Working Bibliography

From EBSCO:

1. Bryngelsson, Susanne, and Nils-Georg Asp. "Popular Diets, Body Weight And Health: What Is Scientifically Documented?." Scandinavian Journal Of Nutrition 49.1 (2005): 15-20. Academic Search Premier. Web. 16 Apr. 2013.

Although this article is about 8 years old, it seems very reliable and helpful to my research. It talks about three different popular diets and how they compare to the official dietary recommendations.

2. "Atkins And Other Low-Carbohydrate Diets: Hoax Or An Effective Tool For Weight Loss?." Lancet 364.9437 (2004): 897-899. Academic Search Premier. Web. 16 Apr. 2013.

This article discusses the popular fad diet – the Atkis diet – and whether or not lowering carbohydrates really helps lose weight.

 3. Tapper-Gardzina, Yvonne, Nancy Cotugna, and Connie E. Vickery. "Should You Recommend A Low-Carb, High-Protein Diet?." Nurse Practitioner 27.4 (2002): 1. Academic Search Premier. Web. 16 Apr. 2013.

This article sparks my interest because it talks about low-carb, high-protein diets. I’ve been taught that high protein is good for you and would like to find out more information on this using this source.

 4. Cohen, Pieter A., Alberto Goday, and John P. Swann. "The Return Of Rainbow Diet Pills." American Journal Of Public Health 102.9 (2012): 1676-1686. Academic Search Premier. Web. 16 Apr. 2013.

This source is all abut diet pills!

5. "MORE ON HEART DISEASE AND DIET PILLS. (Cover Story)." Harvard Heart Letter 10.11 (2000): 5. Academic Search Premier. Web. 16 Apr. 2013.

This source is also about diet pills and how they are not good. This supports my side of the argument for my topic! J

6. Cogan, Jeanine C., and Paul Ernsberger. "Dieting, Weight, And Health: Reconceptualizing Research And Policy." Journal Of Social Issues 55.2 (1999): 187-205. Academic Search Premier. Web. 23 Apr. 2013.

When reading the overview of this article it looks very promising for my paper because it supports my stance on the issue of dieting. It gives support for why dieting can be unsafe, which is exactly what I need.

7. Ogden, Jane. "Cognitive And Motivational Consequences Of Dieting." European Eating Disorders Review 3.4 (1995): 228-241. Academic Search Premier. Web. 23 Apr. 2013.

This source is great because it uses a study as the base behind the article. They did surveys of people who dieted and who did not diet and compared how they felt and what changes they experienced.

8. Joseph D. Tobias, et al. "Psychologic And Physiologic Effects Of Dieting In Adolescents." Southern Medical Journal 95.9 (2002): 1032-1041. Academic Search Premier. Web. 23 Apr. 2013.

This source is about the negative side effects of dieting especially in teenagers or young adults.

9. Richard B. Kreider, et al. "Changes In Weight Loss, Body Composition And Cardiovascular Disease Risk After Altering Macronutrient Distributions During A Regular Exercise Program In Obese Women." Nutrition Journal 9.(2010): 59-77. Academic Search Premier. Web. 23 Apr. 2013.

Love this academic journal source because it talks about the positive effects of the macronutrients. Not only do I think these are important, but it’s great support for my paper.

10. McCarthy, Michael. "Diet Pills Are Right For Few Patients." Lancet 348.9043 (1996): 1724. Academic Search Premier. Web. 23 Apr. 2013.

This article is about how diet pills are not all cracked up as they are made to be. This will be good support for why dieting certain ways are not healthy.

From Google:

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.

6. http://www.choosemyplate.gov/weight-management-calories/weight-management.html

This website is great! It isn’t just one article, but it is a whole website about being healthy and how to eat a balanced diet. It has links to many other articles and information.

7. http://wellness.ucr.edu/Danger%20Signs%20of%20a%20Fad%20Diet.pdf

This source is from a college and basically lists the dangers to look for in “fad-diets”. I like this a lot but I am not sure that it will be too reliable or something significant enough to use for my research.

8. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health//public/heart/obesity/wecan/eat-right/index.htm

The National Heat, Lung, and Blood Institute published this article and I trust it very much. It is about the basics of eating a healthy diet…not promoting dangerous diets. It also has links to other sources!

9. http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/eat-clean-diet-review

This article is published on Webmd’s website and I believe that it is very reliable. It is about losing weight by eating clean foods, which is exactly what I support!

10. http://www.jcdfitness.com/2010/09/clean-eating-is-a-scam-and-why-you-should-abandon-it/

This article is going to be very useful for my paper because it supports the opposite side of what I want to support. It is very good to have other opinions and views in your paper so you recognize all sides.
