DIETING
In this topic, we are distributed in 3 people per group to do a discussion based on the subtopic of ‘Dieting’. It is about ‘The Demographic of Dieting’, ‘Diet pills’ and ‘A Word to Professional’. It is covers about current issues that relating to the phenomenon of weigh control, mental and physical health. In the article also stated the advice to the overweight. They are advised to eat only when hungry and not to be overeating.
In the text, it is also stated a subtopic “Are You Overweight”. From the subtopic, we can know our weight is balance or not compared to our height, age and sex. There is an “ideal weight” chart stated in the text related to the topic.
Besides, there are also the myths of overweight. The advice to diet down to our “ideal” weight in order to live longer is one myth of overweight. There are some others:
· Overweight people overeat
· Overweight people have an overweight personality
· Physical inactivity is a major cause of obesity
· Overweight shows a lack of willpower
When we encourage dieting, we are in danger of violating our oath to “do no harm”.
