好像很多想要减重或减肥的人，
还是不太清楚饮食控制跟节食的分别，
常常控制过头就变成节食，
前几天看到一篇关于节食的文章，
觉得还蛮有道理也蛮浅显易懂的，
放上来跟大家分享一下。
出自于澳洲的一位教练Kayla Itsines，
（她出了一本Bikini Body Guide，有兴趣的话可以去google一下。）

以下节录
They Aren’t Realistic
Most fad diets aren’t realistic because they promise quick weight loss
results. While this may be achievable in the short term, it isn't usually a
long term solution because it is so hard to stick to them. A lot of fad diets
require you to only eat from one food group or cut out other food groups in
order to lose weight quickly. I’m not sure about you, but I know I
definitely couldn’t live off something like cabbage soup for the rest of my
life!
那些很流行的节食法大部份都是不切实际的，因为它们标榜短时间减去体重。
很多节食法都教你只吃一种食物或是完全不吃某类食物，
也许短时间内可以做到，但要长期照这方法吃却是很困难的。
They Aren't Sustainable
In conjunction with my point above, many diets are not only unrealistic, but
they aren’t sustainable. This is because if you are cutting out food groups
or only living off one type of food, there is going to come a point where you
will probably get sick of it. This may result in binges that can be hard to
stop once you have started. The worst outcome of all this is the emotional
ramifications that can occur as a result of binging. You may feel like a
failure or that you can’t keep up a healthy lifestyle when this isn’t the
case at all.
承上，很多节食法不但不切实际，还难以维持。
因为你如果完全不吃某种食物，或是只吃某种食物，久了你可能会觉得很厌倦，
如果是完全不吃某种食物的方法，长期下来不但缺乏该种营养，
一旦吃到这个食物，还可能会产生补偿心态大吃特吃。
They Can Be Harmful
Depending on what sort of diet you are following, it can actually be harmful
for your body. If you are restricting calories or certain food groups, you
may be lacking in essential nutrients your body needs to function. For many
people, once your diet is over you often go back to your previous eating
patterns, which may be what caused weight gain in the first place. If you
decide to complete another diet, you may become trapped in the cycle we know
as ‘yo-yo’ dieting - which is not the way to sustain a healthy lifestyle.
不管哪种节食方法都会对你的健康带来各种危害，
假设你采用的是限制热量或不吃某种食物，就会缺乏该种营养，
人体需要每一种营养素来维持基本功能及运作。
恢复正常饮食之后还会产生溜溜球效应。
They Are No Fun
Let’s be honest, when we are restricting ourselves and what we eat, we are
generally not in the best of moods. Add to this the fact that our energy
levels may also be lower due to the fact we are either restricting calories
or other nutrients. Sure, you can ‘stick it out’ and finish a diet, but
when you do this are you really in a better place then when you first
started? This way there is no pleasure involved in becoming ‘healthier'.
Rather than seeing this as a positive step in your life, you may build an
UNhealthy relationship with food and health in general.
老实说，当我们开始这也不能吃、那也不能吃之后，心情通常就会变差了。
而且限制热量或某种营养的摄取之后，体力也会变差。
当然很多人可以坚持到底达成节食的目标，
但是你想想看，节食过程中你真的觉得身心状况都比节食之前好吗？
到这边都是在讲节食的坏话XD
