If you approach the issue of choosing a diet from a scientific point of view, then excess weight or dissatisfaction with your figure is not an indication for changing your diet.

Even if you've never had such a goal - to monitor your waist size, there are some things everyone should know.

How to make a decision about choosing a diet without harming your health, reports the publication "Gorodprima" with reference to endocrinologist and nutritionist Pavel Baranov.

There are people who watch their figure to please others. There are people who don't care about this issue until a certain time.

But in any case, there is a risk that dieting or not dieting will affect your well-being.

How to check?

In order not to make a mistake in making a decision, the specialist pays attention to the following symptoms.

A diet is necessary if:

  • suddenly feeling tired or lacking energy;
  • my knees and back hurt;
  • snoring appeared in my sleep;
  • I suffer from insomnia;
  • it became difficult to climb the stairs;
  • small physical activities are difficult;
  • if you have to update your wardrobe often,
  • I just don't like your reflection in the mirror.

You can start to worry if three of the proposed criteria correspond to your situation.

But even after this, you can’t deny yourself food and sit half-starved. The first correct step is to make an appointment with a nutritionist.
