Kaleb Phillips November 11th, 2014 NSCI 2114 Volumetric Diet I got the volumetric diet; this diet focuses on eating large amounts of food while still loosing weight. The developer of this diet is Barbara Rolls who has a PhD in Nutritional Sciences and has written over two hundred and fifty scientific articles and six different books (Dr. Barbara). This diet helps people find healthier food choices that they can eat larger amounts of while still shedding weight. The focus on this diet is feeling full. Rolls stated “People feel full because of the types and amounts of food they eat, not because of the number of calories or grams of fat; protein or carbs.” (Volumetrics). Basically the diet wants you to eat more foods that make you feel full …show more content…
In this diet you are supposed to eat more foods that have fewer calories per gram which in theory would allow your bodies metabolism to burn the less energy dense food faster and then pick up burning fat to keep your energy levels up therefore you lose weight from burning stored body fat instead of the fats and energy from the foods that you were eating throughout the day. Do I think this diet works or not? I do believe that if the volumetric diet is properly executed for a lengthy amount of time then your body would gradually lose body fat and would lose weight. If the body is losing weight too fast then it will actually slow down the metabolic rate and make you gain the weight back from which you lost after stopping a diet which is why the Volumetric diet is good, it allows people using this diet to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week which is a healthy amount of weight to lose and does not affect the metabolic functions of the body giving the person a better chance at keeping the weight off instead of gaining back what they lost and then possibly some more …show more content…
The reason I do not believe there are no adverse side effects are because you are not cutting anything out of your diet except for things that would do more harm than good. It is good healthy eating habits that would only have good affects on the human body. The only thing that I could think of that could potentially cause harm to the body by following the volumetric diet is not getting enough calories and meeting your macronutrient
It increases the rate at which the body converts the food that you eat and the stored body fats into usable energy in the body. If you reduce the amount of stored fat in the body, then by default that translates into a significant weight loss result; and the good thing about this dietary supplement is that it allows you to make use of other supplements in conjunction.
...fered some users success in losing weight. Both the South Beach and Atkins diets adopt the theory that low carbohydrate consumption results in rapid weight loss and use a 3-phase attack to ease the user into long-term weight loss. However, the South Beach diet
...on how to follow Phase 1 (the first two weeks) and Phase 2 (the next ten weeks) of the South Beach Diet, eating three meals and two snacks per day.” The results of the research showed that after Phase 1, the participants descrease weight, body percentage, and waist circumference. The results by the participants blood tests and the researchers concluded that the South Beach Diet helped the participants with their loss of weight and body fat.
The Cheater’s Diet starts off real good with eating a Mediterranean style diet and focusing on portion control. This is eating healthy and training your body to not over eat. What doesn’t make any sense to me and lacks the research backup is the weekend cheating. Rivas’s claims that it speeds up you metabolism, therefor increasing weight loss, but he has no evidence. I think that if Rivas would have done more research and supported his theory better than I would be more inclined to try this diet or recommend it. The Cheater’s Diet sounds good but I am not so sure it really works like he claims it does. I also am a firm believer in exercising at least five days a week, which includes cardio and weight training. Rivas believes if you are just being active in daily tasks and follow the diet you will lose the weight still. He does recommend that you workout a couple days a week but I personally believe it should be more. Rivas also includes supplements into his diet that some say could be doing more harm to your body than good. Rivas includes snack foods based more to his taste than the actually readers. He spends too much time trying to incise you to try the diet with all the junk food you will be able to cheat eat on the

The catabolic diet is based on the concept that a person can eat “catabolic” foods that actually have a negative calorie effect. These are foods that supposedly take a person more calories to digest them than the food itself actually contains. Simply put, they are foods that burn fat instead of creating it.

Obesity doctor Alwin Lewis’ “Five Bite” diet promises that it will help people to lose up to 15 pounds in a single week. Dr. Lewis’ diet requires the patient/person to skip breakfast and only eat five bites of whatever food they are eating for lunch and dinner. The person may not drink beverages with calories, the person must consume a multivitamin, and also ensure that there is protein in the 10 bite a day diet. The main appeal of the diet is that the person is allowed to eat any food she or he desires, as long as it's strictly five bites per meal. The Five Bite Diet’s origins can be found in the assigned meal regimens of gastric bypass patients post surgery. Dr. Lewis observed gastric bypass patients’ post surgery diets that limited them to five bites per meal. Lewis tried this on himself and saw positive results and then tried it on patients and saw positive results. This diet is extremely casual and convenient, it can be marketed towards various different groups of people. The trade off that comes with the Five Bite diet being easily marketable is that it is also easily mistaken as scientifically proven or backed. Dr. Lewis’ diet gained a lot of publicity after he appeared on the Doctor Oz show to discuss it.
One of the most notable examples of a “fad diet” is the South Beach Diet, which is known for restricting carbohydrates. The South Beach Diet is a popular fad diet created in 2003 by cardiologist Arthur Agatston and outlined in his best-selling book, "The South Beach Diet: The Delicious, Doctor-Designed, Foolproof Plan for Fast and Healthy Weight Loss." According to Dr. Agatston, the South Beach Diet is lower in carbohydrates and higher in protein and healthy fats, but does not require one to count carbs. In fact, the South Beach Diet claims that “its balance of good carbs, lean protein, and healthy fats makes it a nutrient-dense, fiber-rich diet that you can follow for a lifetime of healthy eating. Instead of counting carbs, the South Beach Diet uses the glycemic index and glycemic load to determine which carbs you should
These restrictive or yo-yo diets have lowered rest metabolic rate by 20%. So basically say you ate 1800 calories per day to maintain weight after these diets you would drop to 1440 calories. Sounds nice up front, right? Guess what… you’re not going to eat 1440 you’re going to eat 1800 and you will put those pounds back on plus!!
This turns into a cycle of weight loss and gain, which can increase “the risk of degenerative diseases such as obesity, type II diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and cancer” (Vaghefi par. 7). These diseases come into the picture due to the cycle. Fad diets promote weight loss, but not fat loss. When the goal weight is attained, and the diet stops, weight is put back on, which leads to more fat being put into the body than taken out and faster weight gain. When losing weight, the biggest way to avoid developing these major health issues is to “not believe or follow any of the fad diets that promise easy and quick weight loss, because there is no such thing” (Vaghefi par. 8). Safe and healthy weight loss happens gradually, with patience and with exercise and a balanced diet. Fad diets are dangerous and should not be used as they can cause major health
One of the main effects of fad diets is the inability to meet the body’s nutritional requirements. In most cases, fad diets are unable to meet your body’s dietary needs as they typically designed to enable you to lose weight. This is because the diet plan is restrictive that reduces the intake of foods with essential nutrients or that requires you to eat the same foods day after day.
One of the benefits I have noticed over time is a gradual amount of weight loss. I started out this course at 182 pounds which of course means I am obese. I am ending this course at 174 pounds for a loss of eight pounds. While I realize that eight pounds
