减肥从寻找“入门蔬菜”开始

要减肥，富含高纤维和热量低的新鲜蔬菜绝对是饮食好帮手，但对那些只爱碳水化合物的“主食控”和无肉不欢的“食肉动物”来说，提起这些嚼之无味的“杂草”就头大。憋急，先找一种能接受的“入门蔬菜”吃吃看，也许你因此而改变观念也说不定呢。

Gateway vegetable refers to a palatable vegetable that encourages more adventurous vegetable consumption.
“入门蔬菜”是指一种美味可口的蔬菜，吃它能激励人们更大胆地尝试吃其他蔬菜。

Healthy eating and weight loss requires vegetables. There's no way around it. Some of us though would rather fill our plates with meat and bread. If you discover a "gateway vegetable" you'll start eating them more often.
健康饮食和减肥都离不开蔬菜。这是无法回避的事实。虽然有些人，还是愿意用肉和面包把盘子填满。如果你发现一种“入门蔬菜”，就会开始更经常吃菜了。

Experts suggest finding one vegetable to introduce into your diet if you're a vegetable hater.
专家建议，如果你讨厌吃菜，找一种蔬菜引入你的日常饮食中。

Once you find that one vegetable you like, you can branch out from there. It's a way of changing a small eating habit and recognizing that you don't have to stick to your belief that you'll never eat vegetables.
一旦你找到一种你喜欢的蔬菜，从此就可以开始吃很多种蔬菜。这是一种方法，借由改变一种小的饮食习惯，从而发现你不必固守自己永远不吃菜的理念。

Preparation matters too: try grilling them instead of boiling or steaming.
准备工作也很重要：试试烤菜，不要煮或蒸菜。

还等什么，想减肥又不爱吃菜的“主食控”和“食肉动物”赶紧行动起来，从寻找自己的“入门蔬菜”开始吧！
