Fad1 Dieting 

Joel: You don’t look so hot. Are you okay? 

Beatrice: I’m perfectly2 fine. 

Joel: Oh, and you’re grouchy3, too. Don’t tell me. You’re dieting again. 

Beatrice: Just leave me alone. I’m not popping pills or anything like that. I’m just trying to shed a few pounds the natural way. 

Joel: The natural way? You mean like that diet you were on a few months ago where you only ate Monday, Wednesday, and Friday? Or that other diet you were on before where you drank 50 cups of water a day? 

Beatrice: Those were fad diets that didn’t work. I’m onto a new diet that’s guaranteed to take way those unwanted pounds and to reveal my slimmer self. 

Joel: You sound like a commercial, or an infomercial. Is that where you found this diet, on some late-night infomercial? 

Beatrice: It doesn’t matter where I heard about this diet. It only matters that its scientifically proven to help people lose weight. 

Joel: All right. I need to shed a few pounds. What’s the secret diet? 

Beatrice: I’m not telling you. You’ll only make fun of it. 

Joel: No, I won’t. Tell me. 

Beatrice: All right. I only eat orange-colored foods. 

Joel: What?! 

Beatrice: I said, I only eat orange-colored foods. I’ve eaten a lot of oranges and carrots. 

Joel: I can see why you’re so grouchy. You’ve lost your bleeping mind!
