17、er. French influence on this continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers, decided that the American colonists (殖民者 ) should help pay some

They do not accurately measure the effects of excess body fat on sickness or longevity for the entire pop
30、ulation. Nor do they tell you your healthiest weight.Kate:To reduce, you must combine the three key elements of long-term weight control. First, follow a nutritionally balanced, healthful eating plan. Increase the fiber in your diet and cut your fat intake to 25 to 30 grams per day. If youve selecti
31、ve about the food you choose, you can eat three meals a day and up to three low-fat snacks.One explanation for this quick impact is that you are what you eat. Its not just the pounds of excess body fat that cause all the trouble. Its the high-fat calories that you consume every day to maintain those
32、 extra pounds. As soon as you cut out those additional high-fat calories, youll be healthier and happier. Jean :Heres the tough part. After trimming down, easy-does-it dieters spend at least six months adapting to their new weight. This gives the body time to adjust to the changes it has undergone i

35、who are classified as overweight, about two million should lose 100 or more pounds. These people obviously need to lose more than ten percent of their body weight; they will require medical supervision, rapid weight loss and the use of special portion-controlled foods.In most cases, however, people
36、who are overweight can start an easy-does-it plan. Then, after theyve maintained their new, slimmer bodies for six months, they can consider a second cycle.How do you decide whether youve lost enough weight? Feeling good is the first sign. Health-risk factors are an even better indicator. Before you
37、 go on an easy-does-it weight-loss program, have your doctor measure your cholesterol, body fat and blood pressure. Then check with your physician at the beginning of the six-month maintenance stage. After that, you can move forward on your own.Jone:The easy-does-it diet is not so much a diet as an
38、approach to weight loss and life-style. You dont have to hit a magic number on your scale. You can achieve a healthy weight safely and permanentlyif you just remember:easy does it.Statements61.
