Keetogenic Diet Analysis

I had no idea that what I included in my diet was so important and provided a significant impact to my wellbeing. After doing the first part of this Analysis project, I was surprised to see the many areas that I can improve on. I created 3 specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound goals to help me improve on receiving the right amount and variety of nutrients in my diet. My goals are to drink 8 glasses of water a day, have fruits and vegetables every meal adding to a total of about 4-6 cups, and to have a different breakfast every day. For 30 days, I attempted to implement daily each of my 3 goals.

Nutrition, I have learned plays a big part in our life. To be honest I was clueless about how much nutrition affected our everyday lives. I love going to the gym working out, now that I know what should go into my diet I think I will see a lot more improvement. I occasionally follow the latest diet fads because I believed it would be better for my health, but in turn it really hurt more than it helped! This Diet Analysis project has been extremely useful course because I can personally relate to it and can use much of the information learned to my daily routines. The Diet Analysis project was a real eye opener because it let me see what exactly I was putting into my diet.

Soon, I discovered a method to avoid the potential of feeling insubstantial, if only for a few more hours or days. Thus, allow me to introduce you to an old friend, procrastination. My way of thinking soon became, “If I’m not going to get an A, then why even put the effort in?” and consequently, innumerable assignments were put off until five in the morning where it would be due in two hours or it would never reach my teacher’s hands at all. I’m sure most teachers believed the cause to be laziness or a lack of ambition, however I strongly believe that if they’d known the constant stress, self-doubt, and exhaustion that I

In my Diet Journal, I recorded all the food I ate over the weekend with the best accuracy I could attempt to do. But one of the factors that made my food diary inaccurate was that I couldn’t find every detail and percentage of fat, carbohydrates, and proteins in everything I ate. Also, all of the amounts and servings were approximations, not exact amounts. I was able to record everything I ate, but accuracy may have been affected by estimations and sources. The calorie intake I had over the three day period ranged from 1900-2500 calories. This was over my 1800 BMR, due to the food choices and fluctuation in diet.

In comparison with my DRIs, my intake of kcalories from carbohydrates, protein, and fat are all within or below the recommended ranges. When I compared my Macronutrient Distribution to my DRI, I realized that I was very close to recommended amount of fat intake. One thing that I could improve on is my protein consumption. My carbohydrate intake is also something I can improve on being that it was below the daily-recommended intake. Looking at my Energy Balance report and comparing the calories that I consumed versus my energy expenditure I can interpret that I did not burn any of the calories that I consumed. Over the summer my goal was to do at least an hour of cardio daily. Since the semester has started I have fallen off. Therefore, I am creating a plan in which I will incorporate cardio into

I feel that a variety of students also struggle with these bad habits each day. No one is perfect, but with the help of Peterson’s research, one can motivate themselves mentally. Not only can they do this by writing down their goals, but also putting them to practice. It may not be easy at first, but writing down some short and long term goals can keep one to stay in school and work hard. An important idea to remember from the article is writing down thoughts and emotions helps one to be less stressed. Putting Jordan Peterson’s research to practice as schools will benefit each student to achieve academic

Using the table on page 12, I was able to calculate the Kcalorie content in Cheetos. First I calculated the carbohydrates 60 kcal, then protein 8kcal and lastly lipids as 90 kcal. I then added up 60+8+90 and got 158 Kcal. The Cheetos provide 9.4% carbohydrates, 1.27% protein, and 57% lipids. I think the lipid content is very high compared to the recommend 20-35% lipids.

Part 1 The way people perceive taste is impacted by a number of factors. These include, but are not limited to, age, weight, hormones, sickness and disease, smoking, and diet. Diet is the factor that this paper focuses on. Diet is impacted by the way people taste in that people are used to eating a certain amount of additives and preservatives. Some eat a very low amount, while for others, everything they eat contains additives and preservatives. There is a large range, but this paper will be focusing on two sides: people who eat a moderate to high amount of additives and preservatives in their daily life —this group will be referred to as Group 1—and people who eat very little to none—this group will be referred to as Group 2.

Mikey’s nutrition-related goal was to maintain his weight at 165 being 5’8”. Based upon the Harris-Benedict Equation (66 + (6.3 x 165) + (12.9 x 68) – (6.8 x 20), Mikey’s over all calories that are needed to maintain his weight are 3,185 per day. My partners’ BMI was equal to 25 which was considered an elevated level, but should be fine for his health. His classification was considered overweight, but with his age and activity level this is not excessive. With a weight loss of three pounds he would reach the optimal weight range. As far as energy intake needs, I suggested the percentage of carbohydrates should be 55% calories, 20% calories from fat and 25% protein. Mikey also needs to consume approximately 38 g of fiber per day.

The three-day diet analysis was interesting. There were many positive attributes to it and definitely negative ones. Over the course of the three days, which were Friday, Saturday and Sunday: and figured this would give a good depiction of what I was consuming on a regular basis. In some places I was consuming more than I should be and in some I was consuming less than I should be. There were also those places were I was getting just the right amount. It is so interesting to me to be able to find out what I am consuming and how I am consuming it. Being an active male, it was most interesting of what I ate, what my average of the three days were, and the plan on how I would correct the way I eat to make it a more healthier lifestyle.

It is imperative that we begin to build great habits now to form great character later. Consistent habits tend to form your character. Character is difficult to break. I takes 28 days to create a habit. A habits can be broken at anytime. My coaches would say, if you are not early, you're late. Be present during all meetings and bring a note pad and pen. No one should sit in the back. That's not who we are.

Throughout my experience using Pearson’s my diet analysis program I learned that my diet plays a very significant role in my life. Keeping track of my diet was completely essential, which I didn’t realize until I started using the diet tracker. My diet is very important to me which is why I wanted my analysis to be as accurate as possible, due to this I chose days that I’d be maintaining physical activity as well as eating healthy. I chose weekdays (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) because I knew my analysis would be more precise as opposed to tracking my diet on the weekend, where I knew I’d be lying in bed all day. During the weekdays, my dietary habits are more constant because I’m keeping the same routine throughout the week. During the three-day

The Ketogenic Diet is a way of eating that is becoming increasingly popular within fitness and health communities. The Ketogenic Diet began as a way of eating to combat Alzheimer’s disease along with neurological disorders such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Disease (Davis, n.d.). In the past decade it has become widely known for its weight loss benefits. As of recent, many famous public figures and professional athletes have further popularized the concept of the Ketogenic Diet. Many years ago, the Ketogenic Diet began as a way to combat diseases and neurological disorders, but has since then become a much more popular tool for weight loss.

your paradigms and the paradigms of them. This way you will more likely have a stronger influence. My second recommendation to myself is to stay focused on what matters the most to me. This recommendation came in to my mind after reading the second habit: Begin With the End in Mind. This habit taught me how to live with a purpose. It is based on the principle that things need to be created mentally before they are physically created. For example, a plane is first created in someone’s mind before it is actually built. Effective people determine their own futures. First, they mentally plan it according to their values and principles. Second, they physically create it through their positive actions and behaviors. During my college life, I have always had busy weeks in which I had to deal with lots of exams, home woks, quizzes, and projects. In such weeks, I tend to spend all my time only doing my school responsibilities. However, as Stephen Covey says in the second habit, “most people on their death beds don’t wish they had spent more time at the office!” By the end of each semester, I see myself getting good grades but still not satisfied because deep in my

I am the kind of person who wants things done yesterday. With school, family, and life in general – it does not work that way. If I even think too much about the classes I still need to complete before I am even eligible to be in my major, I get bogged down. Instantly I get overwhelmed and feel like giving up. This quote has reminded me to slow down. “The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda”. This is telling me that you cannot have ultimate goal without finishing the small tasks it takes to get there
