My View on Losing Weight

When it comes to the standard of good figure, people have the stereotype, i.e., the slimmer, the better. Just open a fashion magazine, all the super-models are skinny. It seems that only a thin person can look good in a fine dress. So, more and more people, especially young girls, are joining the team of losing weight. However, I think losing weight blindly can lead to negative effects.

说到好身材的标准，人们都有一种刻板印象，那就是越瘦越好看。随便翻开一本杂志，所有的模特都很瘦。似乎只有瘦子才能驾驭一条好看的裙子。所以，越来越多的人，特别是年轻的女孩们，开始加入到减肥大军的行列中去。然而，我认为不恰当的减肥会造成很多负面效果。
On one hand, losing weight blindly can cause eating disorder, low blood sugar and anxiety. Some girls are already in good shape, but they pay too much attention to their outwards appearance and spare no efforts to lose weight. In order to reach this goal, the young girls leave out breakfast; eat a little rice and some fruit at lunch, as to the supper, just few cabbage leaves and several bottles of water. They all forget that human’s body needs enough energy so it can function well. However, these young girls fail to realize this. They refuse to take meats or any other so-called gain-weight food. As a result, their bodies had suffered contortion due to malnutrition. Accord to the research, the person who loses weight improper is more easily getting fracture than others. What’s more, losing weight takes courage and determination. Not every losing weight girl has a strong will. You may hear her say that she wants to lose weight, and later you will see her eating junk-food because she is too hungry. Some of the girls eat nothing in the morning while take lots of food in the afternoon. Such behaviors can lead to eating-disorder. It’s really unwise to do so.
一方面，盲目的减肥可能会引起饮食失调，低血糖和焦虑症。一些女孩的身材已经很好了，但是她们对自己的外观要求太高，以至于不惜余力减肥。为了达到这一目标，这些女孩不吃早餐，中餐就吃几口米饭和一些水果，至于晚餐就吃几片菜叶，喝下好几瓶水。她们完全忘记了人的身体需要足够的能量才能运转，可是她们并没有意识到这一点。她们拒绝吃肉，也不吃所谓的“会长胖”的食物。结果就是，她们的身材由于营养不良而变得扭曲。研究发现，那些减肥不合理的人骨折的概率要高于正常人。而且，减肥需要勇气和决心。不是每个减肥的女孩都有着坚定不移的信念的。也许你听说今天她要减肥，过了一会儿就会看见她在吃垃圾食品，因为实在是饿得不行。有些人甚至早上不吃东西，下午则吃一大堆食品，这样会导致饮食失调。这实在不是明智之举。
On the other hand, doing physical exercise and eating a healthy diet is a wise way to lose weight. Eat three meals a day. Leave out the junk food, such as chocolates, bread which contain trans-fat, soft drinks, and so on. Try to eat more fruit and vegetables. Eating meat is not the main factor of gaining weight, but eating more.
另一方面，进行体育运动和培养健康的饮食习惯是减肥的好方法。每天吃三餐，不吃垃圾食品。例如说巧克力、含有反式脂肪的面包，软饮料等等。试着吃更多的蔬菜和水果。而吃肉不是长胖的主要原因之一,吃太多的肉才是。
Do not follow the trend blindly. You don’t need to suffer from your peers’ pressure just because they tell you that the thinner, the better. But one thing is true, healthy is the beauty.
不要盲目的跟风减肥，也不需要承受来自同龄人的压力，只因为他们告诉你说越瘦越美丽。只有一件事是真的，那就是健健康康才是美。
