Carbohydrates have been wrongly accused of being the “fattening” ingredient of foods, thereby misleading millions of weight-conscious people into eliminating nutritious carbohydrate-rich foods from their diets.  In truth, people who wish to lose fat, maintain lean tissue, and stay healthy can do no better than to attend closely to portion sizes and calorie intakes and to design an eating plan around carbohydrate-rich fruit, legumes, vegetables, and whole grains. 

For this assignment, I want you to do some research on the “Keto Diet”.  Please write a 1 page (double spaced, 12 point – Times New Roman) abstract on the Keto Diet and the benefits and controversy surrounding this “diet fad”.  This assignment is for your knowledge and if the “Keto Diet” is truly something people should be participating in.  For any research articles found and used for this assignment, please cite them in APA style. 

 Visit the Healthy People 2030 website, Topics and Objectives page (Links to an external site.)  (Links to an external site.) and explore some topics of interest to you. Discuss how epidemiologic methods are used to evaluate Healthy People 2020 objectives. Give an example. The example can be one you created or one from an actual study. Include the primary goal/purpose of the descriptive or analytical study, design type in the category chosen, uses of analytic or descriptive type, at least one advantage and disadvantage of the design type.
