How can I lose weight, doctor? I seem to get fatter even when I just no eat food?

I never eat breakfast though.

That's a big mistake, you should always have a good breakfast. You will not run your car without fuel, and as well you won't expect your body to work without food.

I never thought about it that way.

I bet you eat a large evening meal, then sit and watch TV or read a book. Then instead of burning off your energy, your body stores it as fat.

Oh doctor, I feel so foolish.

Well control is really using common sense when you plan your eating habits.

I know doctor, thank you so much.

That's ok. It's important for all people to take care with their diet. A good diet can improve the lank of your life. And what just is important a good diet can improve the quality of your life. We all know the benefit of a balance diet with a lot of fruit and vegetables, a little meat, some grains and some milk. Three small balance meals every day are better for us than one huge meal. Certainly we can not all be fashion models, that will be silly. But if we watch our diet, and become exceptive of our body shape, we can all live longer and happier.
