  • Recommended for the secondary prevention of coronary heart disease
  • Reduces the risk of coronary atherosclerosis/thrombosis
  • Protective against other chronic diseases such as cancers
115
Q

Why do Mediterranean Diets contribute to weight loss and reduction in CVDs?

A

1) + vegetables = + fibre, satiety effect, calorie reduction
2) high fibre foods have high water content, gastric distention -> eats less
3) olive oil replaces other fats (like saturated), PUFAs are more readily oxidized, not stored as easily
4) Energy density, foods aren’t very high in energy

116
Q

What do high protein, low CHO diets encourage? Why does it promote weight loss?

A
  • Emphasis on consuming meats, eggs, dairy products
  • Reduction in CHO: intake (may be as little as 20-30g/d)
  • Goal: promote weight loss by inducing a mild ketogenic state
117
Q

Are high protein diets effective?

A
  • May be an effective way to lose weight for overweight and obese individuals
  • Individuals at risk for CVD with high serum TG levels lost more weight and fat when consuming a hypocaloric high protein diet compared to a standard protein – high CHO diet
118
Q

Name 4 mechanisms that could explain why protein could help with weight loss.

A
  1. Satiety effect
  2. Thermic effect of feeding
  3. Reduced serum TAG (strong independent risk factor for CVD)
  4. High protein diets can also help improve glucose control with type 2 diabetes
119
Q

How do studies with six months or less compare to studies with 12 months compare in terms of protein and weight loss?

A

• HPLCDs promoted weight loss, lowered plasma TG levels, generally
improved HDL profiles, and improved LDL
• Weight loss not sustained, no improvement in CVD risk factors compared with other weight-loss methods

120
Q

Why is there no long-term benefit for high protein diet (possible mechanisms)?

A
  • Consume a lot of meats that are high in saturated fats -> fats are stored and not oxidized
  • Also, reduced consumption of fruits and vegetables : source of antioxidants and fibre
  • Higher proportion of fat compared to a normal diet
121
Q

Which chickens are neutered male chickens?

A

Capons

122
Q

Differentiate types and styles.

A
  • Type: whether the poultry is fresh, frozen, cooked, sliced, canned, or dehydrated
