A：Oh man! I’ve been starving myself for days now and I haven’t lost an ounce!  

天哪！我已经饿了好几天了，却一点都没减下来。

B：Are you trying to lose weight?  

你在减肥吗？

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，我朋友下个月结婚。我要做伴娘，我必须穿礼服时苗条些，在她的婚礼上漂亮些。但是我根本就没减下来。看看这些游泳圈。

B：You don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. I think that’s where you’re going wrong.  

你不必通过挨饿来减肥，我认为你的方法不对。

A：Why? If I eat less, then my body will start eating away at my fat reserves, right?  

为什么？如果我吃的少，那么身体就会消耗掉储存的多余脂肪，对吧？

B：Not really. You should try to not eat foods high in calories, salts or saturated¹ fats. Stay away from oily food and artificial flavors.  

并不是这样。你应该不吃高热量，高糖和高脂肪的食物。远离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?  

你是说我应该吃东西，但是应该小心选择食品？

B：Yes! You can also try to reduce your intake² of carbohydrates³ and foods that are high in cholesterol⁴. You can have steamed veggies or increase your protein intake found in chicken or fish.  

是的，你应该少吃糖类和高胆固醇的食物。你可以吃些煮过的蔬菜，多吃些富含蛋白质的食物，比如鸡肉和鱼肉。

A：If I do all this do you think I can lose twenty pounds in four weeks?  

如果我按照你说的那样做，我在四周时间里能减去20镑吗？

B：Don’t count on it.  

不要只想靠饮食就能减肥。
