第五节 减重计划要执行到底

　　For 17 years,researchers tracked the success of 1,640 overweight patients who attended a weight-loss program at the Municipal Hospital in Copenhagen,Denmark.The program consisted of nutrition classes and weekly counseling sessions.

　　研究人员以十七年的时间追踪了一千六百四十位参加丹麦哥本哈根市立医院减肥计划的过重者的成功案例。这个计划包含了营养课程与每周咨询会议。

　　Some people lost a lot of weight,others a little.Some people kept the weight off, others didn’t. What accounted for their varying degrees of success? Not age nor sex nor the amount of weight they had to lose in the first place.

　　其中有些人减去了许多体重，也有些人则只减去了一点点体重。有些人不再复胖，有些人则又胖了回来。他们减肥成果不同的原因是什么呢?不是因为年龄，也不是因为性别，更不是他们当初必须减去的体重量。

　　The main factor was how regularly they attended nutrition classes and counseling sessions. People who went every week lost weight every week一:and kept it off. Those who attended inconsistently lost weight inconsistently一and had trouble keeping it off. So if you sign up，show up.

　　主要的原因是他们是否按时去上营养课程并参与咨询会议。每星期都上课的人每星期都能减掉重量--一而且不再复胖。上课不规律的人减肥亦就不规律了-一一要想不再复胖也就困难了。因此如果你报了名，就每堂课都去报到吧。
