A：Oh man!I’ve been starving myself for days now and I haven’t lost an ounce!天哪!我已經(jīng)餓了好幾天了，卻一點(diǎn)都沒(méi)減下來(lái)。

B：Are you trying to lose weight?你在減肥嗎?

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.是的，我朋友下個(gè)月結(jié)婚。我要做伴娘，我必須穿禮服時(shí)苗條些，在她的婚禮上漂亮些。但是我根本就沒(méi)減下來(lái)?？纯催@些游泳圈。

B：You don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. I think that’s where you’re going wrong.你不必通過(guò)挨餓來(lái)減肥，我認(rèn)為你的方法不對(duì)。

A：Why? If I eat less, then my body will start eating away at my fat reserves, right?為什么?如果我吃的少，那么身體就會(huì)消耗掉儲(chǔ)存的多余脂肪，對(duì)吧?

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.并不是這樣。你應(yīng)該不吃高熱量，高糖和高脂肪的食物。遠(yuǎn)離油炸食品和人造香料。

A：So you are saying that I should eat, but I should just watch what I eat?你是說(shuō)我應(yīng)該吃東西，但是應(yīng)該小心選擇食品?

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.是的，你應(yīng)該少吃糖類和高膽固醇的食物。你可以吃些煮過(guò)的蔬菜，多吃些富含蛋白質(zhì)的食物，比如雞肉和魚肉。

A：If I do all this do you think I can lose twenty pounds in four weeks?如果我按照你說(shuō)的那樣做，我在四周時(shí)間里能減去20鎊嗎?

B：Don’t count on it.不要只想靠飲食就能減肥。
