V. Let’s Talk
Doctor: Well, your test results are back, Jim. Your blood tests are fine. Everything seems OK.
Jim:   Huh. I still don’t have any energy, and I get headaches all the time.
Doctor: Mm. I see your weight is 180 pounds. You’ve gained five pounds since your last visit. That’s a little too much for your weight.
Jim:   That’s funny. I’ve been eating the same as always.
Doctor: I think maybe we should talk about it.
Jim:   Oh, well, I mean…now I eat the things students usually eat at school.
Doctor: The usual things?
Jim:   Yeah, you know. In the morning, I grab¹ a few doughnuts and a coffee on the way to school.
Doctor: Uh-huh. And for lunch?
Jim:   Uh, a couple of hot dogs, fries, and a Coke…maybe an ice cream on the way back.
Doctor: And dinner?
Jim:   Pizza, and a Coke.
Doctor: What about exercise?
Jim:   Exercise? I’m just not into exercise. I just like to watch sports on TV. Anyway I wouldn’t have time for exercise…too much homework, you know.
Doctor: You should change your eating habits before you have a serious weight problem. I’ll give you this pamphlet² with diet suggestions to follow, and I also want you to do some walking and some one-hour workouts at the gym. Maybe three times a week.
Jim:   Diet? Exercise? But can’t I just take some pills to give me more energy and get rid of my headaches?
