Hi, I am 17 years old female and I would like to try some diet as I want to loose few pounds. I have already made a plan for it when my mother told me that diet may lead to anorexia and it really scared me. I would like to loose my weight but I don't want to get anorexia so please if anyone may tell me something about this I would be very thankful.

Hi, I would say that bad diet may lead to anorexia. Diet doesn't mean that you would stop eating but just to correct your eating habits. Anorexia is disorder where your organism suffers because you donâ€™t take enough food for normal functioning. It may be very dangerous and may disrupt your but good diet with enough calories and vitamins and minerals is not anorexia.

Diets do not lead to Anorexia. They are usually the first sign of Anorexia, but do not cause it. In almost all instances there are underlying emotional issues.
