“The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not,” Mark Twain once wrote, predating the concerns of a generation of 5:2 dieters by a good century. It’s a common fear: that any attempt to eat better means somehow downgrading your quality of life, spending hours cramming steamed chicken into endless Tupperware containers and maybe – just maybe – never being able to have a Belgian bun again. But that’s not really true. You can improve your diet without sacrificing everything you hold dear. “唯一保持健康的方法就是去吃一些你不爱吃的，喝一些你不爱喝的东西，并做一些你不想做的（运动），”马克·吐温曾经写道，他在一个世纪以前就为使用5比2节食法的减肥一代提出了关注。大家都很害怕：任何试图吃的更好都是从某种程度上降低你的生活质量，花时间填满清蒸鸡放进无止境的特百惠保鲜盒里，而且可能——仅仅是可能——再也不会去碰比利时小面包了。但是这是不对的。亲爱的，不牺牲你想吃的那些东西依然可以改善饮食。 Eat a better breakfast. 早饭吃的更丰盛。 This doesn’t have to be difficult. The main thing to do is add protein – which experts roundly agree increases satiety and makes mid-morning snacking less likely – and fruit or veg. Two scrambled eggs and a handful of spinach will cover this quite nicely. No time/budget for that? Even an apple with a spoonful of nut butter is better than cereal – especially since non-digestible compounds in granny smiths have been linked to obesity-fighting effects. |
