Simply put, 「what will be good or bad for you」 is a Noun Phrase that is Object of the Gerund 「deciding」.
This is a bit complicated. So please stay with me.
The part of the sentence 「In other words, take control of your life」 is a complete sentence all by itself.
Now the writer wants to give more information on how to 「control your life」.
So he does so by inserting a Prepositional Adverb Phrase 「by deciding what will be good or bad for you」.
In this phrase:
1. The word 「by」 is a Preposition leading the Prepositional Phrase.
2. The word 「deciding」 is a Gerund, and the entire Gerund Phrase 「deciding what will be good or bad for you」 is Object of the Preposition 「by」.
(For my notes on Gerund, see
adamlam99：英文文法筆記第三。四課: 名詞: 動名詞
3. Since the Gerund 「deciding」 is a Verbal that originates as a Transitive Verb, therefore it retains some of its characteristics as a Verb that allows it to take an Object. The Object of 「deciding」 here is the Noun Phrase 「what will be good or bad for you」.
4. Notice 「what」 here is a Pronoun, representing 「something which」.

I hope it helps to resolve your question.

及物動詞接what引導的從句做賓語，賓語從句。是什麼影響你對此句的判斷？且what引導的我知道的只有名詞性從句，不能引導定語從句和狀語從句。
這個句子中的從句屬於定語從句嗎
小翻譯倌 題主抄序列了吧？我的紙質版裡第一句和你的不一樣。Do you remember 作主句時，後面只能跟引導連詞 that 引導的賓語從句，而 that 常省略。而以下兩句中的 that 是關係代詞，先行詞是 what，為了避免頭重腳輕，將其引導的定語從句後移 was special?What...
只有定語，賓語，主語，表語，同位語從句句子結構完整才能用引導副詞 why,Where 嗎？
Dury 賓語從句也是名詞性從句，所以我們看看什麼句子成分有賓語。謂語後面，介詞後面。介賓短語，to 地點。比較少見，I know where the bus is.少數情況下做表語。類似的還有 he live in what we call 故宮。他居住在我們所謂的故宮。其實就是兩句話，he li...
這句話為什麼是定語從句？
二蛋 這句話你confusing的原因是你不理解any of us could be後面跟的是什麼，那麼就要先知道 I m home是乙個常用說法，不一定要說I m at home。去掉at句子也沒區別 所以直譯過來就是家是最安全的地方，在我們每個人可以待的地方中。Any of us could b...
