A VISIT TO A DIETITIAN
Dr. Jones: Good morning, Mrs. Fat. Sit down, please.
Mrs. Fat: Good morning, Dr. Jones. Do you mind if I sit on the sofa?
Dr. Jones: No, not at all. You can take any seat you like. So you would like to
lose weight, wouldn’t you?
Mrs. Fat: Exactly. I’ve been overweight all my life and now I think it’s time I
started dieting.
Dr. Jones: Oh, yes. I see. You know… before I can recommend you a particular
diet I must learn all about your eating habits. How many meals a day
do you normally have?
Mrs. Fat: I usually have only three meals a day. I mean breakfast, lunch and
dinner, but unfortunately I very often eat between meals.
Dr. Jones: What do you have for breakfast?
Mrs. Fat: A traditional English breakfast. I have a glass of orange juice, a bowl
of cereal and bacon and eggs. And then I drink tea.
Dr. Jones: Do you like milk in your tea?
Mrs. Fat: Well, that depends. On some days I just have a couple of sandwiches
for lunch, but sometimes I also have a bowl of soup and cakes or pies
to follow.
Dr. Jones: What do you have for dinner and when do you have it?
Mrs. Fat: I normally have dinner at 8 p.m. I know it’s a bit too late, it just hap-
pens so. What do I have? You know, I like to have a very substantial
dinner – a starter, like a salad or assorted meat, followed by a main
course such as beefsteak or fish and chips and then dessert and tea or
coffee.
Dr. Jones: What do you have for dessert as a rule?
Mrs. Fat: Ice-cream or cakes, or both.
Dr. Jones: And what do you eat between meals?
Mrs. Fat: Peanuts, chocolate, popcorn, crisps and stuff. Sometimes I just like to
nibble candies.
Dr. Jones: In fact, many people do the same and yet they have no problem with
excess weight. Let me see… Do you fry one or two eggs with your
bacon in the morning?
Mrs. Fat: I actually take eight eggs, but I share my breakfast with my toy-poodle
dog.
Dr. Jones: I see. Here is my prescription: Don’t change your diet. Change your
dog. Replace it with Labrador. Or keep both dogs and share all your
meals with them. And here is the telephone number of a vet, who is a
very good dog dietitian, just in case your dogs might need a correc-
tion of their diet.
