Hello! Sam is back! Okay today I'm gonna tell you why you should not go on UNHEALTHY DIETS.


For example, not eating at all, eating very little or taking lots of pills to help you lose weight etc;

And if you end up OVERDOSING..

..you'll end up in one of these. Or maybe your kidneys will fail you, and you'll have to look high and low for someone willing to donate one. Possibly, you might not find that kind, compatible soul, and you'll still end up in a casket.

So, lose-lose situation.


Anyway, unhealthy diets also make you more prone to illnesses & chronic diseases! Which means that you restrict yourself from eating for nothing, because your body suffers. Being overly thin is not only unpleasing to the eye (all those jutting angles!), it is also reallyyyyy bad for you.

When you don't eat enough, you don't get enough nutrients (Carbohydrates/Proteins/Fats)!

When you don't get enough carbohydrate & fats, you lose you energy source, which makes you feel listless & tired all the time! You won't be able to concentrate, your grades suffer, you get stressed out! Image from http://www.delafayetteworldmedia.org/man_desperation.jpg!


Some people deal with stress by binging - so you ruin your efforts. Others deal with stress by eating even less - starting the cycle again.

See the vicious cycle?


Lack of protein?

KIDNEY & HEART & SKIN problems. Hair loss! You wouldn't want to become bald prematurely would you?

Severe protein deficiency also causes KWASHIORKOR, according to Mr Johari. Kwashiorkor is a form of child malnutrition that causes swollen abdomens, thin limbs, and sometimes greyish-blond hair.

This kid is NOT FAT. She is starving and malnutritioned because she does not have any food to eat, not because she voluntarily starves herself.
We should be thanking our lucky stars that we have food on our tables, not throwing it in plants or spitting it out in napkins behind our parents' backs.
Okay I shall end here, more another day because I have to go write an essay for english!
LOVE,
SAM(:
