It depends on the diet itself. If you're already healthy, then you don't need to diet, you just need to keep a well-balanced set up for meals and make sure you get a regular amount of exercise in so you maintain a healthy weight and all.

 Yes!!yes!! And a good healthy diet plus exercise

 Sometimes. But when people have a bad diet and get to skinny or fat that is very bad!

 Good diet is good for you. Bad diet is not.

 Yes if you need to loss wt. Then i think your diet plays a big part in it along with exercise.

 Dieting is good for our health especially to those who want to be fit but healthy. Only just if your dieting is on the right time to do and it prescribe by doctors

 It depends on whether it is a healthy diet, advising you to keep off junk food, drink lots of water, eat everything in the right proportion,etc., of whether it's one of the diets telling you to basically stop eating.

 I think "diets" are good in that they teach you the proper proportions of food to eat.

Let's face it, we are definitely a food-loving society in need of a little discipline.

Good luck to all!!!

 This is inadequately defined. I know that "dieting" to the extent of maintaining a general plan for nutrition and health is a good thing. Going off and on diets to lose weight is, in my opinion ill-advised and verges on bad or stupid. Off-and-on gives rebound weight-gain and that will be fat rather than muscle. Once one has enough fat to float in fresh water, ideally, one should be on a food course that will only need re-setting as activity levels change.
My first diet was "Acne Can Be Cured by Gustave H Hoehn" and I had not intended to lose weight and I deliberately went off and on until I was *up* to healthy weight with a clear complexion. I bless the discoverer of "rebound" for desired weight gain.

 Sure it is, along with exercise. As long as you don't get so obsessed that you deprive yourself completely.

 Yes, you have to eat healthy to be healthy.

 Having a healthy diet i am for it. Not the other way like reducing your quantity of food I am against it

 It can go both ways. If you exercise daily and eat healthy that's considered good dieting(ish). But if you exercise excessively and starve yourself, that's not good dieting, that's considered a health problem.:3

 Yes i lose 145

 Dieting can help be apart of good health

 Yeah. Most of the time. But it's wrong if it turns into a disease like anorexia or bulimia and you get obsessed
