Apparently social networks can be a valid support for those who want to lose weight: I had already talked about the amazing weight loss of an Icelandic girl, Eva, who taking selfies and posting them on fb had received from her virtual friends the encouragement necessary to dispose of the extra pounds, transforming from an obese girl to a slim and fit woman (you can read her story here ). Now, another girl,  22-year-old Jessica Semmens , would have lost the beauty of 60 kilos in two years thanks to Instagram . You will wonder what she did. Did she have her portrait taken too and asked about her friends’ reaction to her curves? No, more specificallyJessica shared all the dishes she ate in these two years , enlisting the help of her virtual friends to figure out if she was eating well or badly or just too much. All to help avoid the risk of an early death, as the doctor had predicted: if she had not lost weight immediately, she Jess she would have died at 35. So she started posting pictures of breakfast, lunch, and dinner asking her contacts to comment on the foods, to help her understand what she was healthy and what she wasn’t.
It will seem absurd to you, I know. But how, you ask, does a person not know what is healthy and what is not? Let’s say that most of us know well that, for example, fruit and vegetables are healthy foods and sausages are not there, in theory, but when we find ourselves in practice, our real food choices differ a lot from our idea of ​​healthy food. I realize how many people write to me privately by mail or on fb describing their food days: they often eat things that I would never suggest to anyone to eat to lose weight, and they wonder where they are wrong. It is a very common mistake not to be able to put into practice all the things we know very well about healthy eating in theory.Having someone who reminds us at every meal, with a sarcastic comment or thoughtful advice, that a pound of carbonara we should avoid if we want to lose weight, allows us to get back in line and a little ‘makes us go hungry, reminding us every time we eat that we need to lose weight.
