Learn how to use these Fitness Tools and remember... the teenage years are a period of rapid growth and development. Please understand that fad dieting can keep you from getting the calories and nutrients you need to grow properly and that dieting can retard growth.

Stringent dieting may cause girls to stop menstruating and will prevent boys from developing muscles.

If your diet doesn't provide enough calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D, your bones may not lay down enough calcium. This may increase your risk of osteoporosis later in life.

So instead of dieting because "everyone" is doing it or because you are not as thin as you want to be, try to learn from these Fitness Tools and find out from a doctor or nutritionist whether you are carrying too much body fat for your age and height.
