Her work is writing informative blogs to educate people on how they should change their diet to lose pounds and be out and about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nadya decided to choose a topic \u201cweight-related concerns and behaviours in adolescents\u201d. Nadya chose this topic as she was curious to explore this issue, and further, she found her younger sister falling prey to overweight who had been struggling for years to slough off extra pounds. In fact, her parents were also concerned about her appearance as no significant improvements in weight allowed of only one interpretation &#8211; fat is refractory.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assuming that the topic was researchable, Nadya took the plunge and dived into reading literature. Having read many articles, she found that many studies had been done to explore the impact of a healthy diet and weight loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When Nadya went deeper into the literature, she discovered that overweight or obese people have low self-esteem. Many adolescents do not adapt to schools and colleges due to scorn heaped by prejudices of society. They are severely stigmatised and are frequently stereotyped as ugly, dullard, mean, obnoxious and torpid. They also face problems to manage their love life. Studies also demonstrated adverse social and economic correlates among adults in industrialised countries. Obese adults are more likely to live in destitution and less likely to date or marry than their non\u2010overweight counterparts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nadya carefully read all literature published in prominent journals that could fall within the range of her chosen field. She reviewed all articles published in the last five years to find a research gap pertaining to the area of her interest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nadya found several publications on binge-eating and at the end, she was finally convinced that preventative measures of eating disorder could play a crucial role to keep obesity at bay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>So what have you concluded from this case?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read literature and discern the researchable ideas.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pay attention to the end section of articles to find limitations of studies and recommendations for future research.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might find that many studies have been conducted.
