What’s the best way to lose weight? To diet? No. Most people who diet may regain the lost weight when they go back to their old eating habits.
When people change their habits to new, healthy behavior, weight loss may be successful.
Here are 5 ways to make that happen.
1.Exercise. Exercise burns calories and builds muscles (肌肉). Taking the family dog for a walk, cycling to school, and doing other things can be helpful.
2.Reduce screen time. One reason people get less exercise these days is because of an increase in “screen time”. They spend too much time watching TV or playing computer games. Limiting (限制) your screen time to less than 2 hours a day may be suitable. It can make you eat fewer snacks.
3.Drink healthily. Another reason in weight gain is that more people drink some unhealthy drinks that can make you get fat. So choose to drink water or low-fat milk.
4.Eat 5 servings (一份食物) of fruit and vegetables a day. Fruit and vegetables have fewer calories than many other foods. And when you eat more fruit and vegetables, you won’t overeat.
5.Have breakfast. Breakfast brings you energy to do more during the day. People who don’t have breakfast often feel so hungry that they eat more later on.

Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones (时区), one hour apart (一个时区相差一小时). You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.
If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean (大西洋), your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back, traveling east you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours.
If you travel by ship across the Pacific (太平洋), you cross the international date line (国际日期变更线). By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow.
