Nutricionist: Good morning, Miss Rose. What can I do for you?

Rose: Hi, good morning. A friend from Seattle recommended me to come with you. He said: “If you visit her, you won’t regret it”.

Nutricionist: Thank you very much. Tell me, what’s the problem?

Rose: In recent months, I’ve tried to lose weight. I tried diets and I have even stopped eating, but I can’t lose any single pound.

Nutricionist: Wow! If you don’t eat, you get sick. That’s something we all know.

Rose: I know, that’s why I’m here. If you help me, I will lose weight in a healthy way.

Nutricionist: That’s right. I won’t give you a diet. I’m going to teach you how to eat properly. If you follow my recommendations, you will be able to eat all kinds of food.

Rose: Really? That’s amazing!

Nutricionist: First, you must stop drinking soda and sugary beverages. If you don’t stop drinking them, you will have health problems and you won’t lose weight.

Rose: I understand. What about the food?

Nutricionist: Easy, you must reduce your portions. If you currently eat two cookies, now you will eat only one. The same applies to other foods, such as pizza, chips, etc.

Rose: So, I won’t stop eating any kind of food, right?

Nutricionist: Exactly! But you should include more fruits and vegetables in your meals, such as apples, cucumbers, melons, pineapples, spinach, broccoli, among others.

Rose: I get it. What about exercise? Must I exercise?

Nutricionist: Of course, you will exercise. If you work out, your body stays energetic. That will make you feel motivated and happy in your progress.

Rose: What kind of exercise should I do?

Nutricionist: Start with something simple and easy. If you have a bicycle, you should ride it for 40 minutes. Also, if you have a rope, you can jump 15 minutes a day.

Rose: I think I prefer the bike. Now, I know how to lose weight and be healthy.

Nutricionist: Perfect. I’ll see you in a month. Good luck!

Rose: Thank you so much. See you later!
