好像很多想要減重或減肥的人，
還是不太清楚飲食控制跟節食的分別，
常常控制過頭就變成節食，
前幾天看到一篇關於節食的文章，
覺得還蠻有道理也蠻淺顯易懂的，
放上來跟大家分享一下。
出自於澳洲的一位教練Kayla Itsines，
（她出了一本Bikini Body Guide，有興趣的話可以去google一下。）

以下節錄
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!
那些很流行的節食法大部份都是不切實際的，因為它們標榜短時間減去體重。
很多節食法都教你只吃一種食物或是完全不吃某類食物，
也許短時間內可以做到，但要長期照這方法吃卻是很困難的。
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，很多節食法不但不切實際，還難以維持。
因為你如果完全不吃某種食物，或是只吃某種食物，久了你可能會覺得很厭倦，
如果是完全不吃某種食物的方法，長期下來不但缺乏該種營養，
一旦吃到這個食物，還可能會產生補償心態大吃特吃。
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.
不管哪種節食方法都會對你的健康帶來各種危害，
假設你採用的是限制熱量或不吃某種食物，就會缺乏該種營養，
人體需要每一種營養素來維持基本功能及運作。
恢復正常飲食之後還會產生溜溜球效應。
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.
老實說，當我們開始這也不能吃、那也不能吃之後，心情通常就會變差了。
而且限制熱量或某種營養的攝取之後，體力也會變差。
當然很多人可以堅持到底達成節食的目標，
但是你想想看，節食過程中你真的覺得身心狀況都比節食之前好嗎？
到這邊都是在講節食的壞話XD
