Whether in person or online, praising someone for their weight loss or curves can seem like an innocent – and even complimentary – comment. But experts say we can all learn something from Jonah Hill's recent post about body comments: stop making them.

In a post to Instagram Thursday, Hill asked his three million followers to refrain from making comments about his body, whether they be positive or negative.

"I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you do not comment on my body (heart emoji) good or bad I want to politely let you know it's not helpful and doesn't feel good. Much respect," he wrote.
