There are 4 articles provided only 2 are needed and it only has to be one paragraph. And it also has to go throught turn it in. So please no plagerism.

On the discussion board, using a minimum of two articles that are supporting your PICOT question, submit one paragraph synthesizing the research into clear, concise statements without separately reviewing each of the studies in the paragraph—but by paraphrasing and synthesizing the work that was done.  

PICOT: In type-2 diabetic patient, how does the ketogenic diet compare to a low-calorie diet in the maintenance of weight loss in a one-year time frame?

Coments from the teacher: 

Wow!  This weeks assignment was evidently one that no-one understood.  May I suggest you go back and at least read the lectures posted on week 6!  This lecture stated: 

To synthesize is to combine two or more elements to form a new whole. In the literature review, the “elements” are the findings of the literature you gather and read; the “new whole” is the conclusion you draw from those findings.

“Rigorous methods of quantitative assessment are necessary to establish interventions that are both effective and cost-effective. Usually a single study will not fully address these issues and it is desirable to synthesize evidence from multiple sources.

At this point in the process you should aim for synthesis of the material. Synthesizing means comparing different material and highlighting similarities, differences, and connections. When a writer synthesizes successfully, he or she presents new ideas based on interpretations of other evidence or arguments. Critical reading and critical thinking are key components of successful synthesizing.’

Please look at your paragraph and see if you did this (hint:  most of you did not!)
