Pros and Cons of the Atkins and South Beach Diets People consider many factors when choosing a diet: what best suites their needs, how it fits with their body type, and what the diet entails, are all aspects taken into account. The Atkins and South Beach diets are plans that take different approaches in style but end up having similar results in the end. Atkins serves to eliminate carbohydrates and focus on more protein-enriched foods; this idea sells because it offers a way

Cellular respiration is vital for life. Without the process of cellular respiration our cells would not have the energy needed to survive. One of the end products of cellular respiration is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) and it is the form of energy vital for life. All cells, animal and plant, need ATP to survive. ATP is used during the process of repairing, maintaining, and reproducing our cells. Glucose is starting produced for the process of cellular respiration and is it is critical for our bodies

respirations. Counter regulatory hormones consist of cortisol, glucagon, growth hormone, and catecholamines. A rise in counter regulatory hormones cause insulin to not be utilize. This causes a rise in glucose, loss of fluids, loss of electrolytes, and ketosis (Kitabchi & Gosmanov, 2012). They worsen with the patient that has diabetic ketoacidosis because they increase glucose and ketone production in the liver when there is a severe decrease in insulin. This increases the ketone to even higher concentrations

The Atkins diet and it’s never ending debate on whether it’s healthy or not has been around for over forty years. The diet excludes absolute consumption of carbohydrates and encourages unlimited amounts of protein and fat. “In 2003, about three million people in the UK had tried the diet” ("Atkins and the never-ending battle over carbs, BBC News," n.d.) because according to People magazine, “weight loss [was] extremely fast.” ("Atkins Diet, People.com," n.d.) Studies show that Atkins diet may “induce

guidelines that benchmark midwifery care in Victoria recommend women eat a light diet and drink as desired (3centres Collaboration, 2014). The presence of ketonuria indicates the importance of using isotonic drinks to prevent the development of ketosis, with ketosis reducing the efficacy of uterine activity, possibly contributing to prolonged labours (Hunt, 2013; Toohill, Soong, & Flenady, 2008). Moreover, evidence points to the opinions, experience, practice and policies of clinicians and their associated

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a genetically inherited disease where the body is unable to process amino acids properly. This particular disease is caused by a defect in your genes. People affected by MSUD has a buildup of these amino acids in their blood. In the most severe state, MSUD causes damage to the brain when stress starts to become a problem; this stress includes: infection, fevers, or not eating for a long period of time. Symptoms of this disease include: coma, feeding difficulties

Disruptions A disruption in which blood glucose levels may be affected is when someone goes through starvation. The body needs a constant supply of glucose in order for the body to function properly as it is used for energy, so when someone goes through starvation the body won’t have a supply of glucose. The body maintains blood glucose at first, by an increase in insulin levels to lower the blood glucose levels back to its optimum range (4-6mM (milli Moles per Litre) or set point (5mM (milli Moles

The main treatment goal for Mr. F. is to reverse the pathological effects of DKA and prevent further complications—such as cardiac failure, respiratory failure, fluid loss, death etc. (Sole et al., 2013). The first priority for Mr. F is his airway, breathing, and circulation that were already accomplished by intubation and administration of dopamine. Again, due to Mr. F.’s age and alcohol abuse, there is a higher risk of kidney failure and dehydration; it is vital to monitor and correct his fluid

public's attention again (4). To try to comprehend what the stir is all about we will examine one of the top selling books on the market today about protein diets, The Atkin's Diet. The main dietary principle driving the Atkins Diet is ketosis (5). Ketosis is a condition in which unusual products of fat are broke down in the blood. More simply stated, it means excess, stored body fat is burned, which

It is no secret that obesity is huge problem in the United States. About 40% of the United States’ population is obese (Centers for Disease Control [CDC], 2015). According to CDC, obesity causes: heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and is the second most preventable disease in the United States (2014). If that’s not enough of a public health problem, than add the 147 billion dollars spent in healthcare expenses just in the U.S. alone (CDC, 2014). According to the text, Public Health 101, “the prevalence
