| Do Not Run To Extremes With Your Desire To Lose Weight |
A lot of people may starve themselves because as they are supposed to look a certain way. Actors and actresses are thin, and very thin models show off most fashions. But this look is no sensible for most people if not to mention physically damaging to the models and stars that fight to maintain it. By the time they turn 12 or 13, a lot of teen girls begin to go through body changes that are normal and essential: Their hips become wider, their breasts enlarge, and suddenly the way they look may not match girls in ads. Boys develop at different rates, too. Those boys you see in clothing ads are usually in their twenties. Any diet on which you get fewer calories than you have to get through the day can be risky. Diets that don't allow any fat also can be dangerous for your health. Everyone has to get certain amount of fat in his or her diet, so no one should eat an absolutely fat-free diet. Don't fall for diets that limit certain food groups, either. A diet that forces you to get rid of bread or pasta or forces you to eat only fruit is unhealthy. You won't get the vitamins and minerals your body requires. And even though you may lose weight, you'll almost certainly gain it back as soon as you begin eating in usual manner again. Some people begin dieting because they think all the problems in their lives are because of overweight. People who diet may get lots of admires and compliments from friends and family when they begin losing pounds, which makes them feel perfectly. But finally a person doesn't lose as much weight as before because the body is trying to keep a healthy weight. People in these conditions eventually find out that, even if they do lose weight, they aren't any happier. Some people may find it hard to control their eating, so they join an extreme diet for a little while, but then eat terrible amount of food. Eating too little to keep a healthy weight (anorexia) or eating only to throw up the calories (bulimia) are both eating troubles, which are dangerous to a person's health. Someone with an eating trouble needs medical treatment right away.
