Diets have been an altering factor in the prevalence of acne in individuals. A Ketogenic diet has been studied to determine if the low carbohydrate high protein and fat diet altered the impact of acne vulgaris (Paoli, et al., 2012). Ketogenic diet is a diet that almost completely eliminates carbohydrates from the body and solely operate the body on increased portions of protein and fat. The idea surrounding this diet is that the body will constantly run on ketones and cause the body fat to be used and turned into energy. When increasing to such large amounts of protein the theory is that the body will be able preserve lean body mass (Paoli, et al., 2012). There is a saying that “fat burns in the flame of a carbohydrate” and this describes the effect that occurs during the Krebs Cycle when glucose storages are at an extremely low amount. At this point the body must convert protein and fat to glucose to be able to supply the body with the necessary amount to be able to function (Paoli, et al., 2012). Other studies have suggests the idea that a low carbohydrate diet decreases the prevalence of acne vulgaris and this diet would be no different. The goal of a Ketogenic Diet and its relationship to decreasing acne vulgaris can be viewed through a series of tests and the pathways that these ketones follow. When observing ketosis in these individuals it was shown that there were several reduced markers of have inflammation in the acne lesions. Insulinemia was determined to have been decreases and this altered the pathway that IGF-1 has. Because of this it can be determined to be an excellent factor of decreasing the prevalence and aggression of acne vulgaris (Paoli, et al., 2012). The blood glucose levels were taken and the average was... ... middle of paper ... ... increase in acne lesions and sebaceous glands. Those who did the opposite in this study and followed a low glycemic diet saw improvement and decreased their overall amount of acne vulgaris. Carbohydrates play an important role for fueling the body and aiding in proper function. However the type of carbohydrate taken in and how much can have an effect upon the body. A low glycemic diet is for individuals who may need to follow them for health reasons and can also be an option for those who want to decrease the amount of acne vulgaris. Even though this is still in constant research and all of the reason that acne vulgaris is prevalent is not yet certain there are ways to combat it. Following a low glycemic diet is indeed a way to combat the prevalence of acne vulgaris and is another option for individuals to follow if there are no other options available for them.
Isn’t everyone’s goal in life to be able to achieve something amazing? Better yet what about setting great goals as an individual? Wouldn’t you like to better yourself as a person? As Arnold Schwarzenegger once said “you can’t climb the ladder of success with your hands in your pockets”, this simply meaning that a person must be “hungry” and have a great drive to be able to achieve greatness. The feeling of greatness and satisfaction that a person will get from being a healthy, fit individual is unexplainable. Being satisfied with your own body is a very important factor to life itself. People that are healthy are known to live healthy lifestyles as well as to be great in age. There is no negative sides to being healthy, people that are healthy are happy. I plan to take an individual and better them by training them and making them a healthier person. The steps I will go through in order to make this happen are steps such as training the person, making a nutritional plan for them, and being there to support them along the journey. I will be training the person using some fundamentals that have worked for majority of world-class athletes. I plan to use simple bodybuilding tactics as my muscle builder, such as old school techniques that Arnold Schwarzenegger used in the golden ages of the sport itself. As my research has shown, my client and I are both pleased with the “golden era” physiques and we plan to make a healthy/fit body molded like the bodies of that “era”. In this project my client and I have decided to base the “nutritional plan” as a high protein/Low carb diet, which I will release in this paper. Through out this project, it should be well know that this is not an easy sport! And the discipline to stick with it is extre...

Friendships are vital in helping children develop emotionally and socially. They provide a training ground for trying out different ways of relating to others. Through interacting with friends, children learn the give and take of social behavior in general. They learn how to set up rules, how to weigh alternatives and make decisions when faced with dilemmas. They experience fear, anger, aggression and rejection. They learn how to win, how to lose, what's appropriate, what's not. They learn about social standing and power - who's in, who's out, how to lead and how to follow, what's fair and what's not. They learn that different people and different situations call for different behaviors and they come to understand the viewpoints of other people.
The less severe disadvantages surrounding the diet consist of physical weakness, low energy level, slower reaction times, headaches, and dehydration. These less dangerous, yet clearly relevant reactions are due to the elimination of carbohydrates from the diet. Blood sugar levels become very low when carbohydrates are not ingested, causing physical pain and weakness as well as a slower reaction time. Headaches also occur as a natural response mechanism that act as signals for the body that carbohydrates are needed in order to prevent further problems. Moreover, when the body breaks down stored fats t...

In contrast with the “good fat”, there is also a negative, which is the “bad fat”. Saturated fat, which is considered the “bad fat”, has been linked to high cholesterol and heart disease. It is mostly found in milk and other milk products. Therefore, the low fat diet encourages its participants to reduce saturated fat for it is the main cause of high cholesterol level.

However, two large weight loss food corporations, Atkins Nutritionals and the South Beach Company, have successfully marketed their own brand of low carbohydrate diets. These low carbohydrate diets share many similarities, while maintaining distinct modifications between the diet methods.
