Discuss various aspects of metabolism, metabolic pathways, and the organic molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) that drive those metabolic processes.

Module 2 (Nutrition and Digestive System) and A & P Chapters 23 and 24 discuss various aspects of metabolism, metabolic pathways, and the organic molecules (carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins) that drive those metabolic processes. Now that you know a little bit about the roles of these molecules and how they are metabolized and used by the body, I would like you to evaluate a diet. Instructions: 1. Pick a diet. It can be one that you have heard of, found on the Internet or even tried. Please do not pick a diet that has been chosen by another classmate, and put the title of the diet in your response. You may want to check out this web site from WebMD (2020) or others that you might find in order to craft your evaluation: Weight Loss and Diet Plans A-Z. 2. Summarize what the diet expects you to eat and why it is supposed to work to lose weight or maintain overall health. 3. Evaluate how “healthy” the diet really is. Use your knowledge of organic molecules to assist you in your answer. For help in determining how much of each organic molecule you should consume, visit the USDA’s ChooseMyPlate web site, which has the latest recommendations for developing your own personal eating plan (US Department of Agriculture, n.d.), and/or the CDC’s Healthy Weight page (Centers for Disease Control, 2020). 4. Explain why you chosen diet is or isn’t good for you. If you thought the diet to be sound prior to your evaluation of the web site, do you still think that it is a healthy diet? Some things to consider in your evaluation: Is this diet nutritionally sound? What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a diet? Are you getting all of the vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, protein, fats, etc. that your body needs while you are on this diet? Is your body able to metabolize the food in this diet adequately?
