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 ?
neutral
user
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 ?
neutral
user
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 ?
neutral
user
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 ?
neutral
user
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 .
