what is the best way to loose weight

Nutrition & exercise

Thanks for your question 💕 Firstly, it's important to remember that "gaining weight" is sometimes portrayed as a negative thing on social media – actually, when you're a teenager, gaining weight throughout puberty is normal and an important part of growing up ✨ For this reason, luna does NOT recommend losing weight unless you are overweight.

If you are overweight, having a well-balanced diet can help you lose weight – doing this in combination with healthy amounts of exercise is usually a good idea. A lot of methods that promise 'fast weight loss' through crash dieting and restricting foods aren't healthy or sustainable for your physical and mental health.
