Some people don’t mind being fat. Other people can keep slim without any effort.

Some people don’tmind being fat. Other people can keep slim (苗条) without any effort. But a lot of people do put on toomuch weight and don’t like it. The question is, what can thy do about it?

Some believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble isthat it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out a couple of poundsplaying tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with abig steak or bread and jam.

A helpful way is food choosing. But what sort of foodshould you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they willbe. They don’t eat anything until they become weak with hunger. Some stick tomilk and bananas. You’ll find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you livewhere they grow, they aren’t cheap. Another says that if you eat things likehard-boiled eggs, and apples with their skins on which are hard for yourstomach to digest (消化),the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat inyour body to get the energy to digest the food.

For most of us these methods are too extreme (极端的). The simplest way is just to cutdown on the carbohydrates (糖类) that means not eatingbread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice, and so on and eating anything else youlike. It’s straight forward and often quite effective.

Still others like tobe more scientific. They are calorie countries. They get a table, which tellsthem that, for example, 100 grams of roast let of lamb gives you 330 calories anda 50 gram helping of Yokshire pudding gives you 130 calories.
