Cut down on
Speak as Megan
Speak as Amy
Amy: No thank you.
Megan: Really? You love cookies. I've never seen you turn down a cookie. Are you feeling okay?
Amy: I'm fine. I'm trying to cut down on sweets.
Megan: Are you on a diet?
Amy: I'm not on any particular diet. I'm just trying to eat healthier.
Megan: Good for you. I think that people don't need to follow a strict diet to lose weight. If they just live a healthier lifestyle, then they will naturally lose weight, and they will be a lot happier.
Amy: You're right. Also, my main goal is not to lose weight. I just want to be healthier. But if I do lose some weight, then that will be a nice bonus.
Megan: I think I'm going to follow your lead and start eating healthier – starting tomorrow.
