冬季减肥支招（双语）

　　If you're trying to lose weight at this moment in time, then you might well be struggling with the winter months. Most of us find that our mood is generally lower during the winter. We experience more colds and coughs, more extreme weather, and drink more warm drinks. All of this means that we're likely to put weight on which is never good news when thinking about our diet. Luckily, there are things that you can do to try and minimize the effects of the weather this winter, and perhaps even lose weight instead of gaining it.

    　如果你正考虑这个时候减肥，也许你要在即将到来的冬天这个季节挣扎一下了。我们大多数人的情绪在冬季都非常低落。我们更多的会想到感冒咳嗽,更极端的气候及热乎乎的饮料。所有这些意味着我们从未考虑自己这一气候的饮食习惯。幸运的是,通过以下几点你可以减少今年冬天天气的影响,也许会减轻体重也说不定。

　　1. Sort out your mood.

　　调整你的情绪

      If you suffer from depression, then winter might mean that it is more obvious that there is something wrong with your mood.

You should think about the things in your life that are making you stressed, and see what you can do to try and change that. If you are feeling down about your work load, then why not try talking to your boss and see if there is anyone else within your department who might be able to take on some of the work that you're struggling with?

　　2.Keep up regular exercise.

　　 保持有规律的锻炼

   　 You need to do this, or your body will become unfit again and it will be a struggle when you get back to the summer months. In addition to this, exercise improves our mood and also speeds up our blood circulation and this means that we will be able to keep a lot warmer. This can cheer us up, and can stop us from feeling as though we need to eat comfort food during this time.

     你需要这样做,否则当夏季来临时你的身型将再次变得臃肿。此外,运动能改善我们的心情,也加快了我们的血液循环,这意味着我们能使自己保暖。这会鼓舞我们,让我们打消在这段时间吃食物来安慰自己的念头。
 
　　3. Save money on your heating.

　　节省你的供暖费

　　 It can't have escaped your attention that heating your home is very expensive these days. Luckily, if your body needs to heat up more, you will burn more calories, so this might mean that it is actually better for you if you should choose to turn the heating down a couple of degrees.

    　近来让你家的取暖费是非常很昂贵的。幸运的是,如果你的身体需要热量,你可以燃烧更多的卡路里,这就意味着实际上是更好的,所以你应该选择把暖气下降一些温度。

　　 4. Buy healthy foods.

  　 买健康的食品

     　Instead of stocking up on chocolate and sweets, why not stock up on fruit instead? Things such as nuts and rasins can be yummy, but won't have as much of an effect on your waistband as chocolate might have done. You could always try salted vegetable crisps, too, if you are a savoury kind of person, as these are much better for you than other brands of crisps that you might be a little bit addicted to at this moment in time.

　　与其储备很多巧克力和糖果,为什么不置办一些水果呢?诸如坚果和葡萄干很好吃,但不会像巧克力那样热量大。如果你是一个喜欢吃可口味道的人,你也可以尝试腌制蔬菜,因为这些比你这个季节沉溺于各种品牌的薯片要好得多。
