　　出奇制胜！八种超有效的奇葩减肥法

　　1. Bigger Breakfast

　　早餐加分量

　　We know that skipping breakfast is a bad idea. Make your first meal the main meal of the day. Let it be big enough! It has been reported that people who eat a big breakfast lose up to 9 pounds across a 7-month period. Those who eat a larger dinner lose around three.

　　我们都知道不吃早饭是一个坏习惯。让你每天的第一餐变成一天中最主要的一餐吧。要吃得饱饱的！据研究证明，早餐丰盛的人能在7个月的时间里减掉9磅的体重。而晚餐丰盛的人只能减掉大约3磅体重

　　2. Sniffing¹ Peppermint²

　　闻闻薄荷香

　　Peppermint is a fragrant³ herb with a refreshing⁴ scent⁵ that can help you eat less. Sniffing peppermint can greatly reduce hunger. It can also prevent overeating – simply add some peppermint to your dishes.

　　薄荷这种药草能散发清新的香气，有助于降低食欲。闻闻薄荷香气能够非常有效地减少饥饿感，还可以预防暴饮暴食。所以不如在你的餐盘里加上点薄荷叶子吧！

　　3. Junk Mail

　　垃圾邮件

　　Make the best of the junk mail you receive! Every time you get a junk message, do 10 sit-ups or any other work-out you find most effective. It'll help you burn from 30 to 130 calories per session depending on the type of exercise you choose to do.

　　好好利用你收到的垃圾邮件！每次你收到一封垃圾邮件，就做10个仰卧起坐，或者其他你认为最有效的运动项目。这样你每次收到邮件就能消耗掉30-130卡路里的热量，消耗热量大小依你选择的运动项目而定。

　　4. The Color Blue

　　蓝色的器皿

　　Cool colors such as blue, violet and gray suppress appetite. If your kitchen appliances are blue, you will eat about 35% less. You can use blue plates or use blue paint for the walls of the room where you have meals.

　　蓝色、紫色和灰色等冷色系的颜色能抑制食欲。如果你厨房里的设施是蓝色的，你就能减少约35%的食量。你可以选择蓝色的餐盘，或者将餐厅的墙壁粉刷成蓝色。

　　5. Lights On

　　吃饭时打开灯

　　Eat with the lights on – this will help you control yourself and your portions. Turn the music or TV down because noises distract you and you tend to eat more mindlessly. You become less responsible for what food you eat and how much of it you eat.

　　进餐时保持房间明亮，这样做能帮助你控制自己的食欲和你的食量。关掉音乐和电视机，因为音响会分散你的注意力，让你吃饭的时候注意力涣散，这样一来你对自己吃了什么东西、吃了多少就不那么在意了。

　　6. Clean Spaces

　　打扫屋子

　　The area where you have your meals influences your eating habits. If you live in an untidy apartment, you are more likely to eat unhealthy foods and snacks. Make your environment clean and tidy if you want to lose weight faster.

　　你进餐的环境会对你的饮食习惯造成影响。如果你居住的地方又脏又乱，你就会更想吃不健康的食物和零食。所以，如果你想快快减肥，就让自己的屋子整洁起来吧！

　　7. Skip Bread

　　放下面包

　　Bread contains a lot of carbs. If your diet is rich in carbs, you will not lose weight as fast as you would if you excluded them from your menu.

　　面包含有大量的碳水化合物。如果你摄入的碳水化合物很多，你减重的速率就会降低，还是把它从你的菜单上划掉吧！

　　8. Chopsticks

　　用筷子吃饭

　　Use them at home every day and for every meal and type of food. Chopsticks will make you eat a bit slower which will give your stomach enough time to send the signal to the brain that will inform it that you are full.

　　每天吃每餐饭都要用上筷子哟，无论你吃的是什么。用筷子能减慢你吃饭的速度，让你的胃有充分的时间向大脑发送信息，告诉你的大脑你已经有饱腹感了。
