What do you think about all the different diets people go on ?   I don't think dieting is good for you . It's much better to eat a balanced diet and to never get overweight to begin with !   But what do you think about people who are obese ? What should they do to lose weight ?   They need to eat healthy foods , but they also have to increase the amount of exercise they do every day . They don't have to cut out fattening foods altogether , though .   So you think it's ok for people who are dieting to eat chocolate ?   Sure , they can eat some chocolate . As long as they are exercising and eating mostly healthy foods , there's nothing wrong with having a small dessert .   How about drinking soda ?
