APPRECIATION
First and foremost, We are so grateful for being able to complete this task and
we would like to thank Puan Balkkis bt Abdul Aziz. We too feel glad that we had
enough time to analyse the question and to collect the materials related to the task
given. Even though at the beginning we were having some problems in identifying
the sentence type, but with the help of our beloved lecturer as she has helped us by
giving some guidelines and brilliant ideas regarding this assignment, finally we had
completed this task successfully.
Other than that, we wish to thank all our family and friends who give us full of
support and help in completing this task. Without all of them, it would had been more
difficult for us to do this assignment as the task is quite challenging and it needs a lot
of reading and understanding in order to produce a good assignment .
Besides, this coursework also did inspire us to do a lot of research to find the
right answer from many sources. For example, we did some revision for this
coursework from several books and also surfing internet to gain any additional
information about this coursework.
Last but not least, I really hope that our lecturer will be satisfied with the task
as it is a good process of learning for us.

Outline of the Article
Article on Health : Is This Any Way To Lose Weight?
Main Ideas and Supporting Ideas
1. Introduction
Gary Taubes Book, article on why we get fa and what to do about it.
Taubes calls his ideas as an alternative hypothesis for why we get fat
The Obesity Experts are wrong! Says Taubes.
The fact is that the way we get fat is we take in more calories then we
expend.
Gluttony and Sloth hypothesis, we eat too much and exercise too little.
Taubes theory, you overeat because you’ve developed a disorder in the
way your fat tissue is regulated. Fat isn’t the enemy, easily digested
carbohydrates. For example, white rice, sauce, cheese, steak and
burgers.
2. Diets Don’t Work
Can’t get a clinically significant effect from cutting calories.
Banatric surgery altering your digestive system.
If you cut calories, you’ll be hungry all the time.
Studies in animals show if you restrict energy intake, cells actually burn
less energy.
3. It’s Impossible To Count Calories
![Page 6: my part](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082820/563dbb8d550346aa9aae2c83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How actually do you have to match calories in to calories out.
Nobody can match calories in to calories out with precision.
Consume 20K a day. For example, a single bit of MCD hamburger,
couple sips of coca-cola.
4. Exercising Won’t Keep You Thin
By exercising more energy intake is needed. You expend and the
hungrier you become.
Things likely to do is skipping lunch and might exercise more.
There’s no evidence that exercise has any effect on weight. If exercise
more it will be less likely to gain weight over time.
Foods which are rich in carbohydrates and starches will literally make
you fat.
There’s a complete disconnect between the fundamental science and
the cause of human obesity.
People get fat because they eat too much and exercise less.
5. You need to eat food that keeps insulin low
Fat cells as a long term bank account, where your body stores access
calories as fatty acids.
Fat cells are getting fatter and fatter, but can’t get at the fatty acids that
are stored inside them.
6. A Low Carb Diet is the Key
![Page 7: my part](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082820/563dbb8d550346aa9aae2c83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
A Low carb diet actually does better than a low fat or a low calorie fat.
You have 1200 to 1800 calories per day with a low carbohydrate diet
you could eat as much as you wanted.
Eat what you want until you’re satisfied. You just don’t eat the things
that would make you fat.
Sentence Types
![Page 8: my part](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082820/563dbb8d550346aa9aae2c83/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
A group of words that forms a complete thought. A sentence begins with a capital
letter, ends with an end mark, and has a subject and a predicate. The types of
sentences are simple,compound and complex.
Simple Sentences
A simple sentence, also called an independent clause, contains a subject and a verb,
and it expresses a complete thought. Examples of simple sentences found in the
article, Is This Any Way To Lose Weight? By Gary Taubes.
1. Obesity experts have gotten things just about completely backward.
2. It had never crossed my mind to do that.
3. The weight just dropped off.
4. I gained weight every year.
5. The biggest study so far on low carb diets came out last year.
6. Twenty calories is like a single bite of a MCD hamburger.
Compound Sentences
A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a coordinator.
The coordinators are as follows: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.Except for very short
sentences, coordinators are always preceded by a comma. Examples of compound
sentences found in the article, Is This Any Way To Lose Weight? By Gary Taubes.
1. I’ve got a pastry chef coming and gourmet butcher.
2. I eat eggs and bacon for breakfast everyday.
3. So, you get hungry and you eat again.
4. The two things you’re likely to do are that you might skip lunch, and you might
exercise more.
![Page 9: my part](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082820/563dbb8d550346aa9aae2c83/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
5. Our mothers grew up believing refined carbohydrates and starches were
fattening.
6. But the reality is that your fat tissue is more like wallet, and your meals are like
going to ATM.
Complex Sentence
A complex sentence has an independent clause joined by one or more dependent
clauses. A complex sentence always has a subordinator such as because, since,
after, although, or when or a relative pronoun such as that, who, or which. Examples
of complex sentences found in the article, Is This Any Way To Lose Weight? By Gary
Taubes.
1. You eat what you want until you’re satisfied.
2. But insulin locks the money in your wallet, so you’ve got to keep going back to
the ATM.
3. And in most of studies that have been done, a low carb diet actually does
better than a low fat and low fat calorie.
4. If you take in an extra 20 calories a day and put it into your fat tissue, you will
gain 9 kilos every decade.
5. There’s no compelling evidence that exercise has any effect on weight.
6. Scientist have known since the early 1960s that insulin is the primary hormone
that regulates your fat tissue.
Reflection
![Page 10: my part](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082820/563dbb8d550346aa9aae2c83/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
I would like to thank my lecturer Puan Balkis bt Hj Abdul Aziz. Puan who had
helped us to finish this task by giving us a clear briefing .
I chose this text because the theme is about health which is very informative
and interesting. It provides me an opportunity to gain knowledge as I seldom read
science articles. From this article, I have learnt how to maintain a good health.
I have gained knowledge in using ICT skills. I had to present the main ideas of
the article using graphic organizers. Therefore, I was able to analyze and evaluate
the informations based on the topic. I realized that a graphic organizer attracts
student to concentrate in their studies. Besides, I was able to improve my English
proficiency in reading and comprehension. I have also learnt new words and refered
the dictionary to clarify my doubts in the vocabulary and its meanings..
Furthermore, I learnt to write a brief yet adequate personal response within.
300 words. This is a tough job as a good understanding is required to take notes of
the main ideas.
In conclusion, I’m happy that I’ve completed this challenging coursework which
gave me a new experience.

Personal Response
![Page 11: my part](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022082820/563dbb8d550346aa9aae2c83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The title of the chosen article for this task is ‘Is This Any Way To Lose
Weight?’ by Taubes from The Readers Digest Magazine on October 2011.
The article focuses on how to lose weight. Taubes goes against obesity
expert’s gluttony and sloth hypothesis of why people get fat. Taubes believes that
dieting doesn’t work. In fact he states that by eating less and exercising more is
exactly what people do to make themselves hungry.
The best way to overcome obesity is to practise a low carb diet. Eat as
much as you want but just ignore the food that will make you fat. This theory stated
by Taubes concludes that a low carb diet actually does better than a low fat, low
calorie diet. In my opinion, I certainly feel that a low carb diet is not exactly the best
way to overcome obesity as it is only one of the ways to lose weight. People who
replace bread and pasta with calories of animal protein and animal fat may face an
increased risk of early death from cancer and heart disease. Therefore, Taubes’s
opinion is not the best solution as it has its weakness, too.
Besides, the vocabulary used in this text is too complex, thus simple words
should be used to describe the issue. The main idea in this text can be understood
by the readers better with simple English. Readers would find the article interesting if
they are able to understand the flow of the language. Furthermore, the main points
are not being focused and the ideas are being stated randomly. So, I suggest the
writer should at least mention the main idea in the first sentence before stating
another point.
In conclusion, this is indeed a good article with lots of scientific facts. It is very
informative and interesting. (304 words)
