 * 1) Low-carbohydrate diet
 * 2) Ketogenic diet
 * 3) Diabetic diet

My three initial wikipedia articles are focused on Ketogenic or low-carb diets and the effects they have on the body, particularly for those with type II diabetes. I picked them because they coincided with my interest in the use and potential positive side effects of these diets, as I have even used such a diet for a period of about three weeks.

For my preliminary searching I used google to look up various research articles and meta analyses from sources such as the national center for biotechnology information. These articles presented more information about the effects that low carbohydrate diets have on individuals with type II diabetes, including control of blood glucose levels and weight loss.

I have not found anything particularly surprising that has caused me to make any changes, as what I have read has been very similar to what I expected to find. However, that could be subject to change as I continue to research the topic.

I plan to add more information on the effects of this diet type on the concentration of glucose in the blood and the maintaing or loss of weight.
