Main Body
Some habits make you eat too much. If you do not sleep, you want sugar and bread. If you do not drink water, you feel hungry. Also, too much exercise can make you very hungry.
有些習慣會讓你吃太多。如果你睡眠不足，會想吃糖類和麵包。如果你不喝水，會感覺飢餓。此外，過度運動也會讓你非常飢餓。
Eating protein and fiber is important. These foods make you feel full. If you do not eat them, you eat more food than you need.
攝取蛋白質和纖維很重要。這些食物能讓你感到飽足。如果你不吃這些，你會吃下超過需求的食物。
Do not only look at the number on the scale. You must keep your muscle. Muscle helps your body burn energy. If you lose muscle, you feel tired and can get sick with diabetes.
不要只看體重計上的數字。你必須保留肌肉。肌肉有助於身體燃燒能量。如果你流失肌肉，會感到疲倦，並可能患上糖尿病。
To keep muscle, you need three things. You must lift weights, eat protein, and sleep well.
為了保留肌肉，你需要三件事：必須重量訓練、攝取蛋白質以及充足的睡眠。
Conclusion
Do not just try to lose weight. Sleep more, drink water, and keep your muscles to be healthy.
不要只嘗試減重。多睡眠、多喝水並保留肌肉以維持健康。
