FL-  FAD Diet Project due Friday, December 4, 2015

Fad Diet Project

It seems like every few months a new diet is proposed that is supposed to “really work,” unlike those other diets. You are to write a magazine article defining the fad diet of your choice, list the pros & cons of the diet, describe a typical week of meals (with pictures), list the nutritional values of each meal, and describe the consequences of being on the diet long term.

Fad Diet Partial List:

·         South Beach

·         Fat Flush

·         Zone

·         HCG

·         Weight Watchers

·         Atkins

·         Hollywood

·         Jenny Craig
