是什么毁了你的减肥大业

2012-07-22来源:新浪外语
Your Friends Don't Support You
朋友们都不看好你

Have you ever had a friend who knows you're trying to loseweight and eat healthy, but still tempts you with "it won't killyou to have a few bites of (insert tempting high sugar, fat andcalorie food here)." Support is crucial when it comes to successfulweight loss and maintenance, and having a toxic person close to youcan really throw you off. What you really need is a supportivebuddy who you can lean on in good times and bad; someone who willkeep you on track and compliment you when you lose weight. A 2005study in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology foundthat individuals were most successful with weight loss when they"buddied" up with like-minded people with the same healthy goals asthey had.
明知道你要减肥,要健康饮食,你的那些损友们还一个劲地诱惑你说“吃一口(高糖、高脂、高热量的食物)又不会死”,有没有?想要成功减肥并保持减肥成果,支持是很重要的。如果你身边有一个这样的损友,你的一切努力都会泡汤。你真正需要的是一个无论顺境逆境都会支持你的伙伴,会鼓励你坚持到底,会在你瘦下来的时候赞美你。《咨询与临床心理学》2005年的研究发现,那些拥有志同道合的减肥者是最成功的,因为他们有一样的健康目标。

You "Diet" During The Week - But Go Hog Wild On TheWeekends
平日节食,周末大餐

Many people have the same complaint: "How come I'm not losingweight? I barely eat anything!" At the most basic level, weightloss is a matter of numbers; consume fewer calories than you expendand you'll lose weight. However, in this case, too much of a goodthing can actually sabotage your weight loss effort. When we feedour body the proper fuel, we have endless energy. As the intake ofcalories drops to very low levels, our body moves into starvationmode. This starvation mode triggers a lower metabolism as the bodybecomes super efficient at using what little energy or fuel itreceives. Fewer calories are burned and weight loss comes to astop. If you choose to give yourself a "pass" on the weekends forall your hard work starving yourself during the week, expect notonly difficulty with weight loss; you may actually experienceweight gain. Slow metabolism plus a Saturday/Sunday food and drinkfest ... you do the math.
很多人都有同样的抱怨,“我几乎什么都不吃,为什么还是瘦不下来?”基本说来,减肥就是跟数字打交道。你吃得比需要摄入得少,你就能瘦下来。但问题是,吃得太少也会妨碍你的减肥大业。当我们一天三餐正常饮食时,体内的能量是无限的。但如果能量摄入变得很少时,身体就自动切换到了饥饿模式,减缓新陈代谢。身体会非常高效地分配仅剩的能量,直到获得更多的能量补给。因此,热量消耗就会减慢,而体重也不会再下降。如果在一周辛苦节食之后,你想要在周末给你的胃放个假、吃顿大餐,那么你就别想减肥了,等待你的只能是增肥了。本来已经变慢的新陈代谢碰上饕餮盛宴会是什么结果?你自己算吧。

You're Getting Fewer Than 5 Hours A Night
睡眠不足5小时

Sleep is great for your brain, your skin, and, as it turnsout, your weight as well. An abundant amount of research indicatesthat a lack of sleep alters the digestive hormones that areresponsible for hunger and fullness. A lack of sleep may mean aloss of control of your portions the next day and an increasedcraving for sweets, fat and carbohydrates. Shoot for eight hours ofsleep each night and you're more likely to achieve great skin,great productivity and a great weight!
睡眠对于大脑、皮肤和体重都是大有好处的。大量研究证实,睡眠不足会改变体内与饥饿感和饱腹感相关的消化激素的分泌。也就是说,睡眠不足会降低身体对食物需求的控制力,增加对糖分、脂肪和碳水化合物的需求。保证每晚8小时的睡眠,你就会拥有健康的肌肤,充沛的活力,和理想的体重!
