 　　Unit 42 Don’t give up，even if you slip up.

　　Unit 42 即使出了小差错，也别放弃

　　Researchers at the University of Illinois investigated the response of a group of college men and women to a large milk shake before a meal. Half of the students were on a diet，while the other half were not. All were given a large milk shake before a meal. Non-dieters ate smaller meals following the milk shake.

　　伊利诺大学的研究人员利用餐前一大杯奶昔来调查一组男女大学生的反应。有一半学生在节食，而另一半则没有。所有人都在餐前拿到一大杯奶昔。非节食的人喝完奶昔后饭吃得较少。

　　Dieters，however, ate more ice cream after the milk shake，demonstrating what weightloss experts call the"counter-regulation" effect，a psychological¹ tendency to overeat after having eaten something not allowed on one’s diet-"I blew it, so I may as well give up.”Non-dieters pay more attention to their level of satiety², or fullness. Avoid eating the wrong foods in the first place.

　　然而，节食者喝完奶昔后，却吃了更多的冰淇淋，这就验证了减肥专家所称的“反管制”效应，也就是一种吃了节食中不该吃的食物后就会产生暴食的心理倾向—“我搞砸了，所以干脆放弃算了。”非节食者则较留意他们的饱足感或满足感。所以一开始就要避免吃不该吃的东西。
