瘦身然并卵！是减肥yo yo圈在作怪
People who pile on the pounds very rarely lose them again, British researchers have found.
英国研究者发现，很多人肥了几斤，但几乎没人能把这几斤肉减掉。
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.
一项历时十年的研究证明，在210名超重男性中只有一人，在124名超重女性中只有1人能减到健康体重。
The findings are a stark warning of the lasting consequences of putting on weight, experts said tonight.
这项研究对人们敲响了警钟，警告人们增重会有持续性的不良影响。
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，研究团队对将近28万英国男女在的体重变化进行了追踪记录。研究结果显示，即使有人成功减掉了几斤肉，他们却很难继续减下去。
A third of the patients they tracked displayed yo-yo weight cycles, losing the pounds only to put them back on again.
这些被访者中有1/3陷入了溜溜球式的体重增减循环，减掉几斤肉之后又会重新反弹。
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.
受访者中有一部分人减掉了5%的体重，其中53%的人会在2年之内恢复原来的体重，78%的人会在5年内恢复原来的体重。
These findings highlight how difficult it is for people with obesity to achieve and maintain even small amounts of weight loss.
这些研究结果突出表明，肥胖人群想要成功减肥并保持减肥效果——哪怕只是小小几斤体重——都是非常困难的事情。
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.
人们应该首先把注意力放在预防增重上。现有的应对肥胖的策略是以减少热量摄取和增加运动量为中心的，这些减肥方式并不能有效的帮助大众有效减肥并保持减肥效果。
There are examples, therefore, of women shedding stones because they are getting married and fear disgrace when walking up the aisle.
有些情况是，女性在准备结婚时，为了避免走在红毯上为自己的肥肉自卑，减掉了不少肥肉。
The likelihood is, however that once hitched they will put their weight back on.
可是，婚后她们很可能又恢复原来的体重。
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.
数以百万的减肥项目之所以能保持市场份额，就是因为那些经历着溜溜球式的体重循环的肥胖人群，从一种减肥产品换到另一种减肥产品，期待着这种或那种减肥产品会有效果。
