I've been on a diet for a couple of months now." A: "Wow. You look great." B: "Thanks for noticing." A: "What type of diet were you on?" B: "I joined a health club and my trainer gave me tips on eating. With a combination of eating better and exercising, I managed to lose 15 pounds in 2 months." A: "That's amazing. What tips did your trainer give you?" B: "Mostly on how to exercise, but the best advice I got was changing my eating habits. Instead of eating 3 times a day, she told me to eat 5 times a day." A: "That doesn't make sense. If you eat more, than how do you lose weight?" B: "Actually, I'm eating the same amount. I eat 5 smaller meals a day.
