A fad diet is a weight loss plan or aid that promises dramatic results. These diets typically don’t result in long-term weight loss and they are usually not very healthy. In fact, some of these diets can actually be dangerous to your health. Fad Diets are so popular because they target people who want to lose weight and are willing to try anything. They work by targeting your eating habits and normally will reduce your calorie intake to cause you to lose weight.

 

Fad diets can be recognized if they:

Claim to help you lose weight very quickly (more than 1 or 2 pounds per week). Remember, it took time for you to gain unwanted weight and it will take time to lose it.

Promise that you can lose weight and keep it off without giving up “fatty” foods or exercising on a regular basis. If a diet plan or product sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Base claims on “before and after” photos.

Offer testimonials from clients or “experts” in weight loss, science or nutrition. Remember that these people are probably being paid to advertise the diet plan or product.

Draw simple conclusions from complex medical research.

Limit your food choices and don’t encourage you to get balanced nutrition by eating a variety of foods.

Require you to spend a lot of money on things like seminars, pills or prepackaged meals in order for the plan to work.

If someone wants to lose weight they should:

Eat breakfast every day and don’t skip meals.

Eat a variety of foods (including plenty of whole grains, vegetables and fruits) to ensure that you get all of your daily nutrients.

Limit your daily intake of saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sodium.

Limit the amount of sugar in your diet. High-sugar foods are often high in calories and low in nutrients.

Limit liquid calories. Avoid sugary soda, alcohol and juices (choose whole fruits instead).

Watch the size of your portions. Use the nutrition label to determine what a serving size is.

Exercise on a regular basis. The best kind of exercise is exercise that you’ll keep doing, so choose an activity that you enjoy. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes, 4 to 6 times per week.

Be more physically active in your daily life. Park farther away from the door and take the stairs when you can. Get a pedometer or step counter and gradually work up to taking 10,000 steps per day.

Enders Game Setting

The Thrill and The Longing

In this collection I’ve tried to show the feelings and emotions of Ender as he went through training at an accelerated rate, and how he might could have have felt during his trials and at the end of his long and toilsome trail of test and challenges as he defeated his enemies.

I feel that Ethan Frome has many experiences in which if not for his manners, and the way he was raised he would have not handled them in the same way as someone else may have.For instance, when he contemplates leaving Zeena he thinks of leaving her his farm and all his money if he was to leave her, but even then knowing that it would never be enough for her, chooses not to leave her. This shows his honor and well respected side that even though he had been contemplating leaving Zeena he realized he would basically be killing her if he left her with such little money, and so instead stays, even though it causes him much pain.Also, when Ethan is crippled and broken and believes Zeena knows how he loved Mattie he tries to still do things for Mattie and Zeena, because though broke himself he is their primary source of care and without him they would likely die. In this is see a selfless man who though not liking of it and more than likely in great pain because of it does acts of great kindness and selflessness for those he does love, even though in a way he is broken because of them. In conclusion, Ethan Frome’s background keep him from deserting his wife for the one he truly loves and keeps him doing normally acts for his family, that probably cause him great pain.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

By: Kyle Munoz

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Over time the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus has served as a marketplace, a place a cult met, and a place people worshiped the goddess Artemis. Artemis was the goddess of chastity, virginity, the hunt, the moon, and the natural environment. She very was very highly worshipped.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was constructed 550 B.C. by the lydians. It was then burned down 356 B.C. by Herostratus. It was rebuilt 323 B.C. by the greeks, but was destroyed again due to plundering by the Goths, an East Germanic tribe. Its modern location would be found near Selçuk, Izmir Province, Turkey.
