中文翻譯

節(jié)食的風潮總是來來去去，幾乎每個月都會有一種熱門的新式減肥健身法出現(xiàn)。在 2003 年時，艾特金斯飲食法(又稱『艾特金斯食肉減肥法』)廣為流行，幾乎每 10 個美國人中就有一位使用該方法減肥。

艾特金斯博士相信，肥胖之所以成為西方世界的問題是因為人們攝取過多碳水化合物。經(jīng)過多次試驗，他發(fā)現(xiàn)減少碳水化合物的攝取有助于肥胖患者減重并保持健康。艾特金斯博士還宣稱，許多人把美國人肥胖的原因怪罪于高脂肪的食物，但造成肥胖的真正元兇其實是碳水化合物。

有些減肥者后來罹患心臟病，艾特金斯食肉減肥法是否有益健康遂引發(fā)爭議。因食用高脂肪肉類而攝取過多蛋白質最有可能是問題所在。一位減肥者在接受心臟手術后，甚至打算控告艾特金斯博士，他相信自己的癥狀是使用了艾特金斯飲食法所造成的。

正確的飲食習慣莫過于均衡飲食加上每天運動，就這么簡單。富含脂肪和糖類的食物偶爾吃吃就好。水果、蔬菜、魚肉和瘦肉是最佳的食物來源，能供應身體所需的營養(yǎng)，讓我們享有健康的生活。想要避免激進節(jié)食的人應該每天運動，并攝取合理且健康均衡的食物。
