Her diet has been extremely restricted
Hi
Is this dialogue natural? Any suggestions are welcome.
A - After the illness, her diet has been extremely restricted.
B - By herself or by her physician?
A- Well, partly by herself and partly by her physician. You know she was always a fussy eater, don't you?
B- Yes, I do remember that bit about her. By the way, is she better now?
A- She is except for the weight loss.
Thanks,
Tom
