Be Healthy! Be Slim! Be Beautiful!
Discover the secret for a healthy, slim, and beautiful you!
I love this healthy diet programme because it helps me lose weight, lose inches, feel healthy and look beautiful.
This healthy diet is an 8-week programme which is unlike other diet regimes (养生之道), in that it focuses on proper nutrition first and weight loss second. Your body must have proper levels of minerals, vitamins, and proteins in order to work well. It provides a simple lifestyle change to give you more energy and improve your health most greatly. It offers control over stomach and continuing hunger with a dense diet allowing 1,700 to 2,000 calories a day. If a person has a weight problem, his body probably is not working at proper levels of basic nutrients (营养物). We invite you to follow this programme, so you can be the slim person who lives inside you.

During the experiment, these people were given a 3 of breakfasts, and sometimes, they had to 4 breakfast completely. Special tests, including blood tests and endurance tests, were set up to 5 how well the participants' bodies functioned when they had eaten a 6 kind of breakfast.
The results showed that if a person eats an adequate(足够的) breakfast, he or she will work more efficiently(有效地) and more 7 than if he or she skips breakfast or eats a very poor breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person's work 8 mental activity. The study showed that if 9 eat fruit, eggs, bread, and milk before going to school, they will learn more quickly and will be able to 10 their lessons for a longer period of time than if their breakfast diet is 11 .
The study also showed that, 12 to what many people believe, if you skip breakfast, you will not lose weight, this is because people become so hungry if they skip breakfast that they eat too much for lunch and 13 gaining weight instead of losing.
