2 Healthy eating

One question I’m frequently asked is ＂What’s the secret to a healthy diet?＂ The answer isn’t all that mysterious. You just have to keep some basic guidelines in mind, beginning with:

经常有人问我：＂健康饮食有什么秘诀？＂ 其实答案并不神秘。你只需要遵循以下这些基本准则：

1. Use smaller plates. 用小点的盘子。

Whether you’re already trim or

trying to lose weight, one of the best

things you can do for your waistline and

your health is to downsize your dishware.

Cornell University nutrition researcher

Brian Wansink, PhD, has found that

switching from a 12-inch to a 10-inch plate leads people to eat 22 percent fewer calories. If you downsized only your dinner plate, you’d be eliminating more than 5,000 calories a month from your diet. It really is that simple.

不管你是已拥有苗条身材还是想减肥，掌控你的腰围和健康的最好的办法之一就是缩小餐具的尺寸。康奈尔大学营养学研究员布莱恩·文森克博士发现，把盘子从12英寸缩小到10英寸，可以使人们少摄入22%的卡路里。即使你只在晚饭时用小点的盘子，一个月下来你也可以从饮食中减少5 000卡路里的摄入。就是这么简单。

2. Make half of every meal fruits or vegetables. 每顿饭都要保证一半是水果或蔬菜。

At breakfast, fill your bowl halfway with cereal, then top it off with berries or sliced banana. At lunch, eat a smaller — or half —

sandwich, and add two pieces of fruit. At dinner, make sure

your plate is at least 50 percent salad, broccoli,

asparagus, cauliflower, or whatever veggie you choose.

This ensures that you get enough nutrients and

automatically reduces the amount of fat and calories you

consume (provided you don’t go crazy with fatty dressings and toppings).

2 早餐时可以吃半碗燕麦片，加浆果或香蕉片。午饭吃一个小点的（或半块）三明治和两块水果。晚饭保证你的餐盘里至少有50%的沙拉、西兰花、芦笋、花椰菜或者你自己喜欢吃的任何蔬菜。这不仅能保证你所需要的营养，而且能减少脂肪和卡路里的消耗（前提是你不迷恋多脂调味料和配料）。

3. Don’t eat on the run. 吃饭要细嚼慢咽。

The first problem with grabbing and gulping is that it

usually means fast food. And even a smallish fast food lunch

(small burger, medium fries, diet soda) delivers around 800

calories — more than the average woman would want to get

at dinner. When we eat on the go, our brains tend to register

the food as a snack — regardless of how many calories we

consume — leading us to overeat at our next meal.

狼吞虎咽通常意味着快餐。即使是很小份的快餐午饭（小汉堡、中包薯条、无糖汽水）热量也都有差不多800卡路里，这超过了一般女性想在晚饭时摄入的热量。当我们狼吞虎咽时，不管我们消耗了多少卡路里，大脑都会默认这些食物是零食，这会让我们下顿饭时吃得更多。

4. The shorter the ingredient list, the better. 营养成分列表越短越好。

Most of the healthiest foods have only one ingredient: Think broccoli, spinach, blueberries, etc. Longer lists generally mean more sugar, more salt, more artificial flavors. More unhealthy stuff.

绝大多数的健康食物都只有一种成分：比如西兰花、菠菜、蓝莓等。较长的营养成分列表通常意味着更多的糖和盐，更多的人工香料和更多的不健康的添加剂。

5. Nutritious food doesn’t have to be expensive. 有营养的食物不一定昂贵。

The smart choices cost no more. In fact,

there was a potential small savings

associated with the healthy selections.

And that’s without considering such

economical options as occasionally

substituting beans or lentils for meat, or

making a sandwich at home rather than spending money at a restaurant.

如果选择得当，有营养的食物并不昂贵。事实上，健康的选择甚至还可能省钱。偶尔用黄豆或扁豆来代替肉，或者是在家自己做三明治，而不是去饭店花钱吃，这些选择既经济又健康。

6. Take an extra ten minutes a day to prepare healthy meals. 每天多花十分钟时间准备健康的饭菜。

By devoting a few minutes to planning for more nutritious eating, you invest in your own health and that of your family. And when I say few, I mean it: Studies from UCLA suggest that a wholesome home-cooked dinner takes only about ten minutes longer to prepare, on average, than serving processed or ready-made food. If you make enough for leftovers you’ll save time in the long run. And don’t forget: Obesity, diabetes, and heart disease all lead to doctor and hospital visits —which take a lot of time.

每天花几分钟时间烹饪更有营养的饭菜，这对你和你的家人都有好处。这里说的几分钟，我是说真的：加州大学洛杉矶分校的研究认为，自己做一份有益健康的晚饭，比去饭店和叫外卖只约十分钟。如果你做的饭多得够下一顿吃，长期下来还会省下更多的时间。并且不要忘了：肥胖、糖尿病和心脏病会把你送进医院，这会浪费你更多的时间。

7. Retrain your palate. 反复训练你的味蕾。

As any 5-year-old or picky eater can attest, familiarity is a powerful driver

malleable and can be taught to appreciate new

and subtler flavors. When you swap processed,

high-fat, sodium-packed, and oversweetened

food for healthier fare, it can take one to

two weeks before your taste buds acclimate. Don’t expect to love new flavors right away ( …… 此处隐藏：2289字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
