Unit 48 用“眼不見，心不想”來戰(zhàn)勝自己的食欲吧
A surefire technique for wrecking any diet is to expose yourself to food you're trying to avoid.This sounds like common sense,but many a self-confident dieter imagines that he or she should possess enough willpower to abstain from overeating in any situation.Scientists say it just isn't so.
只要你讓自己置身于想避免的食物當(dāng)中，任何節(jié)食計(jì)劃鐵定會(huì)失敗。這聽起來像是基本常識(shí)，但還是有很多充滿自信的節(jié)食者以為，自己在任何情況下都應(yīng)該有足夠的意志力來避免吃得太多。研究學(xué)者們說事實(shí)并非如此。
In two experiments at Boston University Hospital,dieters were exposed to the sight and smell of favorite foods.which made them suddenly"hungry."When allowed these foods,the dieters ate far more food than usual.
在波士頓大學(xué)醫(yī)院的兩個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)中，只要讓節(jié)食者置身在自己喜歡的食物和香味中，他們會(huì)忽然變得很“饑餓”。要是獲準(zhǔn)吃這些食物，節(jié)食者會(huì)吃得比平時(shí)多得多。
"Mere exposure to the sight and smell of palatable food is sufficient to precipitate loss of dieting motivation,"the researchers conclude.They theorize that the dieters feel anxious or nervous in the presence of foods that they like but are supposed to be trying to avoid.Ironically,it's the very anxiety that can lead to overeating.
研究人員作出的結(jié)論是:“光是美食當(dāng)前和撲鼻而來的香味就足以使人快速失去節(jié)食的動(dòng)機(jī)。”他們推論出節(jié)食者看到了他們很喜歡但又應(yīng)該設(shè)法避免的食物出現(xiàn)時(shí)，會(huì)感到焦慮或緊張。而諷刺的是，就是這種焦慮感會(huì)導(dǎo)致他們暴食暴飲。
Don't torment yourself.Keep favorite foods out of your hose.Don't prepare them for someone else,thinking that you can just enjoy looking at them.Don't hover around tables as other people are enjoying your favorites. Win with the old slogan: Out of sight，out of mind.
別折磨自己了。家里不要儲(chǔ)存你最愛吃的食物。不要為別人準(zhǔn)備這些食物，認(rèn)為自己只要看著別人吃就可以了。在別人享用你最愛的食物時(shí)，不要在餐桌旁流連。用“眼不見，心不想”這句老話來戰(zhàn)勝自己的食欲吧。
