But beyond the hype, and the billions spent on weight-loss products, a revolutionary idea is catching on with researchers: the notion th
27、at no two individuals lose weight the same way. Each person has a hidden key to weight loss. Some people find this key on their own. Steven Wallach, for example, spent most of his 40s gaining weight after an injury sidelined him from exercise. At 47, he was. literally, fed upwith pasta, potatoes and
28、 bagelsand more than 30 pounds overweight. “I didnt look or feel as good as I wanted to,“ admits Wallach. a jeweler in the New York City suburbs. He buckled down to a strict Atlkins diet plan, cut out his beloved starches and within five months dropped 30 pounds. Another five came off when he took u
29、p running. A year later, his weight has stabilized and he considers himself a lifelong convert. “I could eat this way forever,“ he says cheerily as he digs into his scrambled eggs. For Katie White, 27, a San Francisco bookkeeper, the weight-loss process was entirely different. She didnt want to elim
30、inate whole food groups, so decided instead to reduce her portion sizes. She swapped fast food for simple home-cooked meals that shed learned from her mother and grandmother while growing up in Brooklyn. White snacked on fresh fruit and was “religious“ about her daily regimen of sit-ups. She dropped
31、 20 pounds her waya way she could live with and not feel deprived. Its possible that neither Wallach nor White would have succeeded on the others diet plan. They are living proof of what diet experts are coming to believe: One diet does not fit all. Each of us has markedly different indicators that
32、influence how quickly we gain weight, and how hard it will be to lose it. In addition to the basics, such as height and age, scientists now realize our gender, genetics, metabolism, muscle mass, ethnicity, willingness to exercise, lifestyle, attitude and even where we live all come into play. This i
33、dea runs counter to what most diet-book authors or pricey weight-loss centers preach: that their plan is the key to the kingdom of the slim. A custom-fit diet not only makes sense, its also good news for the dieter who couldnt lose weight on this years fad, or who took off pounds quickly and then ga
34、ined them back (and more). That message couldnt come at a more opportune time, as Americans continue their climb toward universal pudginess. Since the 70s, obesity rates have doubled and fully two-thirds of the country is overweight. Even more alarming: The number of fat kids has tripled in the past
35、 30 years. The problem reaches beyond vanity, since diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and some forms of cancer are associated with obesity. The individualized approach to dieting has powerful proof at the Weight Loss Registry, a roster of successful long-term tlieters started 12 years ago
36、 To be included, members must have maintained a 30-pound weight loss for at least a year. At 4,800 members, the Registry isnow the largest collection to date of long-term weight-loss data, says its cofounder James Hill, PhD, director of the Center for Human Nutrition at the University of Colorado H
37、ealth Sciences Center and co-author of The Step Diet Book. The Registrys key finding, he reports, is that “there are a lot of different ways to lose weight.“ The Registry entrants did “low-carb diets, low-fat diets, diets based on the food pyramid, the grapefruit diet, the beer diet . its amazing ho
38、w many different plans worked.“ Even the venerable weight-loss program at the Duke Diet and Fitness Center in Durham, North Carolina, which recently had only a single low-fat, low-salt plan consistent with American Heart Association guidelines, now gives patients choices. “As of last year, we offer
39、a wider range of options, including three different versions of low-carb diets,“ says Howard Eisenson, MD, the centers director. “There has been emerging research showing that some people do very well with those plans.“二、BSECTION B/B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY.
