A. Background
This type of diet is strongly influenced by the background of individual origin or beliefs
held by a particular community.Although humans are essentially omnivores, a community
group usually has a preference or restriction on some foods. Hence the word "diet" can not
be generalized as "not eating". The need for nutrient intake is one of the fundamental needs
for humans to survive. These nutrients must also have nutritional requirements for perfect
fulfillment for a person in completing nutritional needs.
But sometimes the need for these nutrients is hampered when interference occurs in the
digestive system. The disorder is mainly a disorder of the gastrointestinal tract. If a person
has gastrointestinal problems, then there must be a step of rehabilitation, one way is by
doing a healthy diet.
Diet is often misinterpreted as an attempt to reduce eating to get the ideal body weight or
to get the ideal body shape. In fact, based on the origin of the absorption he said, the real
meaning of this is to regulate the diet. Of course, there are still many people who
misunderstand the meaning of their own weight. Therefore need to be straightened out about
the meaning of real weight loss.
Diet is very familiar among women, because indeed most women of course want an ideal
body. This method is believed to help them to consume food with the required portions
needed by the body, so that their weight is also kept controlled and awake In the Nutrition
of Complementary Family Health Nutrition 2009 output of Persatuan Nutritionist Indonesia
(Persagi), Diet has a meaning as a regulation of the pattern and consumption of prohibited,
limited, modified, or supplied foods and beverages for the purpose of treatment of illness,
health, or weight loss.
CHAPTER II
DISCUSSION
In nutrition, diet is the sum of food consumed by a person or other organism. The word
diet often implies the use of specific intake of nutrition for health or weight-management reasons
(with the two often being related). Although humans are omnivores, each culture and each person
holds some food preferences or some food taboos. This may be due to personal tastes or ethical
reasons. Individual dietary choices may be more or less healthy.
Complete nutrition requires ingestion and absorption of vitamins, minerals, essential
amino acids from protein and essential fatty acids from fat-containing food, also food energy in
the form of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Dietary habits and choices play a significant role in
the quality of life, health and longevity.
However not all diets are healthy, there is also unhealthy. So, how healthy diet
specification?
HEALTHY DIET
A healthy diet is one that helps to maintain or improve overall health. It provides the
body with essential nutrition: fluid, adequate essential amino acids from protein, essential fatty
acids, vitamins, minerals, and adequate calories. The requirements for a healthy diet can be met
from a variety of plant-based and animal-based foods. A healthy diet supports energy needs and
provides for human nutrition without exposure to toxicity or excessive weight gain from
consuming more than the body requires. Where lack of calories is not an issue, a properly
balanced diet (in addition to exercise) is also thought to be important for lowering health risks,
such as obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and cancer.
Various nutrition guides are published by medical and governmental institutions to
educate individuals on what they should be eating to promote health. Nutrition facts labels are
also mandatory in some countries to allow consumers to choose between foods based on the
components relevant to health.
The idea of dietary therapy (using dietary choices to maintain health and improve poor
health) is quite old and thus has both modern scientific forms (medical nutrition therapy) and
prescientific forms (such as dietary therapy in traditional Chinese medicine).
UNHEALTHY DIET
The Western pattern diet which is typically eaten by Americans and increasingly adapted
by people in the developing world as they leave poverty is unhealthy: it is "rich in red meat,
dairy products, processed and artificially sweetened foods, and salt, with minimal intake of
fruits, vegetables, fish, legumes, and whole grains.
An unhealthy diet is a major risk factor for a number of chronic diseases including: high
blood pressure, diabetes, abnormal blood lipids, overweight/obesity, cardiovascular diseases, and
cancer.
The WHO estimates that 2.7 million deaths are attributable to a diet low in fruits and
vegetables every year. Globally it is estimated to cause about 19% of gastrointestinal cancer,
31% of ischaemic heart disease, and 11% of strokes, thus making it one of the leading
preventable causes of death worldwide.
So, how we can healthy diet succesfully?
b. Weight Training
A big advantage of working out with weights is that, in addition to shedding fat, you’ll
build muscle. Muscle, in turn, burns calories. Talk about a healthy feedback loop! Experts
recommend working all the major muscle groups three times per week. This includes:
Abs
Back
Biceps
Calves
Chest
Forearms
Hamstrings
Quads
Shoulders
Traps
triceps
c. Yoga
Yoga is not as intense as other types of exercise, but it can help you lose weight in other
ways, according to a recent study by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research
Center. The study found that people who practice yoga are more mindful about what they
eat and, therefore, less likely to be obese.
Incorporating Exercise Into Your Lifestyle
The total amount of exercise you engage in during a day matters more than whether or
not you do it in a single session. That’s why small changes in your daily routine can make a
big difference in your waistline. Healthy lifestyle habits to consider include:
a. walking or riding your bike to work or while running errands
b. taking the stairs instead of the elevator
c. parking farther away from destinations and walking the remaining distance
Activities and the Amount of Calories They Burn
The average adult male who doesn’t exercise requires approximately 2,200 calories a day
to maintain his average weight. A female needs about 1,800 calories to maintain her weight.
The following list contains common activities and the approximate amount of calories
burned per hour:
Activities Calories Burned
playing baseball, golf, or cleaning the house 240 to 300
brisk walking, biking, dancing, or gardening 370 to 460
playing football, jogging (at a nine-minute-mile pace),
or swimming 580 to 730
skiing, racquetball, or running (at a seven-minute-
mile pace) 740 to 920
Before you start an exercise program
Talk to your doctor before you start a new exercise program, especially if you are
planning on doing vigorous exercise. This is especially important if you have:
a. heart disease
b. lung disease
c. diabetes
d. kidney disease
e. arthritis
People who have been very inactive for the recent months, who are overweight, or
have recently quit smoking should also talk to their doctors before staring a new exercise
program.
When you are first starting a new exercise program, it’s important to pay attention
to the signals your body is giving you. You should push yourself, so that your fitness
level improves. However, pushing yourself too hard can cause you to injure yourself.
Stop exercising if you start to experience pain or shortness of breath.

6. Consumption of Foods That Many Fiber
Banana
Banana, Banana is a very delicious fruit and have many health benefits. Bananas contain
high fiber so it can help control your weight. In addition, bananas are also enriched with
potassium, a mineral essential for lowering high blood pressure.
Papaya
Papaya, this fruit is often used as a healthy diet because in addition to high fiber also
contains many essential nutrients for the body.
Yoghurt
Yoghurt, in addition to yoghurt fiber also provides natural probiotics that can suppress the
growth of harmful bacteria in the intestine. Replacing simple carbohydrates with complex
carbohydrates.
9. Simply set the daily diet with the division of healthy eating ratios.
The ratio uses the size of one plate divided into four sections. The portion consists of 1/4
servings of carbohydrate source plate, 1/4 portion of low-fat protein, more than 1/4 servings
of vegetables, and less than 1/4 portion of fruit.
Excessive consumption of carbohydrates will be converted into fatty deposits, which are at
risk of causing increased weight. Carbohydrate sources consist of rice, noodles, or tubers.
For protein, a person needs about 0.8 grams / kg / day. When the weight reaches 50
kilograms then the protein requirement is equivalent to 50 grams. Excess protein intake
increases the risk of impaired or kidney stones.
Protein intake can come from animal (animal) and vegetable (vegetable). For animal protein
intake, it is advisable to eat fish, lean meat, and low-fat egg whites, so as not to cause weight
gain. Here are some examples of protein content in foods:
26 grams of protein contained in 100 grams of red meat
24 grams of protein contained in 100 grams of chicken
19 grams of protein contained in 100 grams of fish
14 grams of protein contained in 100 grams of tofu
8 grams of protein contained in one cup or 200 cc of milk
6 grams of protein contained in one egg
Vegetables and fruits are a source of antioxidants with vitamins and minerals. Anti-oxidants
serve as a defense against free radicals that are widely present in the environment, including
food.
NUTRIENT DEFICIENCY
A healthy diet provides the nutrition your body needs to grow, maintain itself and
function properly. A variety of fresh, whole foods serve as an abundant source of
nutrients. However, the typical American diet often lacks adequate levels of key nutrients
such as potassium, dietary fiber, calcium and vitamin D. Over time, failing to get enough
calcium can cause bone loss, low levels of vitamin D can cause bone weakness and not
getting the recommended levels of potassium can lead to fatigue and muscle weakness.
Fiber helps keep your colon healthy and reduces the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
CHRONIC DISEASE
A nutritious diet provides the nutrients that help your body ward off disease. Over time, a
diet lacking in nutrients and high in fat, salt or sugar can result in the development of
chronic conditions. Following an unhealthy diet increases your risk for cardiovascular
disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer and osteoporosis, according to the Dietary
Guidelines for Americans 2010.
EXTRA POUNDS
When it comes to preventing chronic disease, weight maintenance is of primary concern.
Excess weight is one of the primary effects of an unhealthy diet. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention defines overweight as having a body mass index, or BMI, of 25
or higher. Factors that often contribute to a high BMI include insufficient fruits,
vegetables and whole grains; diets high in meat and fried foods; consistent intake of high-
calorie beverages like soda; and not getting enough physical activity.
THE DOMINO EFFECT
Once your BMI reaches 30 or above, you are considered obese, and more than 35 percent
of adults in America fall into this category, according to the CDC. Obesity increases your
risk of developing a host of health problems including heart disease, Type 2 diabetes,
certain cancers, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, sleep apnea, diseases of the
liver and gallbladder, osteoarthritis and gynecological problems including infertility
DEPRESSION
In a study published in "The American Journal of Psychiatry" in January 2010, the dietary
habits of 1,046 women ages 20 to 93 were analyzed. Researchers found that participants
who consumed a "traditional" diet, emphasizing vegetables, fruits, fish, meat and whole
grains, were less likely to experience depressive disorders than those who ate a "western"
diet, rich in refined grains, sugar, fried foods and processed foods. The western eating
pattern tends to lack vitamins, minerals, healthy fats and fiber -- nutrients that play an
important role in brain function and blood sugar control and, as a result, your moods.
POOR BODY IMAGE AND SELF-ESTEEM
Many psychological professionals see a strong link between self-esteem and nutrition,
says Shirley W. Kaplan, a psychologist affiliated with the American Nutrition
Association. Unhealthy eating habits hinder brain function and cause reduced self-esteem
as a result of foggy thinking, mood swings and confusion. Poor body image is a common
byproduct of overeating, particularly when it causes undesirable weight gain. To improve
appetite and weight control, brain function and the way you perceive yourself, aim for a
balanced, calorie-appropriate diet based on healthy foods.
Why they work: Enjoying the lower-carb version of what you crave will satisfy your
hankering. Moving your body will distract you from the urge to eat. In fact, a study
conducted by researchers at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital in
Boston found that when middle-aged men increased their exercise, decreased TV viewing,
and stopped eating between meals, they lost an average of three pounds without really
trying1.
Situation: You always eat popcorn and other high-carb snacks at the movies or sporting
events.
Solutions: Eat before you go. Bring some soy chips with you if you crave something
crunchy, or tote an Atkins Advantage® nutrition bar or a perfectly portioned resealable
plastic bag of nuts. Keep your hands busy by tracking the score at a ball game. If you arrive
early for any event, bring a magazine to flip through.
Why they work: You’ll get the sensory pleasure you crave with the snack alternative. And
you’ll distract yourself from wanting to eat by score-keeping or reading.
Situation: You turn to food for emotional comfort when you’re stressed out.
Why they work: Relaxation techniques are the only things that counteract the impact of
stress on the body. A study found that when people who suffer from night-eating syndrome
—which is often associated with stress—practiced 20 minutes of a muscle-relaxation
exercise daily for a week, they exhibited lower stress and anxiety and less of an urge to eat
in the evening2. Exercise is helpful because it releases feel-good brain chemicals that have a
calming effect on the body and mind.
Solutions: Save one of your between-meal snacks for the ride home, and keep a water bottle
handy. When you’re doing Atkins, you should be eating regularly, so be sure to have a good
breakfast, and take the time to eat at well-chosen intervals. You’re more likely to feel hungry
when you’ve eaten erratically during the day.
Why they work: If you’re truly hungry after work, the snack will stave off your appetite until
dinner. But you may just be thirsty, since people often confuse thirst for hunger. (A flavored,
no-sugar-added water drink can offer a nice way to refresh yourself without carbs.)
Solutions: Brush your teeth right after dinner, then fill the time with a stimulating activity
such as reading a good book, checking e-mails, doing a crossword puzzle, calling a friend or
playing a board game with your kids.
Why they work: Brushing and flossing your teeth lets your body and brain know that you are
done eating for the day, especially because you won’t want to have to do it again before bed.
Engaging in a stimulating activity will take away the post-dinner urge to eat, which is
usually due to boredom.
Situation: You overeat at parties.
Solutions: Never go to a party hungry—it’s better to go with a full stomach—and don’t have
more than one drink. While you’re there, keep a glass of water in your hand, and stand away
from the buffet table. Seek out the cheese, nuts and other low-carb options.
Why they work: If you show up at a party hungry, it’s easy to overeat when faced with a
myriad of tempting food choices. Also, alcohol, particularly wine, can stimulate appetite and
cause people to consume more calories than they would if they drank something
nonalcoholic3. Holding a glass of water will prevent you from grabbing food unconsciously.
If you want to enjoy an alcoholic beverage after Induction, opt for a white-wine spritzer to
decrease the amount of alcohol you’re consuming.
