The Diet Zone: A Dangerous Place

    Diet Coke ,diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet…We are surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.

    Diet products significantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straight for the scale instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

    On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink,we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we don't have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

    The danger of diet products lees not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products my not be nutritional,and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

    Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.

    罗企生,字宗伯,豫章人也。多才艺。初拜佐著作郎。殷仲堪之镇江陵,引为功曹。累迁武陵太守。未之郡而桓玄攻仲堪,仲堪更以企生为谘议参军。仲堪多疑少决,企生深忧之,谓弟遵生曰:“殷侯仁而无断,事必无成。成败,天也,吾当死生以之。”仲堪果走,文武无送者,唯企生从焉。路经家门,遵生曰:“作如此分离,何可不执手!”企生回马授手,遵生有勇力,便牵下之,谓曰:“家有老母,将欲何之?”企生挥泪曰:“今日之事,我必死之。汝等奉养不失子道,一门之中有忠与孝,亦复何恨!”遵生抱之愈急。仲堪于路待之,企生遥呼曰:“生死是同,愿少见待。”仲堪见企生无脱理,策马而去。

    玄至荆州,人士无不诣者,企生独不往,而营理仲堪家。或谓之曰:“玄猜忍之性,未能取卿诚节,若遂不诣,祸必至矣。”企生正色曰:“我是殷侯吏,见遇以国士,为弟以力见制,遂不我从,不能共殄丑逆。致此奔败,亦何面目复就桓求生乎!”玄闻之大怒,然素待企生厚,先遣人谓曰:“若谢我,当释汝。”企生曰:“为殷荆州吏,荆州奔亡,存亡未判,何颜复谢!”玄即收企生,遣人问欲何言,答曰:“文帝杀嵇康,嵇绍为晋忠臣;从公乞一弟,以养老母。”玄许之。又引企生于前,谓曰:“吾相遇甚厚,何以见负?今者死矣!”企生对曰:“使君既兴晋阳之甲,军次寻阳,并奉王命,各还所镇,升坛盟誓,口血未干,而生奸计。自伤力劣,不能翦灭凶逆,恨死晚也。”玄遂害之,时年三十七,众咸悼焉。先是,玄以羔裘遗企生母胡氏,及企生遇害,即日焚裘。
