Crash Dieting
This day in age it seems like everything is image oriented. This is where "the eatingdisorder" emerges. I believe that an eating disorder is more than anorexia or bulimia, it isalso crash dieting. My reasoning behind this is because as anorexia and bulimia ruin onesbody so does crash dieting. In this article "Yo-yo Dieting Can Lower Levels Of GoodCholesterol" crash dieting or cycling is defined as a person who has lost at least tenpounds intentionally at least three times. I bring this article to your attention because this is no
It could more realistically bepresented as a promoter. Watching food intake and exercising are very important, butonly in moderation. There are many environmental influences that could be direct or indirect whichhighly effect the way a gene is expressed. So Iraise the question, If there is a gene for everything isn't it true that people who have thegene for "bad" cholesterol will at some time be diagnosed. Weight cycling has been found to have tremendous damaging effects on "good" cholesterol. Meaning if you were to have bad cholesterol you would get itno matter what, but it is because you crash dieted that it showed up sooner. It doesn't take a lot to keep ones body as healthy as it could be, butin this case environmental factors such as TV, magazine ads and models have a huge effectwhich is hard to ignore. Just because "bad" cholesterol is found afterdieting doesn't mean it was caused by the crash dieting. For "bad" cholesterol, crash dieting is just anindirect factor. Though I believe greatly in this article and what it is presenting, I repeatedly think back toour class discussions and wonder if things like this are genetic or not. The gene is there and it could show up sooner rather than latter if youdon't take care of yourself. This is not determinate on ifthe individual was a crash dieter of not. Yes, a heavyperson losing weight is a good thing, but only if they are doing it correctly.
