Struggling to stick to your diet? Then make sure you stock up on fruit and veg – even if you don’t eat it. 坚持减肥很痛苦？开始储备大量的水果和蔬菜吧——即使你不吃它们。 Scientists have discovered that the sight and smell of healthy food can help dieters stick to their weight-loss goals. 科学家们发现，健康食物的外观和味道能帮助减肥者坚持他们的减肥食谱。 In one test people reduced their chocolate consumption by more than half if they smelt a fresh orange first. 在一项测试中，人们在闻了新鲜橙子的味道后就减少了一大半的巧克力摄入量。 And diners who started with a salad instead of garlic bread went on to eat a smaller main course – because the sight of the lettuce reminded them about their diet. 而那些以一份色拉而不是蒜蓉面包开始晚饭的人则会吃更少的主食。——因为吃剩下的生菜会提醒他们减肥的事儿。 Researcher Nicola Buckland said that when tempted by food, dieters should ‘take a few moments to focus on the sensory properties of healthy food, such as the sight and smell of fruit or salad vegetables’. 研究人员尼古拉-巴克兰表示，当受到食物的诱惑时，减肥者们可以“花点时间关注于获取那些健康食物的感官性状，诸如水果和蔬菜的外观和味道。” She added: ‘Healthy food cues can provide an instant reminder to dieters. Or order a salad as a starter to help reduce intake.’ |
