中文翻译
节食的风潮总是来来去去，几乎每个月都会有一种热门的新式减肥健身法出现。在 2003 年时，艾特金斯饮食法（又称『艾特金斯食肉减肥法』）广为流行，几乎每 10 个美国人中就有一位使用该方法减肥。
艾特金斯博士相信，肥胖之所以成为西方世界的问题是因为人们摄取过多碳水化合物。经过多次试验，他发现减少碳水化合物的摄取有助于肥胖患者减重并保持健康。艾特金斯博士还宣称，许多人把美国人肥胖的原因怪罪于高脂肪的食物，但造成肥胖的真正元凶其实是碳水化合物。
有些减肥者后来罹患心脏病，艾特金斯食肉减肥法是否有益健康遂引发争议。因食用高脂肪肉类而摄取过多蛋白质最有可能是问题所在。一位减肥者在接受心脏手术后，甚至打算控告艾特金斯博士，他相信自己的症状是使用了艾特金斯饮食法所造成的。
正确的饮食习惯莫过于均衡饮食加上每天运动，就这么简单。富含脂肪和糖类的食物偶尔吃吃就好。水果、蔬菜、鱼肉和瘦肉是最佳的食物来源，能供应身体所需的营养，让我们享有健康的生活。想要避免激进节食的人应该每天运动，并摄取合理且健康均衡的食物。
