On Weight Issues
Nobody likes to be called a fatso or be labeled as an overweight kid. But sometimes we are misled by what the media shows us about being slim and trimmed. Teenagers are being influenced by the media’s ideas of being attractive and appealing. It’s all about dressing well and looking as slim as the model on the cover page.
Well, I’m not against diets and I think rightly chosen, diets can save lives! There are people who struggle with weight loss and they do need to go on diet! But dieting doesn’t mean aiming to be skinny. To me, it’s about choosing the right foods and eating optimally. Exercise plays an important role to keeping your weight in check so dieting alone isn’t going to solve an overweight issue. There are diets that work and diets that won’t. One should really consult a nutritionist if a proper diet pattern is required. Otherwise, eating a balanced diet of whole grains, healthy fats and nutritious fruits and raw vegetables are a good start.
