Essay / Transformative Journey: From Junk Food to Healthy Choices
The topics of weight management, immunity and infections were the topics that struck me the most. When it comes to weight management, I've learned that diets don't work because they don't make permanent changes. Most diets are high in protein and carbohydrates. Additionally, diet plans are based on marketing. In this topic, I also learned that the BMI chart does not measure body fat and is inaccurate for short people. This topic influenced me because, as I said earlier, in the past I suffered from eating disorders and my weight was not consistent. One week I was super fat and the other week I was super skinny so I didn't know how to manage my weight. The information that the teacher gave us on this topic helped me a lot because now I know that dieting does not work and that there is a right way to lose or gain fat and manage our body well.
