Now count your points!
Most A answers
You have a very unhealthy lifestyle. You eat badly, don’t practice sports and can’t relax. You are a couch potato who in a few years will become fat. Try to change it before it is too late!
Most B answers
You don’t have a very healthy lifestyle and you make mistakes, but you can improve! Introduce some changes into your diet and daily routine and you will feel much better. You seem not to think too much of what you eat or about your habits.
Most C answers
You have a healthy lifestyle and you don’t have to change your habits. You are very natural in what you do and you simply treat your body well, but you are not a slave of diets. Big applause for moderation.
Most D answers
You are very healthy. Don’t you exaggerate sometimes? Life is not only diets and gym. Your drive to perfection is not so good for you – relax more! Try to reduce your tension. Life will not end if you eat a chocolate bar.
