时差N小时:谈减肥

Mike: Hey! Watch where you're sitting, Miss. Piggy!There's not enough room on the sofa for you.

迈克：嘿!小母猪，看看你坐的位子!沙发都容不下你了。

Amanda: Put a sock in it! You need to shed a fewkilograms as well.

阿曼达：闭嘴!别光说我，你也该减减肥了。

Mike: Well, I've been mulling that dilemma overactually. I read about the latest diet that promisesrapid weight loss in only one week.

迈克：嗯，我也一直觉得进退两难。我读到了最新的减肥方法，它承诺仅用一星期就可快速减肥。

Amanda: Sounds like another ridiculous fad to me. I suppose you've got to wrap yourself incellophane and sit in a sauna!

阿曼达：又是一个荒谬的时髦。我觉得你应该把自己包在玻璃纸里，然后去蒸桑拿!

Mike: Very funny. Actually, it had something to do with eating fewer carbohydrates and moreprotein. Apparently that makes your body burn its fat supplies for energy.

迈克：很有趣。其实，我们应该少摄入碳水化合物，多摄入蛋白质。显然，这样可以燃烧掉你身体里的脂肪。

Amanda: Hmm. Well, my doctor said that the best way to slim down is to think about yourlong-term health. Most people resort to crash diets, but let themselves go when they'vefinished. The whole point is to change the way you eat permanently.

阿曼达：嗯。我的医生告诉我，减肥的最好的方式就是要为你的长期健康着想。大多数人选择急速减肥，但当他们减肥成功时，自己的身体也垮了。我们只需要改变我们饮食方式就可以了。

Mike: I see. So, there's nothing wrong with eating whatever you like, but you should just slowlyphase out the really deplorable stuff, like junk food.

迈克：我明白了。我们吃什么都可以，但是要逐渐摒弃毫无营养可言的食物，例如那些垃圾食品。

Amanda: Basically that's it. My doctor's mantra is "Eat less, eat well, exercise more."

阿曼达：大体如此。我的医生的箴言就是;“少吃，吃好，多锻炼。”

Mike: You've just got to keep at it then.

迈克：你一直坚持这样吧?

Amanda: Yeah. Dieting isn't for quitters.

阿曼达：是的。节食减肥可不是一夕而就的。
