4 . You may think that choosing to lose weight requires a lot of effort and pain.

The truth is, you can lose weight, feel healthier, and look amazing, all by doing small things every day.     1    . When you’re ready to lose a few pounds, check out these five small everyday things you can do.

    2    

Believe it or not, the diameter of your dinner plate can have a dramatic impact on how much food you eat at any time of the day. The bigger your plate, the more you can fit on it, and the more you put into your body.

Use a Food Diary or App

It’s so easy to sit at your desk or on the couch eating up an entire bag of potato chips or a full packet of cookies.     3    , you may decide to change your mind. If you keep a food diary or app outlining what you eat, how much of it, and how many calories it has, you may be more inclined to control your food intake.

Drink More Water

All too often, we mistake thirst for hunger.     4    , and you may be reading the signs all wrong. Keep a water bottle on hand, drinking water throughout the day. By doing so, you can control your appetite while also making sure your body is not lack of water.

Exercise More

It seems like a given-you exercise, you lose weight. However, it’s not only those 10-mile runs that make all the difference.     5    . For instance, park further away at the grocery store, take the steps instead of the elevator and jog on the spot during TV ad breaks of your favorite show.

A．Use Smaller Dishes

B．Control your food intake

C．You have to make plans for exercise

D．Your body needs more water than you’re probably giving it

E．Many small changes can make a significant difference

F．Exercise doesn’t have to be something you have to think about to do, and it can be fun

G．However, if you knew how many calories were in them

5 . 语篇填空

Most heavy teens’ attempts    1    (lose) weight don’t work, but a new study shows a big secret of those who do succeed. 

They do it more    2     their own sake rather than to impress their peers or please their parents. 

“Most parents have the view that their teens are    3    (large) influenced by other people’s perceptions of them,” said Chad Jensen,    4     psychologist at Brigham Young University. “Our    5    (finding) suggest that teens have motivations that are more intrinsic. One implication is    6     parents should help to focus their teens on healthy behaviours in order to keep healthy more than for social acceptance.”

Jensen and his students at BYU looked in depth at the success stories of 40 formerly obese or overweight teens. On average the participants dropped 30 pounds,    7    (move) them from the obese to the normal weight category. They also maintained their healthier weight for a full year. More than 60 percent     8    (describe) their health as the primary motive. About 43 percent identified peer acceptance as a factor. 

In another interview, nearly all of the teens emphasised that it was their own     9    (decide) to lose weight. According to teens, parents provided the most help simply by modeling healthier behaviours and providing     10    (healthy) options for meals and snacks.

7 . The key to losing weight is to understand what really motivates you. Have you ever been excited about losing a few pounds?     1     And to help you keep your weight under control, you need some coping strategies.

Ask questions. When you’re researching different dieting products and plans or even talking to a doctor about diets, ask as many questions as you can.     2     Ask questions like: Do I have to purchase special meals or supplements? Does the programme include a part to help me maintain my weight loss?

Get real.     3     Don’t burden yourself with unrealistic expectations. Remember, large amounts of weight loss are not realistic and are most likely not safe or healthy. Talk with your health care professional to determine a healthy weight goal.

    4     To maintain your weight, you must keep a balance between your intake of calories and the energy you burn. Just 30 minutes of fast walking in most days can take about 10 pounds off your weight each year.

Weigh yourself weekly. It’s important to track your weight on any diet or weight loss plan, but don’t step on the scales every day. Weighing daily won’t show you the big picture.     5    

A．Stay balanced.

B．Once a week is fine.

C．Stick with your healthy eating plan.

D．Losing one to two pounds a week is a realistic goal.

E．Being well-informed will help you choose the best diet for yourself.

F．Regular weight checks will show you your progress over time.

G．If so, you must find a way to turn excitement into determination.

8 . A high school class has a wellness book in which they exchange ideas about health and fitness. Read what Kayla wrote and answer the questions.

GOING POSITIVE

I always wanted to look like the slim girls on TV even though I knew that it was impossible. I worried about my weight and tried every new diet I read about online. I tried no-fat, low-fat, 5:2, only bananas, no bananas — I almost went bananas, too.

Then I read an article that said instead of asking “Am I fat?” I should be asking “Am I fit?” I had no idea a letter could make such a difference! Once I started thinking about fitness rather than weight, things began to change. Instead of saying “I want to lose three kilos”, I would say “I want to run two kilometres in eight minutes” or “I want to be able to do 30 push-ups”. Rather than cutting out the foods I enjoyed, I added healthy foods to my meals. I could still have a burger now and then, but I would add a salad or an apple.

Finally, I stopped comparing myself with actresses and models and looking for things that were wrong with my face or body. Instead, I made a list of the things I liked about myself. By being positive about myself and my body, I became both happier and healthier.
