Module 11 Written Assignment – Evaluating Diets
Research a diet currently being used by the public. It can be a commercial diet such as Atkins, Weight Watchers; a regional diet such as Mediterranean; or one that focuses on types of food such as vegan.
Identify the name of the diet and its purpose (weight maintenance, long term health, etc.). Explain its key points in terms of nutrition (focus on protein, carbohydrates, etc.). Also discuss the diet plan and the diet’s strengths and weaknesses. Summarize your paper by evaluating whether you believe the diet is one that is healthy as compared to dietary guidelines. Name the diet and explain what it’s for (weight maintenance, long term health, etc.). What are its most important nutrition points? (focus on protein, carbohydrates, etc.). Talk about the plan for the diet as well as its pros and cons. To wrap up your paper, you should decide if you think the diet is healthy based on the dietary guidelines.
The writing assignment should be no more than 2-3 pages and APA Editorial Format must be used for citations and references used.
