Elman, Elyssa. "A Low-Carbohydrate Diet Isn't just a Fad." Montreal Gazette, 24 Aug. 2017

"'You're no longer diabetic!' This was a phrase that I was fortunate enough to be able to

tell six different patients last week who were previously diagnosed with Type two diabetes. 'You

don't need your blood pressure medication, or this statin anymore either"'is becoming another

one of my catch-phrases, too. I've uttered those words more in the last six months than in the

previous nine years combined of practice as a family doctor. What am I doing to be able to say

this to patients? Simple: showing them how to take control of their health through eating foods

low in carbs and high in fats." Montreal Gazette In this viewpoint article, the author a physician

credits a low-carb diet with changing her life and the life of her patients.

This article is basically the main theme of my topic. I choose this because it’s trying to

answer my questions to see which one is better low carb or low fat. This article gave me

examples of people testing to see what’s the difference between low carb and low fat.

Kris Gunnars. “23 Studies on Low-Carb and Low-Fat Diets Time to Retire The Fad.” Healthline,

Things have been debated as much as carbohydrates vs fat. Most of the studies are being

conducted on people with health problems, including overweight/obesity, type II diabetes and

metabolic syndrome. The main outcomes measured are usually weight loss, as well as common

risk factors like Total Cholesterol, LDL Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides and Blood

Sugar levels. Some believe that increased fat in the diet is a leading cause of all kinds of health

problems, especially heart disease. Some believe that increased fat in the diet is a leading cause

of all kinds of health problems, especially heart disease.

So basically this discuss the studies on different people testing to see how low their carb

and fat is. This people all over the world how high and low their eating habits are. There are a lot

of overweight individuals who are put into low carb and low fat diets. This fits my research

because my argument is determining which is better low carb and low fat. I don’t know which is

better.

Ludwig, David S. "Could Your Healthy Diet make Me Fat?" New York Times, 29 Nov. 2015

"Some people eat as little fat as possible to lose weight and stay healthy, while others

avoid carbohydrates. A vegan diet with no animal products and the paleo diet with lots both have

enthusiastic devotees. One popular diet encourages intermittent fasting, another frequent small

meals. The study suggested that dieters may be mistakenly eating a lot of some foods, like

tomatoes, that are good for most people, but bad for them. And it raised the possibility that an

individualized approach to nutrition could eventually supplant national guidelines meant for the

entire public.

This article will help me on my research because it deals with an organization who is
 Minter 3

trying to figure out the same thing. The clinic is trying to help people who are overweight and

see what I the best way to do it. They want to see if eating less will reduce weight. I do the same

thing but my mom said that was bad for you.

O'Connor, Anahad. "How Much do Calories Count?" New York Times, 21 Feb. 2018

"How Much do Calories Count?"is discussing that the standard prescription for weight

loss is to reduce the amount of calories you consume. It’s been known that people who cut back

on added sugar, refined grains and highly processed foods while concentrating on eating plenty

of vegetables and whole foods.

This article is a very good reference because I can relate to this. I learned about how

much sugar you should take in each day in health class. My purpose of this research is to figure

out if carb or fat is good for you, how much you should eat, and which is better for you.

Painter, Kim. "Low Fat Vs. Low Carb: A Bone of Contention." USA TODAY, 03 Sep. 2014

This article is about the studies of offer ammunition for those who say the popular low-

carb approach is superior and for those who say all diets are pretty much the same. Some experts

say the bottom line remains unchanged. The best diet for you may be one you can stick to

longest and adapt in the healthiest way.

This article is basically the main theme of my topic. I choose this because it’s trying to

answer my questions to see which one is better low carb or low fat. This article gave me

examples of people testing to see what’s the difference between low carb and low fat.

Roth, A. Ruth. Nutrition & Diet Therapy. Delmar Cengage Learning, 2013

Nutrition & Diet Therapy 11E is an updated introduction to the essentials of nutrition

concepts, good health and client care that will provide you with a solid foundation in nutrition.

This book addresses misconceptions presented in the media about the link between good

nutrition and good health and will enable you to more effectively help your clients improve their

nutrition and overall health. This is broken down to three concepts. Section One covers the

fundamentals of nutrition, Section Two explains how to maintain good health through nutrition.

And Section Three addresses the nutrition therapy concepts nurses need to know.

This will be good for my research because this generation people aren’t eating right. We

need all the help we can get. Compare to all the other sources, the second to fourth sources

discuss on some eating rights but mainly exercising and building muscle. My argument is low

carb vs low fat and with these sources I can determine which one I should use more. Ii hasn’t

change what I think about this topic.

Salleh, Anna. "High-Carb Diet could 'Equal Calorie Restriction'." ABC Science Online, May.

2015

"A low-protein, high-carbohydrate diet can protect middle-aged people from heart

disease and diabetes as much as reducing their calorie intake by 40 per cent, a new mouse study

suggests. But, warn the authors, it's all about eating the right kind of carbohydrates, such as

brown rice and fibre-rich fruit and vegetables." Findings of the study showing that the metabolic

benefits associated with a calorie-restricted diet can also be attained with a low-protein, high-

carbohydrate diet are discussed.

Lean, Healthy Muscle Mass. Ulysses Press, 2013

Basically this book focus on putting on muscle. So if you want to accomplish that goal,

there is a routine you have to follow. The routine will require you to eat, sleep,and train

differently than normal. Now this doesn’t have some mystical secret to packing on pounds of

muscle mass. Nor does it outline some hybrid program to develop speed or endurance. This is to

utilize a proven method of diet and exercises performed a specific times to extend your body’s

ability to make muscle.

Over the summer I plan to get in shape for my senior year. My whole family are thinking

about walking, drinking fruit smoothies, and go to the gym. This book might help me because i

want to be skinny but fit. I’m starting to lifting weights and might get a job just to earn some

cash. If U work in a store they will have me pushing carts and that will be a good exercise for

me. This book got four and five stars for the most part on amazon and had great reviews so it’s

working for people.

Taubes, Gary. "How to Fight Fat--with a Better Study." Los Angeles Times, 11 May. 2016

"Dieting doesn't cure obesity. That's not news, although it was reconfirmed last week a

particularly mediagenic fashion in a study published by National Institutes of Health researchers.

The researchers followed contestants from the 'The Biggest Loser' television show as these

formerly obese contestants proceeded to regain most of the massive amounts of weight they had

lost on the show. As reported in the journal Obesity, these 'Biggest Loser' contestants were the

victims of 'metabolic compensation.' As they tried to keep their weight under control, their

bodies remained particularly resistant to expending energy. The findings implied that to maintain

their weight loss they would have to remain hungry and calorie-deprived for the rest of their

years, and they might still regain the weight they'd lost and then some."

This article is basically the main theme of my topic. I choose this because it’s trying to

answer my questions to see which one is better low carb or low fat. In this article, the author

explains why the "dismal implications of the ‘Biggest Loser' weight gain study could be all

wrong."

Thomas, Katie. "Popular Diet Drug is Cheap and Easy to Get." New York Times, 05 Jul. 2015

The Food and Drug Administration has approved several new weight-loss drugs in recent

years, but the best-selling diet pill in America isn't among them. The drug is viewed as effective

and relatively safe to help jump-start diets in patients who are obese. This article explains why

"Phentermine's staying power has persisted despite F.D.A. approval of four new weight-loss

products since 2012.

This article will help me on my research because it deals with an organization who is

trying to figure out the same thing. The FDA is trying to help people who are overweight and see

what I the best way to do it.

Westcott, Wayne. Get Stronger, Feel Younger: The Cardio and Diet-Free Plan to Firm Up and

Lose Fat. Rodale Books, 2007

When women get older, their metabolisms slow, and over a 20-year period, the average

woman packs on about 30 pounds of fat. Women turn to diet plans that not only restrict calorie

consumption, in order to loss weight. Dr. Wayne Westcott and Gary Reinl present their proven

strength training program that has helped over three-thousand research participants shed fat,

regain atrophied muscle, and experience dramatic increases in resting metabolic rate. There are
 Minter 8

two programs (the Standard Strength Training Program), which requires only 20 minutes for

completion in 2 days a week. And the (Advanced Strength-Training Program), which requires 30

minutes 3 days a week. Also both doctors explains how strength training can prevent diabetes,

heart disease, stroke, and several types of cancer.

On a low-carb diet, you're encouraged to eat foods like meat and eggs, which happen to

be rich in saturated fat and cholesterol. Hypoglycemia can be caused by a lack of carbohydrates

in healthy people. As a woman, determining how many carbs constitutes an effective, low-carb

diet isn't simple. While low-carb diets can help you lose weight and stabilize blood sugar,

women's needs vary. Highly active women who regularly do high workouts may need slightly

more carbohydrates.
