Are They Selling Us
Baloney?
Are 'low-carb' diets really effective? Do diets really work? These frequently asked questions and more are
answered throughout this article in an effective tone that manages to quickly
capture the reader’s attention. The
article suggests that diets are not as effective as the media makes them out to
be, and are nothing more than an ongoing trend that people feel compelled to
try. The facts stated are backed up with
reasonable explanations that explain the points that are brought forward and
argued. Although the information
provided was helpful and very beneficial, I feel as though there were multiple
points that could have been more elaborate as the arguments had the potential
to be much stronger. With that being said,
the points put forward were generally powerful enough to support themselves,
however unless readers acquired some form of background knowledge on the topic
of nutrients and health, I do not believe that the article offers as much
information as it has the potential to do.
Overall if certain minor details were to be added, or even if some of
the facts were to be reworded than I believe that it could be more successful
with regards to the information that is obtained by the readers.
