Paul: Jane, you know a lot about food. My wife thinks I should lose some weight. Can you give me some advice?
Jane: Well, I can try. What do you eat during a normal day?
Paul: Let me see... . I don't eat very much for breakfast, just cereal, a couple of fried eggs, one sausage and some toast.
Jane: How many slices of toast do you eat?
Paul: Oh not too many, just two or three.
Jane: And then you eat nothing till lunch?
Paul: Oh no, I always have danish pastry with my morning coffee at work. I love danish pastry.
Jane: Ok, so you have one danish pastry.
Paul: Well one or two, but they are not fattening, are they?
Jane: They actually are. You should definitely cut them out of your diet.
Paul: No I can't. I tried that before. Without a danish pastry my coffee break would not be the same.
Jane: Ok. What about your lunch?
Paul: Well you know our staff lunches are a tradition. We always go to the pub and have a large steak - or fish and chips.
Jane: And let me guess... you have a big dinner?
Paul: Just a three course meal. But I can't see how I could do without that.
Jane: Well, I am not sure what to suggest to you then.
Paul: I knew it. I told Christine that my diet was very reasonable. I'm glad you agree with me.
