    The Triple Threat Keto diet involves following a ketogenic or low-carb diet while also incorporating intermittent fasting and consuming only low-carb soup. Proponents claim it promotes weight loss and lowers insulin and cholesterol levels. However, it is an extremely restrictive diet that is unsustainable long-term due to limiting meals to only soup and severely restricting carbohydrates, which are an important part of a healthy diet. The diet can be considered a fad diet rather than a healthy lifestyle due to its strict rules and unsustainability.

    PART A

    The article I chose is from Woman’s World and was published on October 18, 2021. The
    article, written by employees at Woman’s World, is called “Triple Threat Keto.” The main point
    of the article is the effectiveness of a revamped version of the well-known keto diet. It is a soup
    diet that also involves intermittent fasting as well as keto. People that follow this diet would eat
    low-carb soup in order to achieve their goals of losing weight. The lack of carbohydrates forces
    the body to rely on body fat as an energy source known as ketones. The prevalence of ketones
    then results in greater fat-burning. This soup could be consumed at any time of the day as long as
    it is in the 8-hour eating window, as intermittent fasting involves fasting for a 16-hour cycle. The
    article states that hunger isn’t a great concern, as solid foods turned into liquid broth “turn off”
    hunger signals.
    The Triple Threat Keto diet not only promotes weight loss but also brags of a decrease in
    insulin levels. The fasting portion of the diet is also stated to release body chemicals that lead to
    faster healing, optimizing hormones, and feeling energized. One follower of the diet experienced
    drops in cholesterol levels and got rid of her diabetic neuropathy.
    Long-term, the Triple Threat Keto diet would be very difficult to follow for many
    reasons. For one, there is very little flexibility within the diet. Because the diet limits meals to
    only soup, it would be a challenge to participate in social events without knowing soup will be
    available. Also, there is plenty of evidence that carbohydrates are essential to the diet. In fact,
    avoiding carbohydrates tends to be counterproductive if the carbohydrates come from whole
    grains, fruits, and legumes. Therefore, a keto, or low-carb, diet is simply unnecessary and more
    trouble than it is worth for most people. Also, only consuming liquids for such a long time could
    result in a digestive system that no longer responds well to solids.
    Dr. Fung, the author of Obesity Code, promotes this diet with great confidence. He
    supports every claim made in the article regarding the benefits of intermittent fasting, a keto
    approach, and only eating soup. I, however, cannot agree with this diet. I believe that the Triple
    Threat Keto diet is extremely unsustainable and overly complicated. I also think that
    carbohydrates and a steady source of fuel are fundamental to a nutritious, fulfilling diet. In
    conclusion, this is a Fad Diet due to its unsustainability and strict rules.

    PART B
    The Triple Threat Keto diet has six points from the Fad Diets side of the chart and one point
    from the Healthy Diet Guidelines. The one point is only because the diet doesn’t require any
    specially advertised foods. All other parts of the chart do not apply to this diet. Therefore, this
    diet can most definitely be described as a Fad Diet. The Triple Threat Keto diet eliminates solid
    foods and restricts carbohydrates to a great extent. Although there are many ways in which this
    diet could be improved, I can think of a few that stick out. For one, the addition of at least some
    solid foods would be beneficial. Eating only soup is very restrictive not only on the body but also
    socially. Second, the inclusion of carbohydrates would be great as they are essential for the body.
    Most people function better in general while avoiding a state of ketosis.
