Not only prevaricating their ads and commercials, the weight loss industry, media, and health professionals cause psychological and physical damage to millions when they partake in their latest drugs, products, or meal plans. For this reason, America must abolish the weight loss matrix in which it is captured. Although this will be no easy task, the falsity of the obesity epidemic, dieting drugs and programs, and acceptable standards of size and shape as presented by the media can be revamped. Parents and health care providers alike must take responsibility and have discussions with today’s youth about the misconceptions portrayed by the media and the value of what true nutrition looks like. Planning family meals together to ensure

In addition, plenty advertisements include models that are beyond well in shape while eating the fatty products. What’s not contained in these commercials is that these models do not typically eat these unwholesome foods everyday, and even if they do eat it, they are very likely to exercise constantly for a considerable amount of time. These publications of models with great bodies eating unhealthy food is so popular that it may have twisted the Americans’ thinking of foods that may become deadly in the long

The product more or less receives a seal of approval without the consumer ever really knowing whether the “expert” is truly an expert at all. The professional’s actual doctorate may not even be in the medical field, but in a completely different field and unrelated all together. This is done because viewers ask fewer questions about a product or information when backed by a professional. This tactic is used to gain the trust of the viewers. Once they have the viewers’ trust in hand, Iovative Health Sciences, Inc., persuades these young female viewers to believe almost anything that they want them too. These women become inclined to believe that Hydroxycut will work for them; fast, easy, and with no hassles. This method of gaining the female consumers trust coupled with Hydroxycut ads’ other advertising fallacies for example, the airbrushed and digitally enhanced photos along with Hydroxycut’s over exaggerated or falsified statements; make their already vulnerable female audience more susceptible to their deceptions. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), an agency created to protect America’s consumers, drew up a report called, “Weight-Loss Advertising: An Analysis of Current Trends,” which investigated weight-loss advertising. In 2001, a content analysis found that over half of all advertising for weight-loss products used fabricated, unsupported claims. In an investigation of 300 ads from

Phentermine is best when you take one dosage in the morning in an empty stomach before breakfast and the other dose before your lunch. You need to drink a lot of water while you’re on Phentermine. Otherwise you might face issues like dry mouth.

Doctors are telling their patients they are obese and to fix it with exercise and eating right. On top of our doctors telling us to lose weight, we see in the media everyone is skinny and then we are even harder on ourselves again because, we, as a society think we all need to look like that, “normal humans are constantly exposed to the zero-fat mutants in the media, and we naturally assume that were supposed to look like them” (547). Barry says this meaning we all want to look like the skinny people on our TV screens. Therefore we when watch television and listen to radio ads and see things on our phones about meal packages to make you lose weight or work out videos, and without hesitation we choose to buy them because we want to solve our problems as easy as possible, and we do that by giving the most money to the companies with some ridiculous object or food that will make you drop a certain amount of weight and make you look good again. Barry shows how ridiculous society can be in believing anything the media says and buying

In many countries, mostly people use more preserving food such as fruits, vegetable, meat, and fish because canned food or preserving food are cheaper than the fresh food, but the important thing is all these foods contain a plastic coating inside the can to keep them fresh and can store longer but it is very harmful for your health and have less nutrition. So the Atkins diet will help you think about this and all these foods will cause to many diseases such as caner, heart disease, obesity and diabetes. Otherwise, the Atkins diet will help you to get away from these diseases and can lose weight by limited to intake sugar and carbohydrates and also have so many easy low carb recipes that help to lose weight and you can still enjoy delicious

Another reason why so many people choose the Atkins plan is because dieters are allowed to consume good-tasting, fatty-foods, during the induction phase of the diet. However, as tempting as these food options may be, the end result shows an increase in cholesterol that is proven to have a negative effect on the heart and body as a whole. Furthermore, another aspect of the Atkins diet is the fact that it is proven to generate weight loss, however, the drawback is that the loss is only for a short amount of time, and not easily maintained. The likelihood of losing the weight and keeping it off is something that researchers are still trying to show as a possibility (Harper, 1). But there are alternatives to the Atkins plan, the most common of which is Dr. Arthur Agatston’s South Beach diet.

Being overweight is related to a number of serious health complications, and according to the American Obesity Association in 2005, ³the second leading cause of preventable death in U.S. In addition to health risks, overweight individuals endure a significant social stigma as well as outright discrimination. Laziness and self indulgence are common stereotypes associated with this group. Many overweight people feel like social outcasts. The professional life of an overweight individual could also be negatively affected, as excess weight has been found to adversely influence, hiring decisions, wages, and promotions. Researchers and health care professionals measure excess weight using the Body Mass Index (BMI) scale. The BMI scale, which calculates the relationship between weight and height associated with body fat and health risk, is appropriate for both men and women. It has three BMI categories of excess weight for adults:overweight (25 to 30); obese (30 to 40); and severely, or morbidly obese (over 40). According to CDC

Diet medications are not part of the Weight Watchers program. If participants feel they need an extra boost to kick start their program, they can obtain a prescription for an appetite suppressant from their physician. Normally, any weight loss program promotes healthy eating and exercise to ensure a safe level of weight loss and to assure progress toward your target goal. Weight Watchers tools and guidelines teach the participant how to choose healthy foods and the program defines the consequences for poor choices. On the other hand, maintaining a 900 calorie per day diet is not easy for an overweight person that is accustomed to eating 2500 to 5000 calories each day. Depending on the amount of weight loss needed, some participants benefit from a program monitored by a physician that prescribes several medications to help with weight loss. These medications replace calcium and potassium that they are missing because of the diet restrictions. Some participants may benefit from Fluoxetine, an anti-depressant prescribed because many people have trouble adjusting mentally to a 900 calorie diet. The most common prescription medication that helps participants succeed is Adipex, which is an appetite suppressant that allows participants to consume smaller amounts of foods without experiencing hunger all day.
