Any discussion of current issues related to nutrition have to include an examination of dietary prescriptions, specifically those we would refer to as "Fad Diets". Please do some research about a fad diet that is or has been popular in recent years. Describe the implementation of the dietary plan, the underlying theoretical foundations for its supposed success (physiological, biochemical, lifestyle, etc.) and fully summarize at least 2 citations/studies examining the actual affects and/or successes of the diet. Finally, how would you characterize what the professional's role should be in promoting or prescribing this or any such dietary plans or "Fad Diets."
