There are so many diet trends around. Some of them are used as marketing tools for so-called healthy foods. Many people believe that they are allergic, or sensitive to components of wheat, dairy, or other ingredients. Sometimes there is merit to this, but not always.
Choose one of the following topics to investigate and start a Thread. Write about your findings as follows: Indicate the reasons one might choose adopt the dietary pattern you choose and what the professed benefits are, if any. Do you believe that the claims are accurate? Why or why not? Could some of these choices be beneficial for some people but not for others? What are the risks, if any? Share your personal experiences, or those of friends and family, if you wish. Your main post should be about 250 words and include at least one credible reference. Text is OK as a second reference.
Please write using your own words only – Do Not Copy From The Internet! Quotes from your source(s), if any, should be used sparingly, or preferably not at all, and referenced. Your post should ideally be conversational, yet informative.
Topics:
- Ketogenic Diets – you may choose one in particular, or discuss the concept in general
- Gluten Free – for example is it gluten, especially in wheat, that causes issues for some people, or something else?
- Completely Grain Free (such as Paleo)
- Dairy Free – specify whether you are talking about lactose (milk sugar), casein, or both.
- Carb Loading (athletes will be familiar with this)
