What do you think about all the different diets that people go on?
I don't think dieting is good for you. It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with!
But what do you think about people who are obese? What should they do to lose weight?
They need to eat healthy foods, but they also have to increase the amount of physical exercise every day. They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether, though.
So you think it's OK for people who are dieting to eat chocolate, don't you?
Sure, they can eat some chocolate. As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods, there's nothing wrong with having a small dessert.
How about drinking soda?
Many people gain weight by drinking far too much soda. Soda should be treated seriously ; there's simply no nutritional value in it whatsoever.
And have you ever tried taking vitamins?
I used to take vitamins every day, but I don't take them anymore. Vitamins are good as a supplement, but they don't do much good if you don't have a well-balanced diet to start.
How do you know so much about food and dieting?
You might not believe this, but I used to be twice the size that I am now!
