Sot bk & Therese
Bk: Now Cheryl has a lot of work ahead of her as far as losing that weight. How did you guys decide you could help her as far as her diet goes?
Therese: We put her on a 1500 calorie a day diet. 
Bk: And this is a sample of what Cheryl can eat each day. 
Therese: Yeah. 
Bk: Okay, what does it consist of? Five meat exchanges, which could be fish or cheese or chicken.
Therese: And eight starches a day. 
Bk:  Eight, that sounds like a lot. Like potatoes, popcorn, bread. 
Therese: And she has two fruits a day, three vegetables a day, one dairy a day, and five fat exchanges a day. 
Bk: That sounds like a lot of fat! 

Sot Therese: Well according to the American Dietetic Association the healthiest way to eat is fifty percent carbohydrates, twenty percent protein, thirty percent fat. And the fat should be broken down to 10 monounsaturated, 10 saturated, and 10 polyunsaturated.

Bk:  So you don’t have to starve yourself to death. Obviously this a lot of food. There are plenty of fat exchanges. It’s just you need to include the right nutrients. And not going hungry too, isn’t that key? You starve yourself and you’re going to grab that chocolate cake. 
Therese: Try not to skip meals. Try to stay properly hydrated.
