Functional Foods in Health and Disease 2017; 7(9); 702-715. https://doi.org/10.31989/ffhd.v7i9.346 ABSTRACT Fad diets can be defined as any diet making claims that are unrealistic and not supported by evidence-based data. Having been developed since the early 19th century, fad diets promise drastic weight loss and/or other unsubstantiated health claims while often omitting entire food groups. Their popularity with the public makes them an important topic for nutritionists and clinicians, especially in the framework of the obesity epidemic. Additionally, it is conceivable that components of fad diets can indeed facilitate weight loss, even if the diet overall is without merit. The grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet, and the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) diet are among the most popular fad diets and are reviewed within this study not only in terms of the diet plan itself, but also in terms of possible and known weight loss and health benefits provided by the foods on which the diets are based.

  • Some Fad Diets' Promises Sound Too Good to Be True
    Some Fad Diets' Promises Sound Too Good to Be True Item Type Article Authors Brannon, Patsy M. Publisher College of Agriculture, University of Arizona (Tucson, AZ) Journal Arizona Land and People Rights Copyright © Arizona Board of Regents. The University of Arizona. Download date 30/09/2021 18:05:47 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/10150/295319 Some Fad Diets' Promises Sound Too Good to Be True Many overweight Americans, as well as some who just want to lose By Dr. Patsy M. Brannon 5 pounds, keep searching for an easy, guaranteed weight- reducing diet. Nutrition and Food Science Promoters of such diets are delighted to aid in this consumer quest, so the number of fad diets continues to increase along with the pro- moters' profits. Fad diets tend to be nutritionally unbalanced, to focus attention on only one type of food or nutrient, to appeal to the consumer with faulty logic, to neglect the issue of weight maintenance, or to make excessive claims for weight loss. The body stores excess energy, measured in kilocalories, as fat. One pound of fat represents 3,600 kilocalories of energy. To lose one pound of fat, you must expend 3,600 kilocalories more than the number in the food you eat. It is not unusual to see claims by a fad diet that you can lose 10 pounds in one week. Take a closer look at this excessive claim: Ten pounds of fat means 36,000 kilocalories. To lose that by dieting in one week, you would have to eat at least 5,000 kilocalories per day less than you normally would.

  • The Modified Atkins Diet in Children with Prader-Willi Syndrome
    Felix et al. Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases (2020) 15:135 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13023-020-01412-w RESEARCH Open Access The modified Atkins diet in children with Prader-Willi syndrome Grace Felix1,2, Eric Kossoff3, Bobbie Barron4, Caitlin Krekel4, Elizabeth Getzoff Testa5 and Ann Scheimann1,6* Abstract Background: Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is the most common genetic cause of obesity. Various dietary strategies have been used for weight management for people with PWS. Methods: This was a clinical feasibility study to test the use of the Modified Atkins Diet (low carbohydrate and high fat) for children with PWS ages 6–12 years who were overweight/obese. Participants went on the Modified Atkins Diet for 4 months and then returned to have anthropometry repeated including repeat labs and behavior questionnaires. Results: Seven children (ages 6–12) were enrolled in the study. Four participants completed the 4-month diet trial; two were unable to comply with the diet and stopped prematurely. One patient lost 2.9 kg; the others maintained their weight. Adverse effects were increases in LDL (expected based on larger studies) and hypercalciuria (with no renal stones) for one patient. Positive effects on hyperphagia and behavior were noted subjectively by families. Conclusion: The Modified Atkins Diet can be a feasible low carbohydrate option for children with Prader-Willi Syndrome for weight management. Long-term use of the diet in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome needs to be studied further. Keywords: Prader-Willi syndrome, Pediatric obesity, Obesity, Diet, Low-carbohydrate diet, Ketogenic Introduction insatiable appetite, hyperphagia and obesity.

  • Quick-Start Guide Welcome from Sharon
    QUICK-START GUIDE WELCOME FROM SHARON My story is simple: I was sick and tired of constantly being overweight. I wanted to stop feeling uncomfortable in my clothes and wanted to start living a healthier life. I’ve had a few friends who got results on the Atkins Diet, so I took a look at what Atkins had to say—and I decided to give it a try. I was astonished when I lost over 23 pounds in my first six weeks.* Wow! Plus, as you can see, it’s still off years later! Like most people, I can be a little impatient—if don’t start seeing and feeling a change quickly, I’m gone. I just can’t stick with a diet program where I don’t see results right away. With Atkins, I was amazed at how fast the weight started coming off, and I was even more amazed at how easy it’s been to keep it off. On Atkins I eat decent-sized portions of the foods I love, so I never feel deprived or resentful. I’ve never found any other diet where you can lose weight and feel fabulous while eating warm, indulgent comfort foods! Just about everything in my life has improved thanks to the changes I’ve made with Atkins. I’ve always been a high-energy person, but now I have even more energy than I’ve ever had in my life. I can do more for myself and for my family, and that’s what’s most important to me—being able to enjoy more time with Ozzy and the kids, and knowing that I’m taking care of myself.
