How Diet Plans Are Deceiving
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. One says to eat only low-fat, low-calorie foods; another says to eat only the foods found within a certain group; yet another says to eat only the amount of food that equals the number of points one is allowed for the entire day; while still another advocates eschewing all of the above and consume only high protein, low-carbohydrate foods. Clearly, the myriad weight-reduction plans that exist throughout contemporary society are enough to confuse any potential dieter. The writer discusses how contemporary diets reflect the significant pressures placed upon those who are both impressionable and vulnerable. With the primary influence being that of popular culture, overweight individuals are faced with difficult choices when it comes to proper food choices and weight loss programs. Atkins is the focus of this paper. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Insulin and Diabetes
[ send me this paper ]

After decades of believing that excess sugar in the diet does not specifically cause diabetes, researchers have found results that suggest such could be the case, or at least contribute to the emergence of the condition. Again, what has been discovered is not an answer, but represents yet another question. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Includes an abstract.
