An enormous interest in the topic of body image perception, distortion, and satisfaction has developed during the past 10-15 years. Dissatisfaction with one's body image is often seen as a correlate of eating disorders. In this study the focus group was the adolescents, because many eating disorders appear to start soon after puberty and persist through later years. Present study was conducted among 90 adolescent college going girls of Bhubaneswar city. General dissatisfaction regarding body weight was observed among the girls and around 83 per cent of the respondents were reported to adopt various dieting practises to reduce body weight.Keywords

Recent trends in final food demand show that the concept of food has undergone a radical transformation in recent years. The diversification of food away from traditional products and in convergence with western style is responsible for changes in the whole food system. This paper aims to provide comprehensive approach to the consumer purchasing behaviour towards processed ready to eat and ready to cook food products. It thus focused on knowing the perception of the consumers towards Ready-to-Eat and ready to cook food and the impact of factors on their purchase intention. There existed an ambiguity of what Ready-to-Food is, as different sources provided with different meanings. In order to derive a niche expertise of derived findings, the research was restricted to only branded ready to eat and ready to cook food products and to Consumers who were aware about these food products. A sample of 110 respondents has been taken under convenient sampling technique in Bhubaneswar city, Odisha. The study reveals that majority of the respondents have planned decision in purchasing instant food products. Television plays a major role in providing information about instant food products.Keywords

Knowledge about food is considered to be beneficial not only for food choice and healthy weight reduction but also as concerns its long-term implications for general health. Continuation of poor eating choices and unhealthy diet can lead to many health problems including obesity, malnutrition, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes etc. Healthy eating habits promote growth and reduce many risks associated with both immediate and long-term health problems.

The data was collected through survey method with the help of a structured questionnaire from 110 respondents. About 39 per cent of the respondents were underweight.

Adolescence is a transitional period and college life is an important stage as at this time like behaviours are conducive to change. Dietary intake during adolescence contributes to lifelong eating habits and the development of early risk factors for disease in adulthood. Insight into breakfast consumption of adolescents is of public health concern, for several reasons as it has been associated with positive outcomes for diet quality, BMI status and lifestyle factors. Studies suggest that eating a breakfast which contains sufficiently balanced nutrients has a beneficial impact on both student health – in terms of nutrient intake height-toweight ratio and early physical development– and cognitive skills such as focused attention and memory recall. In the research study the researcher had studied aiming on the objectives like - to access association of body image in skipping breakfast, lifestyle of post graduate students, impact of skipping breakfast on memory and concentration, taking 46 (Female) post graduate students as sample size of Sambalpur University. According to the results of the current study it was found that 60.87 per cent agreed whereas 39.13 per cent denied, that students breakfast skipping shows an impact on memory and 82.6 per cent agreed whereas 17.4 per cent denied that they felt difficulty in doing their work and concentrate if they do not consume breakfast. As per BMI 54.35 per cent were under weight, 36.96 per cent were normal weight and 8.69 per cent were obese, respectively. A significant variation in life style and body image was observed.Keywords
