Some assume that being at a ‘healthy’ weight means they need to lose weight. This isn’t true. In fact, being underweight can pose risks just as being overweight.
Women who are at or closer to their ideal weight get pregnant more easily than those who are either excessively under or overweight.
If you need to drop some pounds, then you might want to do so through exercise combined with healthy food intake, rather than just a diet alone.
Overall, the benefits of exercising are great and you should take full advantage of it. On the other hand, if you need to gain a little bit of weight, indulge in more calories, but not the wrong kind (eat more healthy food than you are currently).
