Doug:
Hello, I’m Doug Campbell and this is 6 minute English. Today we’re talking
about going on a diet. And I’m here with Jackie Dalton.
Jackie:
Hi Doug, have you ever gone on a diet to try to lose weight?
Doug:
No I haven’t Jackie, but I am sure if I did go on a diet, I wouldn’t be successful.
It’s very, very difficult! To start the programme I have a question for you
though, Jackie, about going on a diet. Well there are lots of different diets –
loads of different diets, but I want to talk about one of them – the low-carb diet.
Doug:_Okay_Jackie,_if_you_were_on_a_low-carb_diet,_you_would_eat…__a)_less_pasta'>Jackie:
Yes, I’ve heard of that.
Doug:
Okay Jackie, if you were on a low-carb diet, you would eat…
a) less pasta
b) less fish
c) less salad
Jackie:
Okay, yes, I think I do know this one because low-carb is short for low-
carbohydrate which is a food group that releases lots of energy and I know that
fish is protein, salad is roughage, which is leafy stuff, and pasta is a
carbohydrate so if you are eating low-carb you would cut out or cut down on
pasta.
Doug:
Okay, you are sure about that.
Jackie:
I’m sure about that. Today, we’re going to hear from two people who have
gone a diet. Were they successful? Did they lose weight?

Man
I went on the 28 day detox diet which really helped you lose weight and detox the body at the
same time and it really worked. You just ate hardly anything at all.
