Unit 10, page 172, exercise 7, listening.

00:00:07,660 --> 00:00:12,160
Hello, Mr. Hansen. I'm Dr. Jindal. How can I help you today?

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:18,620
Well, I'm a little concerned about my weight, so I thought I'd come in for a checkup.

4
00:00:19,300 --> 00:00:28,300
Well, I'm looking at your records here. I see that you're 5 feet 7 and your weight is 230 pounds.

5
00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:36,180
Your cholesterol level is 322, so I'd say you may be right to be concerned.

6
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:41,160
Tell me about your daily routine. How many meals do you eat a day?

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,340
Where do you eat them? How much do you exercise? That sort of thing.

8
00:00:46,220 --> 00:00:50,180
Well, I just eat two meals a day, lunch and dinner.

9
00:00:50,860 --> 00:00:57,300
I don't really get any exercise since I work 12-hour days and basically don't have time.

10
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:58,280
What about you?

11
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:01,400
What about lunch? Do you take a lunch with you? Eat out?

12
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,800
I eat out at various fast food places near where I work.

13
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,840
And you don't eat breakfast?

14
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:15,840
No. It seems like there's never time. Plus, I never feel like eating anything until about 11 a.m.

15
00:01:16,420 --> 00:01:21,020
Then I have a snack at work, usually donuts or some other pastry.

16
00:01:21,180 --> 00:01:24,700
Well, I'd say you're at high risk for a heart attack.

17
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,020
Your cholesterol is what I'd call dangerously high.

18
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:34,880
Your BMI would be about 35. Anything over 25 is considered overweight.

19
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,100
So, are you going to put me on a diet?

20
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,680
No. For the most part, diets don't work.

21
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,880
I'm going to suggest a radical change in your eating habits.

22
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:50,200
That includes eating breakfast, whether you feel like eating it or not.

23
00:01:50,780 --> 00:01:55,400
You can still eat a lot of the foods you like, but in much smaller portions.

24
00:01:55,980 --> 00:01:58,280
And I want you to start an exercise.

25
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:05,580
You can begin slowly, say, three times a week, with non-strenuous exercise at first.

26
00:02:06,260 --> 00:02:10,960
Are you willing? It won't be easy, but you can do it if you work at it.

27
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,040
Well, okay. There's nothing to lose, I guess.

28
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,980
And a lot to gain.
