KINE 3810 Final Project
For this project, students will research a popular fad diet and apply what they have learned in class to determine whether or not they would recommend that diet to another person.
Project requirements:
- Select a fad diet to research (please note that just because one of these diets makes
claims to be not a diet they all still very much are):
- Keto
- Paleo
- Whole30
- Atkins
- South Beach
- Weight Watchers
- Noom
- Any other that comes to mind
- Do your research on this diet and answer these questions (use this template):
- Name of chosen diet
- Outline the diet
- What does it entail, what are the requirements and expectations
- What foods are on/off limits
- How much food/how many calories are prescribed
- Who is it targeted for (age, gender, etc.)
- What is the purpose of this diet?
- What does it entail, what are the requirements and expectations
What claims do they make to help people? How much does it cost?
Does this diet have coaches who help others? What are their qualifications?
Provide some history on the diet How and why was it started
Based
Does this diet align with recommendations for healthy living?
What are the prudent recommendations that weve covered in class, and how do they compare to your chosen fad diet?
- What are the pros and cons to your chosen diet? (Must explain at least 2 of each)
- Who would you recommend to go on this diet?
And who would you recommend NOT go on this diet?
Is this specific diet necessary for health/weight loss/weight maintenance, or can that be done without a specific diet or label?
Make your case!
