时间：2019-01-20 作者：英语课 分类：纯正地道美语
A: Oh man! I’ve been starving myself for days now and I haven’t lost an ounce!
B: Are you trying to lose weight?
A: Yeah, my friend is getting married next month and I’m supposed to be a bridesmaid. I have to fit into my dress and look nice for her wedding, but I haven’t lost any weight! Look at these love handles.
B: You don’t have to starve yourself to lose weight. I think that’s where you’re going wrong.
A: Why? If I eat less, then my body will start eating away at my fat reserves, right?
B: Not really. You should try to not eat foods high in calories, salts or saturated 1 fats. Stay away from oily food and artificial flavors.
A: So you are saying that I should eat, but I should just watch what I eat?
B: Yes! You can also try to reduce your intake 2 of carbohydrates 3 and foods that are high in cholesterol 4. You can have steamed veggies or increase your protein intake found in chicken or fish.
A: If I do all this do you think I can lose twenty pounds in four weeks?
B: Don’t count on it.
