Unit 39 Diet on weekdays，splurge on weekends.

Unit 39 平日減重周末大吃

"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節食，一定會瘋掉的，”一位在芝加哥從事房地產中介的米雪兒·慕諾斯如是說，她接著又說:“但節食五天的話，我就還可以忍受。”

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.

米雪兒決心要減去她在漫長的冬天所增加的三十磅體重。周一到周五她都以吃不加醬的沙拉、瘦肉和蒸過的蔬菜，也完全不吃甜點，來減低卡路里。然而，每到周六和周日，她就允許自己大開吃戒，從外送的比薩到Oreo（品牌名)雙料巧克力夾心餅干，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."

米雪兒說:“這樣我才不會覺得被剝奪了吃的權利，”她接著又說:“奇怪的是，五天不吃那些東西之后，我真的吃不下那么多的垃圾食物了……，但我還是可以吃任何想吃的東西。”

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.

米雪兒幾個月前終于減掉了三十磅，但只要她偶爾發現自己胖了幾磅，就會重新進行她的平日節食周末大吃的飲食習慣。這種方法不見得對每個人都適用————有些人可能在周末就把平日節食的體重吃回去了————但它也可能對你非常有效。
