Green Drinks

Are a great way to get vegetables into your diet and make a good healthy snack. They can be high in minerals and vitamins.

If you are not already healthy they won't help as much you hope they would. If you add too much fruit into them they will be really high in sugar like soft drinks and you can get fat.

Green drinks can become a meal when you add raw protein powder,maca powder or chia seeds Because it increases the calories and nutrients and becomes fibre dense

Gluten free is food without the gluten protien. peolple with coeliacs disease hae to eat this type of food or they will get sick.

Paleo is also known as the caveman diet becasue it it what you could hunt or find.

Task

green drinks are marketed as healthy drinks and for losing weight. They are marketed by suppliment, blender,protein shake, super food supplimetn and organic food suppiers. Paleo is marketed as eating non processed foods and getting back to what we should be eating. It is promoted by celeebrity chefs, cafes and restrauants, health food companies making paleo foods and people who do recipe books. Gluten free is marketed as a healthy way to eat. it is promoted by food companies,vitamin companies, cafes and restraunts, other companies that can label product gluten free but they never had gluten in them.

The marketing for these ads would be sucessful becaseu it says it will cleanse you and detox you, It says its easy. Takes 14 days and you only have to have smoothies.

it might be unsucessful becasue it mighht have a lot of sugar in it. It might look like it doesnt taste good and it doesnt work in 14 days

I would be most likely to try the green drinks diet becasue it sounds easier

i would be least likely to try the gluten free diet becaseu you can get heart disease and type II diabeties.
