第3章 Eating Habits饮食习惯(2)

对话1:

莎拉:今天你吃早饭了吗?

凯特:没有,我在节食。我想甩掉几磅肉。

莎拉:我不觉得节食是减肥的好方法。

凯特:我不吃少点,那还怎么减肥呢?

莎拉:嗯,不吃正餐,你的新陈代谢就会变慢,你的身体就会比平常囤积更多的脂肪和热量。如果不吃早餐,你午餐就会吃得更多。

凯特:我想知道你是如何保持这么好的身材的。你不去健身房,而且想吃就吃。你有什么秘方吗?

莎拉:嗯,平衡饮食是关键。我总是确保摄入足够的蛋白质和蔬菜,每餐少吃含脂肪和糖的食物。

凯特:这些原则听起来很简单。我应该试试。谢谢你的建议。

Being On a Diet

节食

我们想拥有完美身材,使尽浑身解数减肥,有的采取节食法,通过减少进食来达到减肥目的。可你听说过5比2节食法吗?

The 5:2 diet,also written as 5/2 diet,is a fad diet which involves severe calorie restriction for two non-consecutive days a week and normal eating the other five days,which originated and became popular in the UK,and spread in Europe and to the US. It is a form of intermittent fasting.The diet is claimed to promote weight loss and to have several beneficial effects on health.According to the UK National Health Service there is limited evidence on the safety and effectiveness of the diet;they advise people considering it to consult their doctor.

5比2节食法是一种时兴的节食方法,指一周7天,2天严格控制摄入卡路里,其余5天正常进食,控制热量的2天不是连续的。这种节食方法源自英国并在那里广受欢迎,之后传到了欧洲和美国。这是间断性节食的一种方式,据说能够帮助减肥,还对健康很有益处。不过,英国国民健康服务机构表示,这种节食方法在安全和有效性方面的证据很有限,建议人们尝试之前先咨询医生。

Men may eat 600 calories on fasting days,and women 500. A typical fasting day may include a breakfast of 300 calories,such as two scrambled eggs with ham,water,green tea,or black coffee,and a lunch or dinner of grilled fish or meat with vegetables,amounting to 300 calories.The daily 500 or 600 calorie limit requires small portions.

在节食日,男性可以摄入600卡的热量,女性可摄入500卡。节食日一天的餐食大概包括:早餐300卡,比如2个炒鸡蛋加火腿、水、绿茶或者黑咖啡,午餐或晚餐300卡,可以吃烤鱼或烤肉,再加点蔬菜。一天500或600卡的热量意味着每一餐份量都很小。
