Do you think someone should go on a diet, if they're a kid and they think they're fat, but they're not?

Question

some ppl in my school go in diets when they're really not fat, and i don't thinlk they need to but I want other opinions

Answer 1

Children should not be going on diets while at a young age. The effects could be serious. These kids should just exercise plenty and eat healthy. I also beleive that children should start to balance out their diets though. And make sure they are not eating too much fat and sugar. If they are then that person should eat a fruit or vegetable ASAP!!! ; -)

Answer 2

Usually the "I'm fat" approach is just to get attention, but if the kids are actually going on diets it could be a sign of something worse. Kids and teenagers especially should not go on diets (unless that means less junk food and more veggies and fruits) because it could interfere with their growth. Also starving themselves slows their metabolism and in the end makes them eat more.

Answer 3

Kids that are not fat should not go on a weight-loss diet.

However, kids should start taking their every day diets seriously so that they will not have a need to go on a weight-loss diet in the future.

Answer 4

Kids should not go on diets it's not healthy. If they think they are fat it is a self-esteem issue.

Answer 6

Answer 7
