【推荐3】Working on weight loss? Then you probably want results-fast.
Let me save you some time: skip the crash diets. Their results don't last. And you have healthier options you can start on-- today!
Diets for Fast Weight Loss
You should eat a diet that minimize starches(淀粉), sugar and animal fat from meat and dairy foods.
Here are some tips:
1. Get tempting foods out of your home.
2. Stay busy-you don't want to eat just because you’re bored.
3. Eat only from a plate, while seated at a table. No grazing in front of the fridge.
4. Don't skip meals.
5. Keeping a food journal-writing down everything you eat-can also help you stay on track.
Exercising for Fast Weight Loss
It's time to move more!
1. Plan to do cardio (有氧运动) and strength training.
Cardio burns the most calories, so it is ideal for fast weight loss, but, afterward you need to include a few hours a week of strength training.
2. Pace yourself.
Don't do too much, too soon -work your way up to help prevent injury. One way to step up the intensity is to do interval training--brief bursts of high-intensity exercise, followed by a more mellow (柔和的) pace.
Crash Diets
Skip any programs that promote detoxification pills (解毒药), laxatives (泻药), or fasting (禁食), and any that promise weight loss faster than two to three pounds per week. The truth is that cutting calories below l,050-1,200 per day is counterproductive, because you need strong muscles to be able to exercise effectively.
Crash diets also set you up for failure by depriving (剥夺) you of what you want. You can't eat like that for long, and it's very likely that you'll rebel and end up back where you started.

You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you, you feel the heavy feeling that all in all, brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.
