Compare and Contrast Low Carbohydrate Diets and Low Fat Diets
The two most popular methods to lose weight are the low carbohydrate
diets and the low fat diets. Both are in complete contrast when it comes
to each diet’s food choices, the low carbohydrate diet which completely
breaks the food pyramid limits a person to eating foods that are high in
carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta and rice, while on the other hand,
the low fat diet which follow the food pyramid limits a person to eat
foods that are high in fat like meat, milk, and bean groups. Although
each diet may sound very different from one another, they also share
similarities. Both the low carbohydrate diet and the low fat diet claim
that each is a good tool for weight loss. Even though their process in
achieving weight loss and good health are in complete contrast;
researchers found that each of the diets accomplish the same results.
Starting with each diet’s idea, low fat diets state that fat is
bad for the body they also address that not all fats are dangerous. Low
fat dieters actually admit that some fats are needed to stay healthy. The
low fat diet does not restrict a person from foods that contain fat. In
an online article Choose a Diet low in Fat, Saturated Fat and
Cholesterol, it was stated that “Fats supply energy and essential fatty
acids and promote absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K”.
In contrast with the “good fat”, there is also a negative, which is
the “bad fat”. Saturated fat, which is considered the “bad fat”, has been
linked to high cholesterol and heart disease. It is mostly found in milk
and other milk products. Therefore, the low fat diet encourages its
participants to reduce saturated fat for it is the main cause of high
cholesterol level.
On the other hand, even though low carbohydrate diets do not state that
carbohydrates are bad; they do state that it causes weight gain; this
idea gives most Americans that it is bad because it causes a person to
gain weight. When a person eats foods that are high in carbohydrates the
body produces more insulin, which causes the body to quickly change food
into body fat. This is why the low carbohydrate diets like the Atkins
diet restricts a person to eat very small amount of food that contains

The weight loss industry is a multi-billion dollar machine, perpetually fueled by not only new information, but also data that have remained true for decades. Although it is unsurprising that the human body will lose weight when it expends more calories than it consumes, new findings lead to several alternative diets and weight loss methods that gain much more popularity than the basic concept of eating less and exercising more.

The history of the internet takes us back to the pioneering of the network and the development of capable technologies. The explosion of the internet’s popularity of the 1990’s was large and dramatic, boosting our economy and then helped to bring it into a major recession. One can only hope that the explosion becomes organized and slightly standardized in the interest of the general public. Despite all of these conjectures and speculations only time can tell the future of the largest network in the world.
The American population is fat. What’s worse, we are getting fatter. For many years, a body mass index (BMI) of 27 or more (weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared) was the standard criteria for being overweight, and a BMI of 30 or more was the criteria for obesity. This meant that more than one third of U.S. adults were overweight. In recent years the criteria has been reduced to a BMI of 25 or more to be considered overweight, with the obesity criteria remaining the same. Now, more than 50% of U.S. adults are classified as being overweight. Interestingly, as the number of overweight individuals skyrockets, so too does the number of various diets that Americans are willing to try in their search for the thin standard that our culture idolizes. One of the most popular, and many claim successful, of the conglomerate of diets is the Atkins protein diet, named after its founder and guru Dr. Robert C. Atkins. With more than six million copies in print, Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution proclaims to be "the amazing no-hunger weight-loss plan that has helped millions lose weight and keep it off" (Atkins). Sounds great, but what is this diet, and is it too good to be true?
The internet has been one of the most influential technological advancements of the twenty-first century. It is in millions of homes, schools, and workplaces. The internet offers not only a way of communicating with people around the world, but also a link to information, shopping, chatting, searching, and maps. This freedom to be anyone and to "go" anywhere right from the comfort of home has become a cherished item. However, there is always a down side to every up. Because of the freedom to post anything and access anything on the internet, the issue of regulation has arisen; for example, what should and should not be allowed on the internet? Who has the right to regulate this space that we cherish for its freedom?
In this paper, nutritional habits will be enlightened and evaluated by many topics that are involved in everyday life. The topics that will be discussed are basal metabolic rate (BMR), body mass index (BMI), life expectancy, meal plans, physical activity, demographics, social eating, daily routines, health habits, and health suggestions. The enlightenment and evaluation of nutritional habits will explore by comparing what is an active intake and what national guidelines say is healthy nutrition.
Human beings require food to grow, reproduce, and maintain good health. Without food, our bodies could not stay warm, build or repair tissue, or maintain a heartbeat. Eating the right foods can help us avoid certain diseases or recover faster when illness occurs. These and other important functions are fueled by chemical substances in our food called nutrients. Nutrients are classified as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Although humans need food to survive, many people eat too much, or choose the wrong foods to eat, which leads to the body putting on weight. When you eat more calories than your daily energy requirements the extra calories are stockpiled as body-fat. Slowly these fat cells keep building up and settle on the hips, waist, thighs, upper arms and back, as well as around the heart, kidneys, liver and other organs. Fortunately body-fat can easily converted into energy, however, you must reduce your fat intake and exercise regularly. If you only reduce your fat and don't exercise, your body will also break down muscle tissue and use them for fuel. Many people struggle to lose weight that is put on and that's where weight loss companies come to the rescue.
Although still in its, infancy, virtual reality will have a substantial effect on our future way of life. Virtual reality already has made astounding progress in the world of commercial design, and it is predicted to have a tremendous impact on everyday life as well. Virtual reality, when more available, will have various uses ranging from recreation to basic communication. The applications of virtual reality into different fields of occupations and research will have both positive and negative effects on our society.
In my opinion, ethics give people free will to make right choices. People have free will to make choices that are governed with responsibility, accountability, and liability. We have a responsibility to perform in an ethical manner and be accountable for our choices or actions. Regardless of the circumstances and choices we make, there are consequences if we make the wrong choice. The question of whether an action or choice is ethical or not is fundamentally based on whether something is right or wrong. From an ethical standpoint, unethical choices and risky behavior can lead to increased liabilities. The liabilities result in the loss or damage sustained by a company or other party as result of an unethical and sometimes illegal decision. Although we exercise free will on a continuous basis, we are governed by the decisions we make and my belief is that the decisions we make daily do not just affect us. These decisions affect other people, such as family, friends, coworkers, instructors, neighbors, etc. The most prominent example of ethics can be recognized in the field of technology based on the growing amount of rapidly changing legislation and acts that under consideration in order to protect people from unethical practices.
The ability to superimpose real-time computer animation onto the real world is commonly known as augmented reality (AR). AR differs from virtual reality where it requires the real time markers for it to function. It allows merging of virtual information with the real environment to provide users with more immersive interaction with their surroundings. AR provides new experience of the real world that is unlike another computer animation that draws the users away from the real world and onto the screen (Hainich & Rolf, 2006).
The source adds that, in recent years, augmented reality have been used in more varied ways. Augmented reality has been developed since its inception, for instance, it is now being used in smartphones to help users get better interface experiment, e.g., displaying information for the user about a product, shop or offers. Moreover, augmented reality is being used in global positioning system (GPS) and it is linked to an open-source database that helps users with directions (Hosch). This research paper will….
