glucose
What would this mean for very low-carb diets? 

-Carbohydrate
 
-Low-carbohydrate diet, that is, strictly limit the intake of carbohydrates in the diet and increase the intake of protein and lipids.

If the brain is most reliant on carbohydrates for energy, very low carbohydrate diets can be very harmful. Although, there will be an initial reduction in weight loss, long time restriction leads in changes in brain chemistry which can impact our mental health and cause symptoms of depression and anxiety.]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976796 High protein pee dvan66021 https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976797 We love to take protein to fuel our muscle growth. However our muscles can absorb only a certain amount of protein, the rest is used for other functions or pee'd out. 
Have a look at the abstract of the study in this link and get an idea of how much protein you should be eating per meal for maximal muscle growth (assuming you consume 4 meals a day). Note it down here.

It helps the foods move to intestines smoothly

Fibre can impact the size and weight of stool and can soften it so that muscles in the intestine can push waste out of the body more easily. Fibre helps prevent constipation and allows the maintenance of bowel health.

We should consume more unsaturated fats, limit saturated fat consumption and avoid trans fats]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976805 Fats make you fat dvan66021 https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976806 Do they though? Assess this statement.  No, it depends what fat did you eat and how many did you eat.

Fats are essential part of a healthy and balanced diet and help the body absorb essential vitamins. A low-fat diet doesn't aid in weight loss or in reducing disease compared to high fat diets. The amount of carbohydrates eaten determine weight gain and loss more than fats. Fat consumption can actually aid in weight loss as foods such as avocados, salmon and nuts are rich in fat, but are quite healthy in diets.]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976806 REMAKE dvan66021 https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976808 PLEASE REMAKE THE PADLET BEFORE WORKING ON IT]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976808 Vegetarian nutrition dvan66021 https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976809 It is often stated that vegetarians need to be weary about their protein intake. Is there any truth to this? Evaluate. 
-Yes, it's because they cannot get sufficient protein absorption when they only eat plant based foods, although there are protein in them.

Vegetarian diets can provide quite a lot of protein, but not paying attention to protein intake can cause loss of muscle mass and can slow metabolism. Vegetarians have to be more weary and eat more to get the same/enough protein as those who might eat meat. Not paying attention to nutrients can very easily lead to a deficiency and an unhealthy diet.

This includes the breakdown of your food into molecules that can be absorbed into your blood. 
Name an enzyme that takes part in your digestive process. Hint: enzymes almost universally end with the suffix "ase". 

One type of enzyme involved in the digestive process is Amylase which helps break down starches and carbohydrates into sugars

Cutting out carbohydrates always leads to weight loss

Cutting out carbohydrates can help with weight loss and can be very effective as it aids in the reduction of appetite. However, many studies find that around 12 - 24 months, the amount of weight loss is much smaller. Cutting calories and carbohydrates aren't the only way to lose weight. Another note is that drastically cutting out calories/carbohydrates may produce the opposite effect. Eating too little can cause increased hunger which prompts more intake of food in the long run. With high restriction, muscle is burned instead of fat so people may not actually see a change in numbers on the scale.

All fats raise cholesterol levels. 

Not all fats raise cholesterol level. Only saturated and trans fats can increase blood levels of cholesterol and bring along the risk of heart disease. Healthy fats such as unsaturated fats which include monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can actually improve blood cholesterol levels, lowering triglycerides which are fats/lipids found in blood. Unsaturated fats help reduce inflammation, allowing the production of stronger cell membranes. ]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976817 Energy density dvan66021 https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976818 37 kJ/g]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976818 Energy density dvan66021 https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976819 17 kJ/g]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976819 Energy density dvan66021 https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976820 17 kJ/g]]> 2021-03-10 03:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/dvan66021/mqceyhffoawifysi/wish/1290976820
