KINE 3810 Final Project

For this project, students will research a popular fad diet and apply what they have learned in class to determine whether or not they would recommend that diet to another person.

Project requirements:

• ●  Select a fad diet to research (please note that just because one of these diets makes
  claims to be “not a diet” they all still very much are):
  • ○  Keto
  • ○  Paleo
  • ○  Whole30
  • ○  Atkins
  • ○  South Beach
  • ○  Weight Watchers
  • ○  Noom
  • ○  Any other that comes to mind
• ●  Do your research on this diet and answer these questions (use this template):
  • ○  Name of chosen diet
  • ○  Outline the diet
    • What does it entail, what are the requirements and expectations
      • ●  What foods are on/off limits
      • ●  How much food/how many calories are prescribed
    • Who is it targeted for (age, gender, etc.)
    • What is the purpose of this diet?

● What claims do they make to help people? ■ How much does it cost?

○ Does this diet have coaches who help others? ■ What are their qualifications?

○ Provide some history on the diet ■ How and why was it started

● Based
○ Does this diet align with recommendations for healthy living?

■ What are the prudent recommendations that we’ve covered in class, and how do they compare to your chosen fad diet?

• ○  What are the pros and cons to your chosen diet? (Must explain at least 2 of each)
• ○  Who would you recommend to go on this diet?

■ And who would you recommend NOT go on this diet?

○ Is this specific diet necessary for health/weight loss/weight maintenance, or can that be done without a specific diet or label?

■ Make your case!

● Formatting
○ Follow the exact formatting template listed above (10 points)

on what you’ve learned in class:

○ You must provide a references page to demonstrate where you researched your fad diet (10 points)

■ No specific format necessary; include links to websites ○ All papers must be submitted in PDF format (-10 points if not)

● Point

• ○  Content (100 points)
• ○  Formatting (20 points)
• ○  Total of 120 points possible
