翻译考试：生活中健康的饮食习惯（4）

Retrain your palate. 来自www.Examw.com
反复训练你的味蕾

As any 5-year-old or picky eater can attest, familiarity is a powerful driver of dietary preference. But taste buds are malleable and can be taught to appreciate new and subtler flavors. When you swap processed, high-fat, sodium-packed, and oversweetened food for healthier fare, it can take one to two weeks before your taste buds acclimate. Don't expect to love new flavors right away (and certainly don't expect your kids to). Just keep serving the new dishes, and soon neither you nor your palate will recall what all the fuss was about.
任何一个5岁的小孩和挑食者都可以证明，饮食偏好主要是因为对某种食物的熟悉。但是味蕾具有可塑性，可以学会接受新的微妙的口味。当你从高脂肪高钠和高糖的食物转变为较为健康的饮食时，你的味蕾可能需要一两个礼拜才能适应。不要指望立马就能爱上新的口味（也不要指望你的孩子能）。继续吃对你来说新的菜肴，很快你和你味蕾都会忘了刚开始的不习惯。

Stop eating before you feel full.
吃饱之前就停止进食

Slow the pace of your meals. Pay attention to what you're eating. And call it quits when you're about 80 percent full. After a pause, you'll likely find that "mostly full" is full enough. Studies indicate that simply by eating at a leisurely pace, you could drop up to 20 pounds a year.
放慢吃饭速度，注意看看你在吃什么。吃到8分饱时就不要再吃了。过一会儿你就会发现，“8分饱” 就足够了。研究表明，只要放慢进食速度，你每年就能减下20磅的体重。
