英語播客初級版 第183期(外教講解):節(jié)食減肥

A: Oh man! I’ve been starving myself for days now and I haven’t lost an ounce!
B: Are you trying to lose weight?
A: Yeah, my friend is getting married next month and I’m supposed to be a bridesmaid. I have to fit into my dress and look nice for her wedding, but I haven’t lost any weight! Look at these love handles.
B: You don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. I think that’s where you’re going wrong.
A: Why? If I eat less, then my body will start eating away at my fat reserves, right?
B: Not really. You should try to not eat foods high in calories, salts or saturated fats. Stay away from oily food and artificial flavors.
A: So you are saying that I should eat, but I should just watch what I eat?
B: Yes! You can also try to reduce your intake of carbohydrates and foods that are high in cholesterol. You can have steamed veggies or increase your protein intake found in chicken or fish.
A: If I do all this do you think I can lose twenty pounds in four weeks?
B: Don’t count on it.

B: 你在減肥嗎?

B: 你不必通過挨餓來減肥，我認為你的方法不對。
A: 為什么?如果我吃的少，那么身體就會消耗掉儲存的多余脂肪，對吧?

A: 你是說我應(yīng)該吃東西，但是應(yīng)該小心選擇食品?
