Dieting

Dieting at this day and age is more popular than ever. Some people claim that it drastically changed their lives. Others, however, are skeptical and call attention to various health risks of some popular diets.

We must acknowledge that sometimes following a diet is not a matter of choice but a necessity. People with a life-threatening disease have to cut down on consumption of some foods and avoid others altogether. Same goes for competing athletes. In the world of professional sports every little detail matters, so they need to pay extra attention to what they put on their plate.

However, the majority of individuals on a diet just want to lose some extra pounds. Even in this case there are some upsides to dieting. It gives you a clear-cut plan to follow, which makes it easier to stick to it. As a result, you are more likely to achieve your goals. Additionally, most diets recommend eating less fast-food and sugar, which has massive health benefits in and of itself.

Nevertheless, there are some serious downsides to dieting that are hard to ignore. First of all, despite of what many self-proclaimed specialists want you to believe, there is no magic diet that will help you get in shape in two weeks or keep you young forever. Unfortunately, the truth doesn’t sell well. There many unscrupulous individuals ready to use any trick in the book to get you to buy their product.

Second, and most important, a lot of diets are actually dangerous for health. Some even demand quite radical changes in the way you eat, e.g. you have to completely stop eating meat or fruit, while there are strong scientific evidence that such products are the primary source of indispensable macro- and micronutrients.

To sum up, even if in some cases following a diet can be a good choice, we need to take any dietary advice with a grain of salt. For the most part, however, just eating a variety of different foods and keeping everything at balance is enough to stay healthy.

Sounds more natural.

Second, and most important, a lot of diets are actually dangerous for your health. Second, and most important, a lot of diets are actually dangerous for your health.

It sounds awkward to say "dangerous for health." Usually when we talk about one's health we say "your health" and not just "health."

This sentence is a bit too long and the e.g. sounds a bit clunky. Reworded it here. Also, the word evidence is singular so "is" should be used instead of "are."

"To sum it all up" is more often used than "to sum up" (at least in American English). "Even if in some cases following a diet can be a good choice" sounds a bit awkward. Reworded it to sound more fluid.

No correction here, but using "grain of salt" in an article about dieting is a lovely little bit of word play. Kudos!

Combining these two sentences with a semicolon makes sense because "Same goes for athletes" relies on the previous sentence for context. It is better to combine them so you don't have a sentence standing alone without context.
