Abstract

This paper is a brief presentation of the research project called "The diet for weight loss. A study carried out on young high school students". The first part is an argument for choosing the theme, namely the weight loss diet for young people, in the context of the increase in the number of people who manifest nutritional disorders and obesity. This continues with a conceptualization of the terms diet, mass media, family and peer group, internal and external, then with the questions that need answering, following the conduct of the research and the presentation of the relevant literature for the research topic. At the end of the paper, the research methodology and the conclusions that are expected following the application of the sociological study are proposed.
