About the Author

Hello, my name is Skylar Gayman. I am currently a Junior here at the University of Central Florida. I am pursuing my bachelors in Kinesiology with focus in Exercise and Sports Physiology. My post graduation plans are to go forward and obtain my masters in Dietetic and become a registered dietician. I have always found health and wellness fascinating, and am honored to have had the opportunity to use my knowledge of nutrition and physiology to deep dive a topic. Thanks to UCF's High Impact Course program and Dr. Ethan Hill, I have been able to broaden my understanding of nutrition which will help to aid me in my future endeavors.

Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement

Dieting fads have been a fascination across America for many years. “Have you tried the keto diet?” “What about a low carb diet?” But what many people may not know, or consider, is the physiological effects that these may have on the body. Dieting faddists often find themselves in “bad moods” or “irritable”, lacking the energy necessary to maintain physical activity. Weight loss, although necessary for borderline obese and obese populations, has become a hyper fixation of our population. Often leading us to find “quick fixes” to the very simple, yet well-disciplined answer of a healthy diet and exercise to lose those “last 5 pounds”. To better understand the effects of these fads, the examination of the effects of a low and high carbohydrate (CHO) diet on the average American is necessary. There is a lack of information on the effects these caloric mutations have on the body of a person who does not perform vigorous activity daily. The population that partakes the most in these diets are left with little evidence of its effects on their own body. The purpose of this investigation is to close the gap on the effects of CHO intake and its effects on the average optimal healthy individual. Of course, it must be noted that Registered Dietitians are the only personal able to give sufficient advice and evidence to a change in diet.
