想要完美身材?来试下稀奇古怪的节食小技巧

 　　渴望保持良好身材的你是否总为吃得过多而发愁？种种美味的食物是否总是带给你许多困扰？本文给大家介绍几种实用而古怪的节食小技巧。

　　Step 1: Wear tight clothes

　　Wear tight clothes when you eat — especially if you’re in the habit of changing into something roomy when you come home from work. The snugness¹ is a tactile² reminder³ not to overindulge.

　　方法 1: 穿紧身的衣服

　　在吃饭的时候穿上紧身的衣服，特别是在你是一个酷爱一下班就换上宽松舒适衣服的人。紧身的衣服是一个感官的信号，提示你不能过分沉溺。

　　Step 2: Pay cash

　　Pay cash for food, whether you’re at the grocery store or in a restaurant. People who use cash think more carefully about what they’re purchasing, and that extends to the food choices they make.

　　方法2： 支付现金

　　用现金来购买食物，无论你是在杂货店还是在小餐馆里。支付现金会使人们在购买时考周全，进而在选择食物时也更加慎重。

　　Step 3: Highlight fruit and veggies

　　Put colorful fruits and vegetables in pretty bowls and stands in well-lit areas; you’ll eat more of them if they’re beautifully and conspicuously⁴ displayed.Conversely, place junk food in front of a mirror, and you’ll be less likely to eat it.

　　方法3：把水果和蔬菜放在明显的地方

　　把五颜六色的水果和蔬菜装在一个漂亮的碗里，然后放在光线明亮的地方；相信你如果它们被这样精心地装扮过后，你会愿意多吃一点。相反，把那些垃圾食物放在镜子面前，这样你可以少吃一点啦！

　　Step 4: Use the rule of two

　　Use the “rule of 2” at a buffet⁵: go as many times as you want, but limit yourself to no more than 2 types of food per trip. Studies have shown that variety makes us eat more.

　　方法4：使用“2法则”

　　在自助台前使用”2法则“：即不妨能走几趟就多走几趟，而且每次最多拿两种食物。研究说明食物种类越多，我们吃得也越多。

　　Step 5: Eat in peace

　　Eat some meals alone, in silence. People eat more in groups, and they eat more when the TV is on. Dining solo, with no distractions⁶, forces you to focus on the food, which helps you recognize when you’ve had enough.People who were given a tall, thin glass poured themselves 74 percent less of a beverage⁷ than those sipping⁸ out of a short, squat⁹ glass.

　　方法5：一个人吃饭

　　偶尔一个人吃饭，安安静静地、专心地吃饭。一群人一起吃饭总是容易吃得很多，而在电视机前也是如此。一个人吃饭，没有干扰地，将会迫使你专注于食物。这样能帮助你意识到自己什么时候吃饱了。
