1.    Angelo White, Dana. "Healthy Debate: Are Detox Diets Safe? | Healthy Eats – Food Network Healthy Living Blog." Food Networks. N.p., 29 Nov. 2010. Web. 16 Apr. 2013. <http://blog.foodnetwork.com/healthyeats/2010/11/29/healthy-debate-are-detox-diets-safe/>.

I like this article because it backs up my argument that diets can be unsafe. The author seems to know what she is talking about.

2.    Ylisela, Mary. "The Best Way to Get Fit in Two Months | Healthy Living - azcentral.com." Healthy Living - azcentral.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Apr. 2013. <http://healthyliving.azcentral.com/way-fit-two-months-10423.html>.

This source doesn’t seem to be too helpful. It is a very short article and I don’t know that it necessarily pertains to my topic. But it does however stand on my side of the argument.

3.    McDowell, Patrick . "Basics of a Proper Diet | Healthy Life Journal." Enjoy Healthy Living, Live a Healthy Life, Sustain Good Health. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Apr. 2013. <http://healthylifejournal.org/articles/basics-of-a-proper-diet/>.

I think this journal article will really support my side of the argument. It advocates for a healthy lifestyle of living instead of hardcore dieting. Unfortunately there is no publication date!

4.    Jegtvig, Shareen. "Weight Management: Why Are Fad Diets Bad?." About.com Nutrition. N.p., 11 Mar. 2013. Web. 16 Apr. 2013. <http://nutrition.about.com/od/diets/a/fad_

The reason I like this source is because it was recently updated and goes along with my topic.

5.    Ansel, Karen. "Is Gluten Bad for Your Body? | Women's Health Magazine." Women's Health: Health, Fitness, Weight Loss, Healthy Recipes & Beauty. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Apr. 2013. <http://www.womenshealthmag.com/health/gluten-free-diet>.

I am not sure how good this source will be, but I think that the publisher and author are credible.

  1. These are good sites for your primary research (i.e., what diets are promising). It will be interesting to look at what medical professionals have to say on these, and also to look at how scholars who study popular culture and trends have written on the appeal of fad diets (which have around FOREVER, and we keep thinking they're going to work GREAT! Really interesting topic!
