It’s not as easy as you’ve thought. 事情没有你想的那么容易。
2. Intermittent fasting was no fad. There are many different forms of intermittent fasting. Some involve eating nothing for 24 hours or longer. Others involve a single, low-calorie meal once a day. But these wouldn't be as easy as I'd originally hoped. I tried both and found it’s hard for me to do any of them on a regular basis.
间歇式断食不是异想天开,而且方法五花八门。有的是至少24小时禁食,有的是每天一顿低热量餐食。但是所有的方法都没有我原先希望的简单。两种方式我都试了,但是发现无论哪一种,要想长期执行,都太困难了。
3. The Fast Diet, which could be named as 5:2 Diet as well, is a modified version based on the various intermittent fasting diets, which is not as brutal as Calorie Restriction and much easier than other intermittent fasting methods. Five days a week, we could eat normally; on the remaining two we would eat a quarter of our usual calorie intake (i. e. 600 calories for man and 500 for woman.) We could split our fasting days according to our daily routine as well. E.g. the co-author of the book, Dr. Michael Mosley chose Monday and Thursday as his fasting days. Further, we could also split our fasting meals on the day as well. Take Michael as an example, he split 600 calorie in two – 250 for breakfast and 350 for supper, effectively fasting for 12 hours at a stretch.
轻断食,亦可以被称为5:2轻断食,是根据各种各样的间歇式断食方法而来的改良版本,它不像热量摄入限制法那么严苛,比其他间歇式断食方法也更简单易行。一周五天,我们可以正常饮食;其他2天则摄取平常的四分之一热量(男性600大卡,女性500大卡)。我们还可以根据自己的日常生活规律把轻断食日也拆分开来,以本书作者为例,他的轻断食日就是周一和周四。除此之外,轻断食日的热量摄入也可拆分成两份,还是以作者为例,他就是250大卡的早餐和350大卡的晚餐,相当于每个轻断食日都能保证一个12小时禁食的时长。
