Two ways of weight loss: Healthy and dangerous
Through the years, society have got a whole new concept of what being happy could mean; it is not about how you feel, it is more about what others would think about you. People find themselves wanting to be somebody else as long as they look “good”, but what is the meaning of “good”? The real meaning is translated into skinny, the skinnier they are, the happier they will be, so it’s more about “the look”. This new change in the way of thinking, lead to several problems in society due to the fact that people do whatever is necessary to “take off” weight, but the question is: Is it really helping you? Are you doing something for your health, or are you trying to just get ripped off those extra pounds?
We will be studying two ways of getting ripped off those extra pounds: The healthy way and the dangerous one, What is the main point of losing weight? Why should we do it one way or another? What is the real point on this process? Is it harming you or helping you?

“Weight Loss: a decrease in body weight.”
“Protein: Any of a class of nitrogenous organic compounds that consist of large molecules composed of one or more long chains of amino acids and are an essential part of all living organisms, especially as structural components of body tissues such as muscle, hair, collagen, etc., and as enzymes and antibodies.”
“Carbohydrates: any of a large group of organic compounds occurring in foods and living tissues and including sugars, starch, and cellulose”
“Water: a colorless, transparent, odorless, tasteless liquid that forms the seas, lakes, rivers, and rain and is the basis of the fluids of living organisms.”
“Vegetable: a plant or part of a plant used as food, typically as accompaniment to meat or fish, such as a cabbage, potato, carrot, or bean.”
“Fruit: the sweet and fleshy product
