Frequent weighing turns teenage girls towards unhealthy lifestyles
Zee News, India -
Eating Among Teens was designed to investigate the factors influencing the eating habits of adolescents, to determine if youth are meeting national dietary recommendations, and to explore dieting and physical activity patterns among youth. The project strives to build a greater understanding of the socioeconomic, personal, and behavioural factors associated with diet and weight-related behaviour during adolescence so more effective nutrition interventions can be developed.

Teenage Girls gain more Weight with Frequent Weighing on Scale
Best Syndication, CA -
The study found that these girls were not benefiting from the frequent weigh-ins on the bathroom scale. They were more likely to skip meals, smoke cigarettes, take diet pills, use laxative and vomit. These bad dieting habits could lead to eating disorders such as bulimia or anorexia. These girls were also at an increased risk for becoming obese. The study found that the girls that weighed themselves frequently gained twice as much weight compared to those girls that did not weigh-in often.

Getting fatter
SunJournal.com (subscription), ME -
In risk of getting on an ideological bandwagon here, obesity is another sign of the deteriorating family. I grew up in a home where Dad worked hard, Mom worked even harder keeping the house going, and everybody had chores -- physically exerting ones -- that made obesity almost laughable. How, we asked, could someone actually find the time to get fat? Today many don't have that system to keep them in shape, so they have embarrassing headlines like "Getting fatter" printed next to their name. But seriously, folks, if you don't want your children getting obese, keep them active! I understand that different people have different metabolisms, but even those who are prone to gaining weight can keep it off when parents are paying attention to their needs. My siblings and I had a bodily need for exercise, and it just so happened that the home had a need of chores. A coincidence? I don't think so. Responsible parents can fix this problem, but they're going to have to be unpopular and "make" their children actually break a sweat.
