Problem
Part I: Reflect on a diet that someone you know has tried that promised weight loss (keto diet) . What happened and how did it turn out (short and long-term)? Explain the physiology of that experience and what happened using your current knowledge; including any potential adverse effects. Be sure to include in your discussion what foods were or were not included, what behavioral controls or changes were required, etc.
Part II: Application, Analysis, Synthesis and Evaluation.
Review your family history of chronic diseases that are potentially influenced by nutrition...provide self-assessment of your own situation and reflect upon the risk for chronic diseases we have examined this term. What could you do or what steps could you take to mitigate or reduce your risk for and defend against chronic disease or improve your own long-term health? Further, given what you know about yourself...how would you make the changes and sustain those that are beneficial?
