Some people don’t mind being fat . Other people can keep slim (苗条) without any effort . But a lot of people do put on too much weight and don’t like it. The question is , what can they do about it ?

Some believe exercise can be helpful . But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more . You might aweat out (减去) a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain , but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam .

A helpful way is food-choosing . But what sort of food should you choose ? Some believe that the less you eat , the slimmer they will be . They don’t eat anything until they become weak with hunger . Some stick to milk and bananas . You’ll find you will need a lot of bananas , and unless you live where they grow , they are not cheap . Another theory says that if you eat things like hard-boiled eggs , apples with their skins on , and lean meat which are hard for your stomach to digest , the more you eat , the thinner you get . This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food .

For most of us these methods are too extreme . The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrates ; that means not eating bread , potatoes cakes , sugar , rice , and so on and eating anything else you like . It’s straight –forward and often quite effective .

Still others like to be more scientific . They are calorie counters . They get a table which tells them that , for example , 100 grams of roast leg of lamb give you 330 calories and a 50 gram helping of Yorkshire pudding gives you 130 calories .
