With the new fad of being ultra skinny or ultra ripped, many people will asking the question does eating right or in some cases not eating at all lead to these conclusions? I believe the answer to this is that not all people can and will be ulta skinny or ripped beyond belief unless taken to extreme measures. This is due to the fact that all peoples body compositions are different and make our bodies different than anyone else. For example between me and my mom we could eat the same meals and same amounts of these meals but her at my age would just be smaller becuase of many factors including her metabolism and bone structure. These factors are what in many cases lead to eating disorders.
Many women and even some men would admit that were at one time or another victims of an eating disorder. This is how many women get down into shape in their minds by being ultra skinny, but they are ruinig their health. Women if having experienced an eating disorder record having some physical problems after their experiences and in all cases mental disorders because now a days eating disorders are classified as mental disorders. This is the problem with todays society they advirtise skinny unobtainable bodies that women starve themselves for instead of following a healthy diet. Good nutrition is improtant in all people even if you dont look like the magizines. A persons nutritional health cannot always be seen from the outside but only seen from what they eat everyday. People born naturally skinny can still be in bad health with their eating habits but still be skinny while larger people could be healthier in the way that they eat even know you wouldnt be able to tell from the outside. This all depends on a persons body composition and food works in peoples bodies in different ways and in extreme cases some will resort to anything to have whats in their opinions "a perfect body."
I can realate to this very well. When I was younger I always knew i was "bigger" than my friends. Big hips seem to run in the family. But as I got older I learned that all people come in different shapes and sizes and that being unhealthy is not a way to "fix" yourself. I saw this through my friend who has an eating disorder. She has never been large. Infact, she's always been very skinnny all her life. She is recieving help and has put on some pounds. She's now realizing that being unhealthy is not worth being stick thin.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this article. Many people do not understand that just, because you start eating healthy the pounds are going to fall off. It is frustrating for many, because going on a diet take a lot of work, and you diet has to be tweaked all the time to meet your specific needs; and these specific needs are always changing. It is also a misconception that eating less can take the place f excercise. By eating very little or not eating at all your body is sent into starvation mode. This is when your metabolism decreases, because it is trying to get as many nutrients as possible. This is due to the fact that your body doesn't know when the next meal is. So, just eating "healthy" alone will not help weight loss, it is important to rememebr that the only way to lose weight is diet AND excercise.
