瘦身然並卵！是減肥yo yo圈在作怪
People who pile on the pounds very rarely lose them again, British researchers have found.
英國研究者發現，很多人肥了幾斤，但幾乎沒人能把這幾斤肉減掉。
Just one in every 210 obese men and one in 124 obese women actually manage to achieve a healthy body weight, according to a decade-long study.
一項歷時十年的研究證明，在210名超重男性中只有一人，在124名超重女性中只有1人能減到健康體重。
The findings are a stark warning of the lasting consequences of putting on weight, experts said tonight.
這項研究對人們敲響了警鐘，警告人們增重會有持續性的不良影響。
The team tracked the fluctuating weight of nearly 280,000 British men and women between 2004 and 2014. The results suggest that even when someone does manage to shed weight, they are very unlikely to keep it off.
2004年-2014年，研究團隊對將近28萬英國男女在的體重變化進行了追蹤記錄。研究結果顯示，即使有人成功減掉了幾斤肉，他們卻很難繼續減下去。
A third of the patients they tracked displayed yo-yo weight cycles, losing the pounds only to put them back on again.
這些被訪者中有1/3陷入了溜溜球式的體重增減循環，減掉幾斤肉之後又會重新反彈。
For those people who achieved a 5 per cent weight loss, 53 per cent regained this weight within two years and 78 percent had regained the weight within five years.
受訪者中有一部分人減掉了5%的體重，其中53%的人會在2年之內恢復原來的體重，78%的人會在5年內恢復原來的體重。
These findings highlight how difficult it is for people with obesity to achieve and maintain even small amounts of weight loss.
這些研究結果突出表明，肥胖人羣想要成功減肥並保持減肥效果——哪怕只是小小几斤體重——都是非常困難的事情。
Priority needs to be placed on preventing weight gain in the first place. Current strategies to tackle obesity, which mainly focus on cutting calories and boosting physical activity, are failing to help the majority of obese patients to shed weight and maintain that weight loss.
人們應該首先把注意力放在預防增重上。現有的應對肥胖的策略是以減少熱量攝取和增加運動量爲中心的，這些減肥方式並不能有效的幫助大衆有效減肥並保持減肥效果。
There are examples, therefore, of women shedding stones because they are getting married and fear disgrace when walking up the aisle.
有些情況是，女性在準備結婚時，爲了避免走在紅毯上爲自己的肥肉自卑，減掉了不少肥肉。
The likelihood is, however that once hitched they will put their weight back on.
可是，婚後她們很可能又恢復原來的體重。
A multi-million dieting business exists due to obese people yo-yoing from one diet to another in the hope that such-and-such a regimen will do the trick.
數以百萬的減肥項目之所以能保持市場份額，就是因爲那些經歷着溜溜球式的體重循環的肥胖人羣，從一種減肥產品換到另一種減肥產品，期待着這種或那種減肥產品會有效果。
