Why do people go on diets? Part 2

I thought this was interesting because people that diet tend to count calories and forget the other elements of nutrition such as vitamins and minerals. And you can eat all the healthy food you wan but until you begin an exercising routine you won't be "healthy." Dieting is dangerous because diseases such as anorexia and bulimia can come about and its like an obsession that you get addicted to in a way. Dangerous, it's very dangerous.

I was wondering if you took that picture or not because it looks like it could have been taken by you and than posted up. Somebody could have puttten those two apples together and a measuring tape around it to make it look like that, like its supposd to represent a person's body. Regardless, I think that this picture is really creative by how it was taken.

your picture is really good, it relates to your topic, did you find it on the web or did you take it yourself? if you did how?

i think people go on diets to simply loose weight. it can be healthy and not necceserly unhealthy like the last comment said. Also, i dont agree with the last comment when she said that being on a deit can be "dangerouse" because people go on deits and they dont always come out to be anorexic or bulmic like she said. Thats only if people take it to a certain degree.

I really like the picture you put up. It shows alot, expessially to people who have tried to be anorexic or have been. My friend did that and i was very depressed. The sad thing was that she did it for a guy...the picture really means a lot to me.

ever heard of a person that goes to mcdonald and orders 5 big macs and 5cheeseburgers for a meal then say they want a diet coke because they r on a diet

this picture is a good one to represent weight loss. if people want to lose weight, they should do it in a smart way

I thought that this picture was really interesting. I like the message that it sends about losing weight

I too agree with all you people. The message this picture sends out is clear. It makes me feel like if I eat more apples, the skinnier I would get. When I look at this photo I see people losing weight due to this healthy, nutritious diet. Though it may not be true, it builds up the self-esteem of certain people.

I really like the topic of your picture. In my opinion, we live in a society and time period in which it's really hard to be yourself. We all change to try to be liked by others. When teenagers look through magazines and see pictures of absolutely perfect celebrities, they feel pressured to look like them. What we need to remember is that nobody is perfect and we must accept our body as it is.

woh I like ur pic it reminds me that i m on diet right now and i like apples tooo

I think people go on diet's to lose weight and stuff. They think that they are unhealthy so they start to eat healthy and lay off more on the fast food and also excercise more as well. People say that oh you are going on a diet because you are fat, that is not neccesarily true because some people love their weight and the way they look they just feel like they need to eat healthy, that is all. There is nothing wrong with going on a diet.

Omg this is such a strong subject soo illbe back l8ter!!!

 This is a very nice image. And whats good about it is that apples are a very healthy snack. and instead of eating healthy, u can also go out and exercise as well. and drink alot of water.

 I think that people go on diets because they cant take how people judge them in public other wise i think they would be fine with how they are now because they think there's nothing wrong with them.

I like the picture you chose to represent that people in America are losing wieght more often. The minute I saw the picture I knew exactly what this discussion post was about. The picture is a very different way to show wieght lost that is happening more often around the world and mainly in America.
