Unit 39 Diet on weekdays，splurge on weekends.

Unit 39 平日减重周末大吃

"If I knew I had to be on a diet seven days a week,I'd go nuts,"says Michelle Munoz,a Chicago realtor,“but five days I can handle."

“如果我知道一周七天都得节食，一定会疯掉的，”一位在芝加哥从事房地产中介的米雪儿·慕诺斯如是说，她接着又说:“但节食五天的话，我就还可以忍受。”

Michelle was determined to lose the 30 pounds she had put on over the course of a long winter.Monday through Friday she cut calories drastically by sticking to dressing-free salads,lean meat and steamed vegetables,and by gutting the nix on desserts altogether. Come Saturday and Sunday，however, she allowed herself whatever her stomach desired，from take--out pizza to double-dip Oreos.

米雪儿决心要减去她在漫长的冬天所增加的三十磅体重。周一到周五她都以吃不加酱的沙拉、瘦肉和蒸过的蔬菜，也完全不吃甜点，来减低卡路里。然而，每到周六和周日，她就允许自己大开吃戒，从外送的比萨到Oreo（品牌名)双料巧克力夹心饼干，什么都吃。

"This way I don't feel deprived.”Michelle says."The funny thing is.I really can't eat that much junk after five days of not eating it. .. but I still get to have anything I want."

米雪儿说:“这样我才不会觉得被剥夺了吃的权利，”她接着又说:“奇怪的是，五天不吃那些东西之后，我真的吃不下那么多的垃圾食物了……，但我还是可以吃任何想吃的东西。”

Michelle lost the last of the 30 founds months ago but she occasionally resumes her weekday/weekend routine whenever she finds she’s put on a few pounds.This technique doesn’t work for everyone--some people manage to regain a week’s worth of weight loss over aweekend---but it may very well work for you.

米雪儿几个月前终于减掉了三十磅，但只要她偶尔发现自己胖了几磅，就会重新进行她的平日节食周末大吃的饮食习惯。这种方法不见得对每个人都适用————有些人可能在周末就把平日节食的体重吃回去了————但它也可能对你非常有效。
