時尚雙語:40種減肥並保持身材的妙招
The majority of people who look at their health usually start off their quest for wellness with losing weight. In this month of February, as people are still working on their goals and resolutions, there are more advertisements and promotions for weight loss and fitness videos, programs and workouts.
I set myself on the quest to compile a list of 40 ways one could lose weight fast and more importantly keep off putting the weight back on. The list is by no means conclusive, but it is a collection of ideas, methods and strategies from all around the world.
1. Count your calories - the most straightforward method is simply to count up the number of calories you take in and the number of calories you give off and then you simply give off more calories than you take in.
2. Increase your dietary protein by having a protein shake at least once a day. Protein will help your body facilitate weight loss and can be important to a good plan.
3. Pay attention to what you eat. Document it daily in your journal and consciously create more water-rich healthier meals.
4. Buddy up. Find a friend who is also interested in weight loss and work together, giving each other support in your plans. The support and accountability a friend gives is massive. The Get A Life 2008 system provides a great structure for this.
5. Decrease your carb intake. Eat less bread and pasta.
6. Avoid junk food altogether. No more McDonalds, Burger Kind, KFC. Junk food gives you “empty calories” and unneeded weight loss.
7. Keep hydrated. Drink lots of water throughout the day. Read about starting your day with a pint of water in the free How to Live Healthy in an Unhealthy World book.
8. Plan your workouts. Your workouts need to be planned - journal exactly what you’re going to do and make sure you follow it strictly for a few weeks.
9. Get some good sleep. Sleep is vital to body rejuvenation and repair so make sure you get some good sleep and keep your timings consistent. Lack of sleep can contribute to lack of weight loss.
10. Go on a juice detox.
11. Listen to subliminal or self-hypnosis weight loss CDs or downloads.
12. A positive attitude. Get your attitude in check and realise the outlook is positive when you get going and sheding the amount of weight you want to lose.
13. Accept how weight loss works. This one is important. Some people don’t want to accept the natural processes of body and are looking for quick rewards. Weight loss takes place over time so be consistent and committed, and you will see big results.
14. Keep hunger quiet. When you feel hungry, opt for fresh fruit or a glass of water. This will help cover the hunger.
15. Get your free gym trial and see if it’s for you. Meet with a personal trainer and map out your plan for weight loss. These guys are the experts in helping you get a safe plan that meets your time schedules.
16. Follow Honey Kalaria’s Bollywood Workout, also used by Madonna - a fun way to workout and lose weight.
17. Read Tom Venuto’s “Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle” and all his extra free bonuses.
18. Increase Metabolism. If you’re having trouble losing weight, try a natural supplement that helps do this.
19. Go on a low fat diet. Low fat is good for your heart too.
20. The Atkins Diet. This seems to work as there are success stories but many people feel nauseated by the high fat content. It also doesn’t seem to keep you healthy for life.
21. Lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks.
22. Try the Lemonade Diet and Master Cleanse.
23. Form a new weight loss habit in 21 days.
24. Take Suvaril. This is a revolutionary weight loss pill helping people achieve healthy and great looking bodies the natural way.
25. Eat only until satisfied. Too many people eat and eat and eat even if they’ve had enough. Eat only till your satisfied.
26. Jog up a hill. Hills are like lifting weights for runners. Do this only if you have enough endurance built up. It will also help convert useful fat to a little muscle.
27. Follow Leo’s Zen Weight Loss plan.
28. Stay away from sweetened and fizzy drinks.
29. Drink a glass of water before you start the meal. Water naturally needs some space so that you feel fuller without actually having to stuff yourself.
30. Stay away from fried foods. Fried foods are fried in oil or fat. And even if the external oil is drained away, there is still a lot of hidden oil in it so stay away from it.
31. Avoid chocolate. Chocolates are not or at least they should not be a part of your diet. So do not indulge too much in them.
32. Consider going Vegetarian or Vegan. Here’s how.
33. Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day instead of three large meals. It is an excellent way of having smaller quantities of food.
34. No more beer. Beer can be fattening if had on a regular basis.
35. Boil your vegetables instead of cooking them, or even better, eat them fresh.
36. Do not be a couch potato.
37. Try out Carol Vorderman’s 28 Day Detox Diet.
38. Attend The Raw Food Party with Peter Pure.
39. Try yoga. Yoga is one of the best ways of losing weight. And it seems to be massive in 2008!
40. Don’t compare yourself to others. Everyone’s plans, body and patterns are different. Work at your own pace.
大多數注重健康的人開始探索用減肥來保持健康的方法。這個二月，人們在爲了自己的目標和決定繼續工作的同時，也出現了更多關於減肥的廣告及一些視頻、節目和測試。
我慫恿自己嘗試着彙編了40種快速減肥的方法，重要的是重量也不會反彈。這份列表並不是絕對管用的，它只是一份來自全世界的好主意和好策略的彙總。
1、計算你的卡路里——最直接的方法就是把你攝入和消耗的卡路里的數量相減，然後是消耗的卡路里大於射入的卡路里。
2、通過每天至少一次的蛋白質混合飲料的攝入來增加你的蛋白質攝入量。蛋白質能幫助你更快地減輕重量，更重要的是這是一個對人體有益的好計劃。
3、注意你的飲食。每天在你的本子上記錄下並有意識地製作含水分豐富的膳食。
4、與夥伴合作。找一個同樣對減肥感興趣的朋友與他一起減肥，互相給予支持。一個好朋友所給的支持和責任是堅實的。“2008享受生活體制”爲我們提供了一個很好的組織。
５、減少汽化物的攝入量。少吃些麪包和意大利麪。
６、避免吃任何的垃圾食品。不再吃麥當勞，漢堡王，肯德基。垃圾食品只能提供“空熱量”，這對減肥時無用的。
７、保持水分充足。一整天都要多喝水。在《如何在不健康的世界中活得健康》這本書中“以一品脫的水開始新的一天”這篇文章。
8、有計劃地測試體重。你的測試必須是有計劃性的本子中需要確切紀錄你將要做的並確定你能持續幾個星期嚴格執行。
9、保持良好睡眠。睡眠對於身體恢復活力是至關重要的，因此你需要確保你有良好的睡眠並保持固定時間睡眠。缺乏睡眠會使減肥所需的能量缺乏。
10、堅持用果汁戒癮。
11、收聽讓自己潛意識裏減肥和自我催眠的碟片或音頻。
12、有積極的態度。控制你的態度並且當你開始爲了你的目標體重減肥是要明白你的前景是積極的。
13、接受你的體重的增減。這點是很重要的。一些人不能夠接受身體正常的發展並試圖尋找更快的方法。減肥是隨時間的推移而改變的我們應當忠於這種自然規律，這樣你就能看見明顯的成效。
14、忍受飢餓。當你覺得餓的時候，選擇吃些水果或是喝一杯水。這樣能夠幫助你忍受住飢餓。
15、去你能免費試用的體育館，並看清它是否對你開放。去和以爲私人教練見面並請他爲你制定一份減肥計劃。這些人對於幫你制定一個安全的固定計劃是很熟練的。
16、按照Honey Kalaria所寫的《寶萊塢測試》一書中所說的去做，麥當娜就是這樣做的。這是既能減肥又能測試自己的好途徑。
17、閱讀Tom Venuto的《燃燒脂肪、強壯肌肉》，另外它還有豐厚的獎金。
18、加快新陳代謝。如果你的減肥遇到困難，嘗試一種自然補充來幫助你更快地新陳代謝。
19、節食去吃一些低脂肪的食物。低脂肪食物對你的健康也是有益的。
20、採用低碳水飲食。這看起來像是個成名史但很多人對高脂肪食物感到厭惡。這看起來並不像是對身體健康有益。
21、在兩週內減掉10英鎊。
22、嘗試檸檬汁食譜和檸檬之斷食法。
23、用21天來養成新的減肥習慣。
24、服用健康減肥的小膠囊。許多人不停吃這個即使他們已經吃了足夠的了。只要吃到你滿意就行。
25、慢跑上一座小山。小山對於跑步者來說就像是負重。除非你有足夠的耐力，否則不要選擇這種方式。這也能幫助你將脂肪轉化爲少量的肌肉。
27、遵守 Leo’s Zen 的減肥計劃。
28、遠離碳酸飲料。
29、在吃飯前喝一杯水。雖會佔一些你胃裏的空間，這樣會使你在空腹時就感覺有些飽。
30、遠離油炸食品。油炸食品炸的時候太油膩了。所以即使表面上的油從排油口流出去了，還是會有許多的油隱藏在裏面，因此最好遠離他們。
31、避免吃巧克力。巧克力不能作爲你的食譜至少不能成爲你食譜中的一部分。所以不要縱容自己吃太多巧克力。
32、考慮成爲一個素食主義者。這裏是方法。
33、每天吃5到6次少量的進餐代替3次大量的正餐。這是減少飲食方面問題的極好方法。
34、杜絕喝啤酒。啤酒會使你在正常基礎上變胖。
35、用煮蔬菜來代替炒菜，或是吃新鮮的，這樣更好。
36、不要做一個終日懶懶散散在家的人。
37、試試Carol Vorderman的28天排毒減肥菜譜。
38、和Peter Pure一起加入生食派隊。
39、嘗試練瑜伽。瑜伽是減肥的最好方法之一。而且它似乎是2008年的火爆項目！
40、不要去同他人比較。因爲每個人的計劃、體質和樣子都是不同的。以你自己的步調減肥，不要受到任何事的影響。
