Sometimes teens feel unhappy with their weight, and what comes to most teens (mostly girls) minds is, dieting. That's probably one of the worst idea's, especially when it comes to us teens ,when our organism hasn't fully develop.
Why Do Teens Diet?
Teens diet for many reasons here are the top three:
~one is all the pressure they feel by watching others who are extremely fit.~two they get influence by another person that diets.
~three some play sports and want to be in top physical condition.

If you want to change your health habits, here are some tried-and-true tips:
Exercise! Find a sport you like, walk to school, or ride a bike a few times per week.
Drink milk, including fat-free or low-fat milk. (Many teens mistakenly think that milk has more calories than other drinks like soda. But a cup of skim milk has only 80 calories as well as protein and calcium. A can of soda has 150 calories of sugar and no other nutrients at all.)
Eat a variety of foods, including plenty — at least five servings a day — of fruits and veggies. (And no, unfortunately, potato chips don't count as veggies!)
Drink plenty of water (at least four to six 8-ounce glasses a day).
Eat lean, high-protein foods, like lean meat, chicken, fish, or beans.
Eat whole grains (like whole-wheat bread or pasta), which provide fiber, B vitamins, and iron.
Eat breakfast. Studies show that people who eat breakfast do better in school, tend to eat less throughout the day, and are less likely to be overweight.
Choose smaller portions at fast-food restaurants. Avoid super-sizing even if it feels like better value.
Stay away from fad diets — you might lose a few pounds temporarily, but if you don't focus on changing your habits, you'll probably just gain it back when you go back to your usual way of eating.
Don't take diet pills, even ones you get over the counter.
Avoid seeing foods as "good" or "bad" or eliminating entire groups of foods, like dairy. If you eliminate entire food groups, you may miss out on important nutrients, like calcium.
If you choose to become a vegetarian, talk to your doctor or dietitian about how to make nutritious vegetarian choices.
(And always remember the key to healthy weight is not diets, but a good healthy nutrition)
