1. Using a 1,500 caloric requirement, calculate and plan a high carbohydrate

diet allowing 70% to 80% of total caloric requirement for carbohydrates.
Prepare a sample menu for lunch.

Carbohydrates: 1500 kcal x .70 =1050/4kcal = 262.5 g = 263 g

Protein: 1500 kcal x .15= 225/4kcal = 56.25g = 55g
Fat: 1500 kcal x .15= 225/9 kcal= 25g

.: Diet Rx 1500kcal: C 263g P 55g F 25g in high carbohydrate diet.

1. What is the importance of the following to the body?
a. Insoluble Fibers
Insoluble fiber attracts water into your stool, making it softer and easier to
pass with less strain on your bowel. Insoluble fiber can help promote bowel
health and regularity. It also supports insulin sensitivity, and, like soluble
fiber, may help reduce your risk for diabetes.

b. Soluble Fibers
Soluble fiber attracts water and forms a gel-like substance with food as it's
digested. This in turn slows down digestion and helps you feel full faster,
which is important in weight management. It may also help lower your risk
of heart disease, regulate your blood sugar, and help reduce LDL
cholesterol.

2. What is ketosis?
Ketosis is a process that happens when your body doesn't have enough
carbohydrates to burn for energy. Instead, it burns fat and makes things called
ketones, which it can use for fuel. Ketosis is a word you'll probably see when
you're looking for information on diabetes or weight loss. Ketosis may be
beneficial for some people, but you should ask your doctor before switching to
a very low carb diet, in case it's not suitable for you. Ketosis is safe for most
people. However, some people may experience side effects, including bad
breath, headaches, and constipation.

3. What are the harmful effects of excessive fiber intake.

Too much fiber in the diet can cause bloating, gas, and constipation. A person
can relieve this discomfort by increasing their fluid intake, exercising, and
making dietary changes. These uncomfortable side effects of excessive fiber
can occur when someone eats more than 70 grams (g) of fiber a day.

4. How does the body make glucose from protein?

The liver supplies sugar or glucose by turning glycogen into glucose in a
process called glycogenolysis. When your body doesn't have enough
carbohydrate on hand, it will turn to protein and fat to make glucose. This
reaction happens in the liver instead of the digestive tract. Your body breaks
down the proteins, fats and enzymes it has to make glucose in a process
called "gluconeogenesis," or the making of new sugar. The down side to
gluconeogenesis is that your body will either tear down existing muscles to
make what it needs or it will use the proteins in your food, which will prevent
those proteins from helping you make new muscles and repair tissue damage.
