Weekly Post Nine

I really enjoyed Kim’s story idea about the keto diet. In today’s society dieting is constantly evolving and new diets are constantly on the rise. I was especially drawn to her’s because I am very interested in nutrition and the keto diet is a big part of that, seeing as how much the diet has grown. I have heard many horror stories about the keto diet and talks about it being unhealthy and unsafe. Though I have also heard many success stories and how it has helped many people lose weight or just be more healthy in general.

An idea I have for Kim is to maybe consider talking about body positivity. Especially with the influence of social media many people feel pressured to look a certain way. In my personal opinion, dieting can be a good thing in some cases but dangerous in others. I think with a topic like this it is important to highlight the fact that dieting and keto specifically are not for everyone and also discuss the fact that not everyone has to look a certain way in order to be the societal “normal”.
