Open newspaper or turn on the television.and you're certain to be bombarded with advertisements for weight-loss programs of every kind.
打開報紙或電視機,你一定會受到各種減肥計劃廣告的疲勞轟炸。
Some offer great advice and support. Millions of people have been helped by programs such as Weight Watchers,which encourages gradual,steady weight loss through a nutritious diet.
有些廣告提供很不錯的建議和鼓勵。數(shù)百萬人曾受惠于像《體重監(jiān)控員》之類的減肥計劃,這類計劃鼓勵采取營養(yǎng)的飲食方式漸進而持續(xù)地減肥。
Some others,however,are not very good at all and may even be outright dangerous,telling you to eat questionable concoctions or overextending yourself physically.
然而,其他有些廣告則一點都不好,甚至可能極具危險性,這些廣告慫恿你吃來路不明的成藥或是讓你的身體過度勞累。
Choose a weight-loss program by asking the following questions suggested by the American Dietetic Association:
選擇減重計劃時,先問自己以下幾個由美國營養(yǎng)協(xié)會所建議提出的問題:
How qualified are the people running the program?Is their sole claim to fame the fact that they lost some weight recently and now think they can show everybody else how to do so? Program leaders should be trained and experienced.
負責(zé)執(zhí)行該減肥計劃的人員是否有此資質(zhì)?這些人最近減了些體重,現(xiàn)在就認為他們能教大家如何減肥,僅僅這點是不是就成了他們出名的原因?帶領(lǐng)減肥計劃的人應(yīng)該是受過訓(xùn)練而且是有經(jīng)驗的。
Does the program present nutrition information,encourage you to exercise and offer counseling to help you change your habits and attitudes toward food?
該項計劃是否提出相關(guān)營養(yǎng)的信息、鼓勵你要運動,并提供咨詢以幫助你改變個人習(xí)慣以及對食物的態(tài)度?
Does the program offer follow-up? A good program will not just help you get thin and then send you off to fend for yourself. A good program will help you stay healthy and fit.
該項計劃是否提供追蹤治療?好的減肥計劃不是只幫助你變瘦,然后把你打發(fā)走讓你自生自滅。好的減肥計劃會幫助你持續(xù)保詩健康強壯。
