Low-carbohydrate diet

popular fad diet I could find. I was rather begrudged that I spent my favorite holiday; Halloween, studying and preparing for upcoming tests and that there wasn’t any good spooky movies on the television. So, to make up for my inability to celebrate Halloween, I looked up the top ten unusual fad diets, and the one I found to be the most ridiculous was The Werewolf Diet. As Stephen King’s number one fan, I was attracted to this diet for obvious reasons. This is a diet that celebrities, and fad…

servings. It is evident that my diet did not conform to the serving numbers recommended in CFG. I’m not consuming nearly enough milk or grain products while my meat and alternatives intake is astronomical in comparison. I predicted that my milk and alternatives score would be very low as I don’t include dairy products in my diet other than chocolate milk and creamer in coffee. Because of the avoidance of dairy products, my milk and alternatives servings value was very low. The CFG also suggests…

artificial sweeteners are not a healthy alternative, and Aspartame is no different. This artificial sweetener, accidentally found by a researcher, known as James M. Schlatter, who was working on a treatment for stomach ulcers in 1965, is commonly found in diet sodas, sugar-free gums and Jell-Os, and children's medications/vitamins among many other food products. Aspartame is nowhere near a better alternative to natural table sugar with its undesirable and sometimes downright dangerous side…

9) Drink Black Coffee Coffee has more uses than just waking you up in the morning, studies are showing that coffee, specifically black coffee, can help you control your weight and manage your hunger pangs. A study done by researchers at Brooklyn College showed that caffeinated coffee significantly lowered hunger during the study period. Eleven men, all at a healthy weight, were given one of three beverages: caffeinated black coffee, water with caffeine, or decaffeinated coffee, they were then…

starting to make sense. But then I realized she depended on me and my family to keep her alive. Diabetes puts her life in risk in many scenarios. If we give her the wrong amount of insulin she could crash, causing her blood sugar numbers to be unsafely low, which will make her unconscious. If we don’t give her enough insulin, her numbers could be too high causing her to go into a coma. It’s a constant struggle, which sadly will never…

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for living beings; its consumption is vital to our existence. The Carbohydrates play various roles in our body; the main ones are the nutrition and energy supply. The body will use every trick to keep the fed cells, as the glucose supply cannot stop. Foods rich in carbohydrates, such as breads, cereals, rice and pasta, are an important form of energy for the body and, therefore, are very important to a healthy diet. However, when consumed in excess,…

30 µl measurements of 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6 and 20 mg/ml were added into their own sample of the 3 ml Bradford Assay, 30 µl of water was added to a separate sample of Bradford Assay and 30 µl of the dilute liver homogenate was added to its own sample of Bradford Assay and left for 3 minutes. The absorbance of the standards and the diluted homogenate samples were recorded to create a standard curve. From this equation, the protein concentration of my sample was determined. Class averages were also…

million people with diabetes in China alone in 2025. There are two different types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is more common with hereditary and more effects children who are born with it. Type 2 is most commonly developed over time with poor diet and exercise. Type 1 injects insulin medicine because their body stops producing the natural insulin, substitute of a hormone form the pancreas, to control blood sugar. Type 2 is where the body still produces insulin naturally, but not…

the common foods. The organic molecule that we use for this lab are monosaccharides of sugar, protein, starch, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Introduction Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are organized as the ring structures and always compose the carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms that represent by the structure of H2O. The carbohydrates are important of the basic molecules that involved in the structural in the energy metabolism. It is also performing the important…

Carbohydrates are macronutrients which can be found in all types of food. A carbohydrate molecule contains carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen (Yacoub, n.d.). When found in food, carbohydrates can be starch, sugar, and fiber. Carbohydrates can either have simple or complex forms. For example, glucose, a sugar, is a monosaccharide; these are carbohydrates in their simplest form (Timberlake, 2006). When only a few of these monosaccharide are linked together, they create oligosachharides. If many of the…
