Compare and contrast paragraphTopic: Sports and diets: What is more effective for weight loss?Losing weight has been one of the most concerning issues that attract people’s attention. Taking a regular sport and following a diet is equally beneficial to our health because the two activities burn the level of fat and sugar, which prevents us from gaining weight. However, there are striking differences between doing exercises and eating clean when it comes to weight loss. Persistence and commitment are two key factors when deciding to lose weight by doing exercises. This is mainly because practicing strenuous sports day by day enables us to gain benefits from it. On the other hand, a healthy meal with a variety of vegetables requires less effort. Those who choose to stick to daily meals that consist of nutritious values only spending time researching the most effective menu on the Internet. It is more cost-saving when making a decision to taking outdoor activities rather than following a vegetarian diet. For example, a swimming suit or badminton racket can be used multiple times while it is unlikely to keep and reuse fresh foods after several days. Not only that, foods containing nutritious ingredients seem to be high-priced, which is unaffordable for low-income citizens. Therefore, considering both advantages and drawbacks of each method is highly advisable to seek the best method to lose weight.Thank you so much for your time!

You did not follow the "compare and contrast" instructions very well. You ran out of ideas. I don't think you have ever tried to lose weight.

Here is a suggested paragraph on this topic.

Getting regular exercise and following a strict diet are popular methods when we want to lose excess weight. Both result in us burning more calories than we consume, which causes our weight to drop. However, very overweight or obese people are so out of shape that they cannot physically participate in active sports. At best, they can walk for a short distance several times a day. So, if someone needs to lose more than 20 kg, the only thing that works is a strict low-calorie diet, supervised by a doctor. Rapid weight loss is not healthy, so this regimen can easily take more than six months. On the other hand, if a physically-fit person just needs to lose a small amount of weight, e.g. 1-2 kg., to fit into their skinny jeans, then the combination of daily sports or exercise plus eliminating all junk food and high-calorie treats from the diet works well. Losing weight requires determination, dedication and patience. A low-calorie diet means frequent experiences of hunger pangs, and that can be discouraging and tiresome for more than a week or two. So anyone who wants to shed some extra, unhealthy weight, needs to set a goal, eat less, and exercise more.
