FAD DIETS

Prof. Garry Wong


Fun in Health Science
GEST1007
19 and 24 September, 2024
After today’s lecture you should

• Know characteristics of a FAD diet

• Know how to eat when on a ”Paleolithic diet” or


”Ketogenic diet”

• Calculate number of calories used for an


activity/exercise per minute for your weight
Nutrition basics Review
Macronutrients: required in relatively large
amounts (measured in grams)
Carbohydrates
Protein
Lipids/fats
Water

Micronutrients: required in small amounts


(measured in milligrams or micrograms)
Vitamins
Minerals
Food Guide Pyramid
What is a FAD diet ?
1. Quick weight loss
2. Promotes nonstandard foods Beyonce juice detox diet
or combinations of foods
3. Excludes or diminishes some
foods or nutrient groups
4. Fashionable
5. Advertised by celebrities
6. Popularity
7. Some limited scientific

Comparison to nutritionist
recommended variety, moderation
and balanced diet
Example 1: Paleo diet
• Proposed 1970s
• Other names: Paleolithic
diet, Stone Age diet,
hunter-gatherer diet and
caveman diet
• Nutrition plan of foods
hunted and gathered for
thousands of years.
• Avoids processed and
fatty foods
• Not limited in food
options
• Does not control caloric
intake
• No salt
• Some scientific evidence Paleolithic period – 2.5 million – 8000 b.c.
good for diabetics

Other scientifically proven benefits
• Weight loss
• Increased satiety
• Reduced inflammation
• Glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity
• Boost immune system
• Improve lipid profile
• Decrease lifestyle disease risk (heart disease,
diabetes, cancer)
Why paleo might work ?
Ketodiet

Halle Berry
Example 2: Ketogenic diet
• Proposed 1920s to treat
epilepsy in children
• Mimics body biochemistry
during fasting
• Promotes body to burn fat
which produces ketones
(ketogenic)
• Low in carbohydrates
• High in fat and protein
• Nutrition plan of ketogenic
foods.
• May need micronutrient
supplements
Balanced:
• Some scientific evidence
Carbohydrates 45-65%
short term weight benefits
Fat 20-35%
Protein 10-35%
Ketodiet
Example menu
Breakfast: Mushroom omelet
3 eggs
3 mushrooms
1 oz shredded cheese
Butter
43g fat, 25g protein, 4g carbohydrates, 490 calories

Lunch: Caesar salad


Iceberg lettuce
6 oz rotisserie chicken
1 oz Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp Caesar dressing
31.1g fat, 63g protein, 2.2g carbohydrates, 553 calories

Dinner: Chicken breast with herb butter and vegetables


1 chicken breast
¼ oz olive oil or butter for cooking
Herb butter: 1.25 oz butter + chopped garlic + fresh herbs
6 oz green beans
8 oz leafy greens
64g fat, 63g protein, 3g carbohydrates, 850 calories
Total calories: 1,893 + snacks (nuts, beef jerky, cheese)
For reference only
Pathway for ketone production
Scientific support for ketogenic diet
• Epilepsy in children
• Rapid weight loss usually within 2 weeks
• Weight loss in obesity

Calculating calories used when
exercising (see lecture #2)?
Calculating calories used per MET per
min
• Calories burned per MET per min = 3.5 x weight in
kg ÷ 200

• Example of a man weighing 60kg, sitting for


one minute:

3.5 x 60kg ÷ 200 x 1 min = 1.05 calories burned


per MET per minute
How many calories used ?
• The number of calories consumed by 60 kg
person sitting for 16 hours and sleeping 8
hours

1 (MET) x 1.05 (calories) x 60 (minutes) x 16


(hours) + 0.9 (MET) x 1.05 (calories) x 60
(minutes) x 8 (hours) =

1008 calories + 453.6 calories = 1461.6 calories


Calculating calories used when
exercising ?
• Calories used per MET per minute = 3.5 x weight in kg ÷ 200

• Example: Garry 60kg, jogging for 40 minutes:

First calculate: 3.5 x 60kg ÷ 200 = calories used per MET per minute =
1.05

The number of EXTRA calories Garry can therefore consume


in a day following this routine would be:

7 MET (jogging) x 1.05 calories x 40 minutes = 294 calories


Calculating calories used when
exercising ?
• 294 calories equivalent in food
• www.webmd.com/diet/healthtool-food-
calorie-counter

Two Chicken breast no skin 284 calories


One McDonalds Hamburger 250 calories
Steamed white rice 1.5 cups 300 calories
Choi sum 1 kg 300 calories
Summary
• FAD diets come and go, some are useful for
specific medical conditions, but do not adhere
to the principles of a healthy diet for normal
people.

• Calories used during exercise can be


calculated exactly and used to determine the
amount of food needed to consume to be
equal.
Exercise #10 (1 point)
Name:
Student Number:

• 1. How many calories do you use when you jog for 45 minutes ?

• 2. What can you eat that is close to the amount of calories you
used in the question above ?

• 3. Will you gain weight or lose weight if you eat 1 McDonald’s


hamburger after jogging 45 minutes ?
