Critical Analysis of Popular Diets and Dietary Supplements

Course Description:

There is much controversy and anecdotal information about popular diets and dietary supplements, but all too often little scientific or controlled clinical data. We examine the science behind normal mechanisms of weight control, and how weight loss diets are constructed and work. The aim of the course is to acquire the knowledge to critically appraise a weight control diet or dietary supplement and choose the best plan for success, both in the short-term and the long run. Students taking the actual class will, in addition to learning the lecture material presented here, complete in-class assignments where they choose a popular diet or supplement, research the scientific literature on this diet/supplement, and present a critical appraisal of its validity and efficacy.

Note: This is not an instructor led course

Weight control diet or dietary supplement is chosen widely for weight loss. Even the guide minceur is efficient as it guides about healthy diet and recipes. The guide minceur is available at this website. Exercises is also a good way to shed weight.
