The festive break is fast becoming a distant memory and for many, New Year fitness regimes are too.
新年假期會很快成為遙遠的回憶，而對很多人來說，新年的減肥計劃也會很快被拋之腦后。
Despite 2.6m people starting diets on New Year's Day, research suggests that by the end of the week 92 percent of dieters gave up, shunning exercise and gorging on comfort food.
調查顯示，盡管英國有260萬人在新年第一天開始減肥，但在當周結束時，已有92%的節食減肥者放棄，不再運動，而且開始大吃大喝。
Findings, released by weightloss firm XLS-Medical, suggest that the vast majority are unsuccessful at sticking to their diets for more than five days a week.
英國減重中心XLS-Medical發布的這項調查結果表明，大多數人都無法在制定節食減肥計劃的一周內堅持五天。
Two out of 10 dieters admitted they have their first diet relapse just four to five days in, with hunger cited as the main cause.
五分之一的節食減肥者承認自己在四五天的時間里就堅持不住了，他們提到的主要原因是饑餓。

Dr Matt Capehorn, Clinical Director of the National Obesity Forum, highlighted that just one day off from dieting can undo a week's worth of hard work.
英國國家肥胖論壇臨床主任馬特•凱派恩博士強調指出，僅僅一天不節食就會毀掉一周的努力。
He told Female First: 'A healthy diet, aimed at losing 1lb per week, relies on saving 3500 calories a week by having 500 calories less each day.
他告訴Female First雜志說：“健康的瘦身是一星期減去1磅，有賴于一周減少3500卡路里攝取，而一天減少500卡路里的攝取即可。”
"A day off the diet should mean that you eat the correct amount, but many dieters see it as an excuse to binge and have thousands of calories more than they need."
“免節食一天應該意味著你攝入正確的食量，而很多節食者把這看作大吃大喝的借口，吃進的卡路里數量比需要的多出好幾千。”
The results suggest that a massive 590,000 could already have failed to stick to New Year diet resolutions.
調查結果顯示，有多達59萬人可能已經放棄了新年減肥計劃。
And a vast majority are unaware of the negative impact a single day off can have on their weight loss efforts.

總的來說，僅有5%的女性能堅持到最后，直到實現瘦身目標。
