This is a post written by a preteen who I’ll call Kathleen.

There are many pre-teens who would like to lose weight by dieting, but they only want to do that to become thinner and weigh less. But, what they should be doing is trying to eat healthy to become more healthy instead of trying to lose weight.

It is more important to be healthy than to lose weight because losing too much weight can be unhealthy and it can lead to death. If you are heallthy and eating the amount of right food to stay healthy, your body will be in better condition.

So, instead of not eating as much or going on an unhealthy diet, you should do some exercises or cut down a little.

Some exercises you could do would be to ride your bike, go swimming, go running, or other active things. You should at least get one hour of exercise each day.
Another way to become more healthy would be to cut down a little. Instead of eating until you’re full, eat until you’re not hungry. Also, don’t have as much junk food each day. Have it every once in a while, but not constantly.

So, these are reasons why and how to eat healthy.
