ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF FOLLOWING A DIET

The term “diet” refers to the the kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats. But, nowadays, people understand diet as a restrictive diet to lose weight or whatever its purpose. I think that is better to say “style of life” than “diet”.

Let's talk about diet in the sense of "restrictive diet"

On the one hand, diet can help people to lose weight and be more healthy. But, I have a small controversy with that because I know people that eat very bad but they are skinny and they don't get fat because they have a very fast metabolism. So, to be skinny is not always synonym of healthy.

The advantages of following a diet can be very good, like have a healthy style of life, feel better with your body, be more energetic, lowers cholesterol, you will reduce the risk of contracting heart disease and and some scientific studies say it improves the sleep cycle.

On the other hand, following a diet has a lot of disadvantages. There are a lot of people that follow restrictive diets and when they get the result that they wanted, they come back to the bad habits and that is because they are tired of follow a restrictive diet. Also, there are people who are obsessed with diets and take it to extreme limits, and that it is very bad and dangerous.

In conclusion, you have to know how to find a balance and not fall into the temptation to follow strict diets because nothing in excess is good.

I also want to add that comments like "you should diet" will be left over, because anyone has asked for your opinion and the other person has mirrors in his house, he doesn't need to be reminded.
