Unit 39 試試平日節(jié)食周末大吃的飲食方法
"If I knew I had to be on a diet seven days a week,I'd go nuts,"says Michelle Munoz,a Chicago realtor,“but five days I can handle."
“如果我知道一周七天都得節(jié)食,一定會瘋掉的,”一位在芝加哥從事房地產(chǎn)中介的米雪兒·慕諾斯如是說,她接著又說:“但節(jié)食五天的話,我就還可以忍受。”
Michelle was determined to lose the 30 pounds she had put on over the course of a long winter.Monday through Friday she cut calories drastically by sticking to dressing-free salads,lean meat and steamed vegetables,and by gutting the nix on desserts altogether. Come Saturday and Sunday,however, she allowed herself whatever her stomach desired,from take--out pizza to double-dip Oreos.
米雪兒決心要減去她在漫長的冬天所增加的三十磅體重。周一到周五她都以吃不加醬的沙拉、瘦肉和蒸過的蔬菜,也完全不吃甜點(diǎn),來減低卡路里。然而,每到周六和周日,她就允許自己大開吃戒,從外送的比薩到Oreo(品牌名)雙料巧克力夾心餅干,什么都吃。
"This way I don't feel deprived.”Michelle says."The funny thing is.I really can't eat that much junk after five days of not eating it. .. but I still get to have anything I want."
米雪兒說:“這樣我才不會覺得被剝奪了吃的權(quán)利,”她接著又說:“奇怪的是,五天不吃那些東西之后,我真的吃不下那么多的垃圾食物了……,但我還是可以吃任何想吃的東西。”
Michelle lost the last of the 30 founds months ago but she occasionally resumes her weekday/weekend routine whenever she finds she’s put on a few pounds.This technique doesn’t work for everyone--some people manage to regain a week’s worth of weight loss over aweekend---but it may very well work for you.
米雪兒幾個月前終于減掉了三十磅,但只要她偶爾發(fā)現(xiàn)自己胖了幾磅,就會重新進(jìn)行她的平日節(jié)食周末大吃的飲食習(xí)慣。這種方法不見得對每個人都適用————有些人可能在周末就把平日節(jié)食的體重吃回去了————但它也可能對你非常有效。
