第5章 Is Higher SPF better (2)

那大学生应该穿什么样的衣服呢?下面是一些实用的流行小贴士:

穿舒适的衣服

也许你可以忍受为了时尚而牺牲一下自己的舒适度,这无可厚非。但总有一天,比如在期末考试期间或者在和男朋友分手后,你会发现自己迫切需要舒适的衣服,所以务必在衣橱里备几件舒适的服装。你可以考虑T恤、毛衣和修身牛仔裤等。

穿轻便的鞋子

如果你不想遭罪的话,这可是一件必需品。女孩子们,请千万不要穿着高跟鞋在大学校园里走来走去。这里不是《欲望都市》——这里是大学校园,你是要在这里不停走动的。把高跟鞋留到周末穿吧。

穿容易保养的衣服

在大学生活中,时间就是一切。那些需要手洗和熨烫的衣物,通通不要穿。

穿适合时节的衣服

请你记住,你会经常在校园里走动,所以如果学校很冷的话,一定要穿厚实的外套、围巾、手套和防水靴。尽量穿保暖的衣物,即便这会使你的形象打点折扣。如果你心仪的那个人喜欢你穿的少一点,那么这个人绝对不值得你为之付出。

不要穿暴露的衣服去上课

性感的衣服还是留在周末穿吧,上课还是穿得比较正式点好。如果穿迷你裙,就搭件宽松的毛衣吧。

备些易于穿脱的衣服

你需要从寒冷的校园步入温暖的教室,也需要从温暖的室内切换到寒冷的户外。

第一章 Tips to Improve Your Figure

塑身小秘方,让瘦身更有趣

In a perfect world, the only thing that you would need to do to reach your fitness goals would be work out occasionally. Unfortunately, the only way to truly get the body and level of health that you want is through the combination of diet and exercise.

If there is anything I have learned through my years as a personal trainer is that dieting right is the number one obstacle people face while trying to get fit. But filling your plate with healthy food doesn’t have to be a miserable experience.

Here are the best strategies I have found to keep people in shape.

Give Yourself Some Flexibility — If you box yourself into too strict of a diet, you are setting yourself up for failure. It’s true that for most people if you want to lose weight, it is going to have to involve cutting back a bit on how much you eat, but if you allow yourself nothing but rice cakes and unbuttered wheat toast, you turn yourself into a ticking time bomb that will go off onto the nearest piece of cheesecake. Expect that you are going to indulge a little every now and then, and accept it.

Make Your Foods Easy to Make—I’ve discovered that most people eat junk food because it’s just so darn convenient. Microwaveable pizzas take three minutes to make, and there is a fast food joint on every corner who can give you a greasy pre heated burger in a matter of seconds. The only real way to counteract this is by making your healthy food just as convenient as unhealthy food.

For example, you might keep some whole grain tortillas in your cupboard so that you can make a quick and easy burrito with lean chicken or beans. You might also keep some frozen vegetables in your freezer, because they can be heated fairly quickly and be ready to eat. You may also consider buying lots of canned soups, because they take little time to prepare and are often very low in calories.

Find Ways to Combat Stress — Whenever someone has a relapse in their diet, it is usually during a particularly stressful time in their life. Maybe dealing with a toddler has kept them awake for much of a few nights or their new job is giving them a lot to worry about. This is when people start binging on French fries and ice cream. But if you want to conserve your waistline, you need to find other ways to combat stress.

The best way to deal with this by recognizing times when you might be getting stressed and react too it. If you find the pressure building up, find some time for yourself to do something that you really enjoy. Just half an hour of“me time”can make your diet go along a lot more smoothly.

Cut Out the Liquid Calories — If it has calories and comes in a liquid form, try to limit your intake of it. The reason is that stuff like soda, alcohol, and milk can add a bunch of calories to your daily diet, but they never make you feel full. So you feel hungry even as you consume far more calories than you need. Focus mostly on whole foods and use tea or water to satisfy your thirst.
