“…İnsanların estetik kaygılarını, minimum çaba ile daha iyi görünme ve daha iyi hissetme zaafl arını bilen kişilerce ticari amaçla piyasaya sürülmüş, bilimsel dayanağı olmayan, kısa ve uzun vadede kiloyu ve sağlığı olumsuz etkileyen moda diyetler, çoğu kişide kilo kaygısının artmasına, diyet yapmanın yaşam tarzı haline gelmesine yol açmaktadır (6). Bu diyetlerin çoğu düşük kalori içerdiklerinden uygulandığında kişileri zayıfl atabilir ancak bu diyetlerle genellikle devamlılık sağlanamaz ve diyetin bırakılma durumunda kilo alma olur (7,8).…”

The present study was planned to investigate the methods and effects of these methods previously applied by obese patient admitted to the nutrition and diet clinic of Gaziantep Şehitkamil State Hospital. The research was performed with a total of 382 individuals, 345 women and 37 men, with a body mass index of 30 kg/m2 and over. Before applying to the clinic, 71.2% of the individuals had tried to lose weight. 74.3% of these had lost weight; however, 96% of those who had lost weight re-gained weight. The rate of using any of the popular diets was identifi ed as 17.8%. Three popular diets most commonly used were the starvation diet (61.8%), cabbage diet (30.9%), and Dukan diet (8.8%). The proportion of the individuals using any weight loss methods was 70.8%. The methods used most frequently to lose weight were eating less food (79%), cutting down foods containing carbohydrate (61.4%), skipping meals (54.8%), exercising (52.9%) and slimming tea (45.9%). The rate of weight loss interventions was lower among the individuals whose monthly income was lower (p< 0.05). The individuals with an over-weight (obese) body perception attempted to lose weight at a higher ratecompared to those with weak/normal, light-weight body perception (p< 0.05). Women used any of the popular diets at a higher rate than men (p< 0.05). Health problems experienced as a result of the method applied included hunger, weakness, dizziness, gaining more weight, gastrointestinal disorders, impaired blood biochemistry, heart palpitations, psychological disorders, cessation of menstruation, and increased acne. 22.2% of the individuals applied to the clinic in order to lose weight healthilyunder the control of experts. Obesity is regarded as a problem, and most weight loss methods that are used are unhealthy ones. Losing weight in a healthy manner should be carried out by gaining healthy eating habits, bringing these habits into life style, and supporting these with exercise under the control of experts.

Comparative Fuel Yield from Anaerobic Digestion of Emerging Waste in Food and Brewery Systems

Food waste (FW), a major part of the US waste stream, causes greenhouse gases within landfills, but there is an opportunity to divert FW to anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities that produce biogas and digestate fertilizer. The composition of FW inputs to AD determines the value of these products. This study provides insight into the effect of waste composition on the quality of AD products by first characterizing the biogas and digestate quality of anaerobically digested FW from four diets (paleolithic, ketogenic, vegetarian, and omnivorous), and then estimating the difference in biogas produced from codigested FW and brewery waste (BW). Waste feedstock mixtures were incubated in lab-scale bioreactors for 21 days with live inoculum. Biogas quality was monitored for 21–30 days in four trials. Samples were analyzed using a gas chromatograph for detection of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The composition of the waste inputs had a significant impact on the quality of biogas but not on the quality of the digestate, which has implications for the value of post-AD fertilizer products. Wastes with higher proportions of proteins and fats enhanced biogas quality, unlike wastes that were rich in soluble carbohydrates. Codigestion of omnivorous food waste with carbon-rich agricultural wastes (AW) improved biogas quality, but biogas produced from BW does not necessarily improve with increasing amounts of AW in codigestion.

“…A "fad diet" can be described as any diet making claims that are unrealistic and not supported by evidence-based data [12]. Other frequent characteristics of fad diets include emphasis on a certain food or food group, omission of certain foods or food groups, claims of drastic weight loss (> 1.5 kg/week), and other health claims [13].…”

Background: Fad diets can be defined as any diet making claims that are unrealistic and not supported by evidence-based data. Having been developed since the early 19th century, fad diets promise drastic weight loss and/or other unsubstantiated health claims, often omitting entire food groups. Their popularity with the public makes them an important topic for nutritionists and clinicians, especially in the framework of the obesity epidemic. Additionally, it is conceivable that components of fad diets can indeed facilitate weight loss, even if the diet overall is without merit. The grapefruit diet, the cabbage soup diet, and the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) diet are among the most popular fad diets and are reviewed within this study not only in terms of the diet plan itself, but also in terms of possible and known weight loss and health benefits provided by the foods on which the diets are based. Bioflavonoids in grapefruit, including naringin, hesperidin, and bergamottin, may benefit glucose homeostasis. Cabbage contains lutein, zeaxanthin, kaempferol, quercetin, and apigenin, which have anti-inflammatory properties and improve both glucose homeostasis and fat metabolism. The hCG diet is frequently supplemented with non-hCG preparations, which often contains African mango, which has been shown to enhance weight loss by an unspecified mechanism; astragalus root, which has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma receptor agonistic properties; arginine, which stimulates lipolysis; glutamine, which has been shown to enhance weight loss, perhaps by altering the gut microbiome; carnitine, which appears to facilitate weight loss; B12, which improves insulin resistance; and niacin, which improves the dyslipidemia associated with overweight/obesity. Presently, high quality clinical trials suggest that fad diets reduce weight in the short term due to drastic caloric restriction rather than functional food properties. However, the proof of principle has been demonstrated, and clinical trials of the functional foods utilized in fad diets are much needed.Keywords: functional foods, Fad diet, weight loss, naringin, hesperidin, and bergamottin
