[speaker001:] Hi Barbara. Have you lost weight?
[speaker002:] Hi Julie. Yeah. I've been on a diet for a couple of months now.
[speaker001:] Wow. You look great.
[speaker002:] Thanks for noticing.
[speaker001:] What type of diet were you on?
[speaker002:] I joined a health club and my trainer gave me tips on eating. With a combination of eating better and exercising, I managed to lose 15 pounds in 2 months.
[speaker001:] That's amazing. What tips did your trainer give you?
[speaker002:] Mostly on how to exercise, but the best advice I got was changing my eating habits. Instead of eating 3 times a day, she told me to eat 5 times a day.
[speaker001:] That doesn't make sense. If you eat more, than how do you lose weight?
[speaker002:] Actually, I'm eating the same amount. I eat 5 smaller meals a day. Basically, it naturally speeds up the metabolism and helps to burn fat at a faster rate.
[speaker001:] That makes sense. I'm going to try that.
[speaker002:] You don't need to lose weight.
[speaker001:] I have a little gut I have been trying to get rid of.
[speaker002:] Ah... but remember to incorporate a little exercise into your diet.
[speaker001:] Thanks for the advice.
[speaker002:] No problem.
