I'm a little bit overweight, I want to know if it's worth going on a diet?

It depends on your goals and how much weight you need to lose. If your goal is to improve overall health and well-being by reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and diabetes, then losing 5-10% of your body weight may be beneficial. However, if your goal is to look better in clothes or fit into certain social situations, then losing more than 10% might not be necessary. Talk to your doctor to determine which approach would be most appropriate for you.
