初阶饮食|第4集：想燃烧你的卡路里？别喝咖啡！

对话一：

W: I don’t know how you can eat so much yet never put on any weight, son. Your father’s got the same luck. I can’t take a bite without calculating how many calories I am taking.

M: But remember Aunt Louise, Mom? She ate a lot and never gained a pound.

对话二：

Enjoying an iced coffee? Better skip dinner or hit the gym afterwards, with a cancer charity warning that some iced coffees contain as many calories as a hot dinner. Health experts advise that the average woman should consume about 2,000 calories a day and a man about 2,500 calories to maintain a healthy weight.

对话三：

Say your goal is to lose weight by dieting and cutting off sweets. But one night you just have to have a cookie and you know there is a bag of your favorites in the cupboard. You want one, you eat two. You say to yourself, “What the hell. I’ll eat the whole bag.”
