  36. Popular Fad Diets • Low Carb Diet All food is made up of three primary macro nutrients – carbohydrates (or sugars), proteins, and fats. Low carb implies that the percentage of carbohydrate (by calorie) is low – but lower than what? ______________________________________________________________________________________ • 3 Day DietThe 3 Day Diet is simply a low calorie diet . There is nothing magical – no mystical chemical reaction that goes on. Weight loss is due to a sudden drop in calories – some of this may be fat – but most will be from water loss. ______________________________________________________________________________________ • Zone Diet The Zone Diet follows a formula of 40% carbs, 30% protein, and 30% fats (sometimes called 40:30:30). This must be followed at every meal. Considered by some to be the perfect diet. ______________________________________________________________________________________ • South Beach DietMost carbohydrates (such as rice, pasta, and breads) must be avoided. Meats, shellfish, chicken, turkey, and fish are all on the menu – along with nuts, cheese (fat-free), eggs, salads, and vegetables. ______________________________________________________________________________________ • Tapeworm DietIt is undeniable that people will resort to extreme measures in a desperate attempt to shed those extra pounds. But ingesting tapeworms in order to lose weight is not only a radical method but also an extremely dangerous one.
