Diet
Now this is a word we have already mentioned but let’s go into a little more detail.
A diet is the food we eat and the drink we drink. It can be balanced or it can be a bad diet without balance.
Diet can also be used to show that someone is making a change to what they are consuming. To show this they say they are “going on a diet”. There are so many diets out there with different promises and selling points, but the normal objective of a diet is to lose weight and feel better.
Some people react badly to severe changes in their diet, so be careful if you are considering going on a diet or changing your diet in any way. You should talk to your doctor if you need more advice!
Ben: Felicity, you look really tired!
Felicity: Yeah, I am, it’s this new diet I’m on. I have no energy!
Ben: Well, what are you eating now?
Felicity: I’ve stopped eating carbs.
Ben: Felicity! You can’t just stop eating carbs, that’s how you get energy.
