一項研究指出,節食會讓你感覺悲慘,而且會增大你患抑郁癥的風險。研究人員發現,那些成功瘦身的人感覺悲傷、寂寞和消沉的幾率比體重保持不變或變胖的人大一倍。90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
廣告上總是宣揚節食者變瘦后人生會大有改觀。然而在成功瘦身后,節食者卻發現除了體重減輕外,生活并沒有變好。90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
而且,節食本身就是很困難的過程,不但需要相當大的意志力,而且為了減肥許多節食者不再下館子吃大餐,從而失去了人生的一大樂趣,這也導致節食者情緒低落。 90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司

It's easy to assume that when you finally lose those excess pounds, life will change for the better.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
But dieting can in fact make you miserable and more at risk of depression, a study claims.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Researchers found that losing weight didn’t make people happy. Instead, those who successfully slimmed down were almost twice as likely to feel sad, lonely and lethargic than those who stayed the same weight or got fatter.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
The large-scale research, at University College London, found that the advertising industry tells dieters their lives will be transformed when they are thinner.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
They then feel disappointed when they discover little has changed other than their weight.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
In addition, dieting itself can be difficult, which in turn can cause people to feel down.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
The findings come from a study of almost 2,000 overweight and obese men and women aged 50 and over.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
They were weighed at the start of the study and answered questions about how often they felt sad, lonely and listless.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Four years later, some 14 percent of the volunteers had lost at least 5 percent of their body weight – an amount known to improve health.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Tests showed their blood pressure and levels of harmful blood fats had dropped, however their mood was also lower.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Those who had lost weight were 78 percent more likely to have symptoms of depression than those who hadn’t.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
And importantly, the link could not be explained away by participants’ having fallen ill or suffered a bereavement or divorce during the intervening years, the journal PLOS ONE reported.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Researcher Sarah Jackson said: ‘We do not want to discourage anyone from trying to lose weight, which has tremendous physical benefits, but people should not expect weight loss to instantly improve all aspects of life.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
‘Aspirational advertising by diet brands may give people unrealistic expectations about weight loss.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
‘They often promise instant life improvements, which may not be borne out in reality for many people. People should be realistic about weight loss and be prepared for the challenges.’90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
The difficulties of sticking to a diet may also have a negative effect on mood, the researchers found.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Dr Jackson said: ‘We can speculate that the experience of restricting food intake and resisting temptations is bound to be hard, despite the undoubted satisfaction of seeing the inches go down and getting fitter.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
‘Dieting requires considerable willpower and it might involve missing out on special meals and eating in restaurants. It is not necessarily the most pleasant experience for people.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
‘Lots of people want to lose weight thinking it will fix all their problems. But while it will go some way towards fixing their health, it won’t necessarily make them happier in the short-term.’90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
She added that it is possible that slimmers are happier eventually, especially if they feel a sense of achievement from reaching their target weight and maintaining it.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Other possible reasons for the study’s findings include volunteers already having depression and that being a cause of the weight loss, or a stressful event such as losing a job leading to poor appetite.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
The researchers said that whatever the reason, with 60 percent of overweight Britons trying to lose excess pounds, it is important that doctors and dieters are aware of the link with depression.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Dr Jackson said: 'Be aware of changes in mood and seek help if you need it. Don’t feel it is something you need to struggle with alone.’90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
Cary Cooper, professor of organisational psychology and health at Lancaster University, agreed that dieters often believe their life will change when their weight does.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
He said: ‘Everything stays the same. The other things in life that troubled them are still there and that makes them depressed.90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
‘Don’t expect dieting to solve all the problems in your life. But it will make you fitter and healthier.’90j遼陽翻譯公司-忠信樂譯翻譯有限公司
