Listen to five people talking about their diets. match the sentences to the speakers. Write A,B,C,... in the gap.

I tried crash diets, such as one where you just cat cabbage soup, and another where you drink nothing but lemonade with some salt and pepper for about seven days without any food. They worked temporarily, but after a while I put the weight back on. Then I was introduced to these diet pills and my weight went down to 65 kilos. But I wasn't earning a great deal of money and I simply couldn't afford to keep it up. That's when I decided to save my money and join a gym.

I used to eat a lot of junk food. It was quick, inexpensive and it satisfied my hunger immediately. The problem was, I ate very little fresh food, and this had a serious effect on attitude to food. If not, he said, the consequences could be very serious. Well, you can't ignore advice like that, can you? So, I started lo eat more healthily. And now if I get hungry between meals. I have a little cheese or some nuts, just to fill the hole

I'm under no real pressure to lose weight, but I take care over what I eat, simply because it makes me feel better. When I want to treat myself, I have a piece of cake or a few biscuits. I read a lot about dieting, and most nutritionists seem to agree that as long as you cat sweet things after a meal, then there's no problem. So, for example, l only ever cat chocolates after lunch or dinner. And never too many of course - just one or two.

like eating and I'm not at all interested in dieting. But I do go to see a nutritionist, who helps me maintain a sensible, balanced diet: plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat and fish, carbohydrates such as rice and pasta, several glasses of water a day - and no snacks between meals. She told me to give up cheese, but I ignored her. I enjoy good food and I don't want to deprive myself of the things I love.

A large number of people follow diets, but very few of them are happier as a result. We are constantly under attack from advertising and the media, who tell us that 'thin is beautiful'. I used to believe this and think that I wouldn't find a boyfriend unless l was really skinny, that I had to weigh under 60 kilos for boys to like me. But of course, now I realize that there's more to it than that. Just being yourself is what counts and I don't pay much attention to what others think or say.

A I follow the advice given in books.

B One form of dieting was too expensive.

C I used to feel under pressure to lose weight

D I have never been on a diet.

E I had to change my eating habits.

F I don't follow all the advice I am given.
