Essay

Celeste has been trying to lose weight for the past five years without much success. A friend tells her about a special diet plan that restricts carbohydrates but lets the dieter eat unlimited amounts of fat and protein. Celeste decides to try this diet, so she stops eating carbohydrate-rich foods such as pasta, bread, rice and potatoes. She also avoids sweet foods and beverages, including most fruits. Instead, she starts eating a lot of meat and fatty foods to supply her calorie needs.

After a few weeks, she also notices that her breath has an odd, sweet smell to it.
