Diet Craze

The easiest part in dieting is the first few days when you first cut down on your food intake and replace your usual fastfood with veggies, fruits and juices.

It becomes a lot easier if you're a vegetarian by choice. The toughest part lies of course in imposing self-discipline.

Some people with enough cash but not enough discipline to diet simply consult their nearest plastic surgeon for some fast body sculpting work.

Simply put, the main challenge of dieting is keeping those hunger pangs at bay and fighting through the pain of exercise and temptations of food commercials.

Thus the appearance of such weight loss reality programs as the "Biggest Loser" and the continued popularity of those aerobics videos in the market.

Never mind if those aerobics videos are populated by those supermodel types in the mold of Cindy Crawford and Claudia Schiffer and not the sweaty, hopelessly grating Richard Simmons-though if you're as big and annoying as Jack Black YOU DESERVE Richard Simmons.

But teenage boys and girls need be reminded that having the perfect body is the result of a ongoing growth process that reaches its critical phase in adolescence.

Thus any messing around done by teenagers on their health with crash diets, steroids and other unproven weight loss measures may not only stunt one's growth but even put one's life in danger.
