　　Go a bit crazy (eating and drinking everything you’ve missed) when you break the diet? Feel weak-willed (and hungry)?

　　当你间断饮食时会有点疯狂（你没吃的没喝的全要补上）？觉得意志薄弱（而且很饿）？

　　专家鉴定：

　　专家鉴定：

　　Eating quickly, thoughtlessly and without adequate chewing gives your poor stomach too much work to do.

　　吃的太快、不讲究而且不充分咀嚼会让你可怜的胃增加工作量的。

　　Larger particles of food can escape through the gut³, making it harder for your body to absorb nutrients⁴, and leading to food sensitivities and bacterial⁵ growth.

　　Over-eat even healthy food in the evenings? Eat in a comatose⁶ state as you try to slow down the pressures of the day?

　　你难过、寂寞、生气或是害怕的时候吃冰淇淋、蛋糕、巧克力或是碳水化合物？

　　专家鉴定：

　　If you are driven by your emotions, your choice of food will cause blood sugar levels to rise then crash, triggering more hunger and a worse mood. Turning to sugary food when you’re down will only make things worse.

　　如果你是靠情绪的驱动吃东西，你对食物的选择会引起血糖升高然后打碎、引起更多的饥饿感，而且心情也会更糟。你不开心的时候吃甜食只会让事情更糟。

Without realising what is going in your mouth, you could be consuming far too much without noticing, making nutritionally poor food choices and missing out on the wealth of enjoyment¹³ that surrounds good, fresh, healthy food.

　　你应该是太忙了，或是分心了，或是真的很喜欢食物。没有意识到嘴巴里咀嚼的是啥，你应该是消耗的远远多于你注意到的，食物选择不营养，而且错过了优质的、新鲜的、健康的食品带来的乐趣。
