SEMESTER TEST WRITING: Giving Advice


Feel Depressed After You Broke Up With Your Boy-friend? - Ask Julia Kolchik

 Dear Jane,

  I am writing a reply letter to help you with some problems, you have. I don't think that your boyfriend abandoned you, because of your figure. But I propose you some tips about diets.

  First of all I want you to know that I do not think you're fat, and this is just advice. Ok? So, firstly you must know that some overweight people are overweight because of their metabolism; others are simply overweight because they eat too much. For this reason, some diets focus on the psychological aspect of weight loss, with the aim of reducing the desire to overeat. Moreover, I advise you to go on a special diet if you want. Firstly, drinking water is very effective. It will help you not only lose weight but also improve your health. Try to drink 2 liters every day. After a month of doing this, you will notice that water has become an indispensable thing.

Also the most important part is to cut back on sugars and starches (carbs). These are the foods that stimulate secretion of insulin the most. If you didn't know already, insulin is the main fat storage hormone in the body. Each one of your meals should include a protein source, a fat source and low-carb vegetables. Constructing your meals in this way will automatically bring your carb intake into the recommended range of 20-50 grams per day. In addition each one of your meals should include a protein source, a fat source and low-carb vegetables. Constructing your meals in this way will automatically bring your carb intake into the recommended range of 20-50 grams per day.

  You don't need to exercise to lose weight with this plan, but I recommend to. The best option is to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. Do a warm up, lift weights, then stretch. If you're new to the gym, ask a trainer for some advice. As for me, I had a similar problem one year ago with my weight. And I determined for myself the good rules for losing weight. I have listed them to you.

  All in all I want to say, that if your boyfriend really broke up with you because of the overweight, he is the dumbest person in the world. Shape matters, but not enough to block the real feeling. In my opinion, it's for the best that you broke up before there were more serious disappointments. Choose a softer and hearted appraiser who takes you for who you are. And you will see: with the same build, your perception of yourself will radically change.

  Think about my words. I'll be waiting for your answer. Don't be sad because of such a stupid man :)

  Love u,
Juli
