這些跡象表明你正在悄悄長胖
1. You travel for work or school
1. 坐着上下班/上下學
Are you one of those people who sit for your commute? Find yourself going on dozens of business trips to far-off destinations? Traveling throws off the natural balance of your body. Plus, the stress raises cortisol levels. This is especially true if you are commuting to school or work behind the wheel for about an hour each way. All that time sitting is not doing anything for your mood, health, or gut.
上下班的路上，你是不是一直坐着？總是去非常遠的地方出差？不斷奔波會打破身體的自然平衡。此外，壓力會提高皮質醇水平。對於上下班/上下學通勤需要一小時的你來說，情況更是如此。一直坐着無益於你的情緒、健康或腸道。
2. You are in college
2. 你在讀大學
Ah, the infamous "Freshman 15." While most students report gaining only a little weight during their Freshman year (about 1.1 kg in the first 3 months), college students do indeed pack on the pounds more easily than high schoolers and those who have graduated.
呵，"新生增重15磅"的現象臭名遠揚。雖然大多數學生稱自己大一的時候只會增重一點點（前三個月大約增重1.1千克），但大學生的確比高中生以及畢業生更容易增重。
Women especially have it hard in college, because you are doing a lot of sitting, studying, partying, drinking, and eating. Pair that with dormitory housing where you probably do not sleep and cafeteria food, and you have a recipe to gain weight faster.
大學時期，女性長胖的機率更高，因爲很多時候她們都是坐着、學習、聚會、喝酒和吃飯。再加上食堂的伙食以及宿舍睡眠時間少，你更容易短期內增重。
3. You are dehydrated
3. 脫水
Water is your friend. You can't live without it, and denying yourself water can lead to bloat, consuming more calories, and increase your chance of weight gain. Ditch soda, sweetened beverages, and stick to H20 or water-based beverages like unsweetened tea and coffee.
水是你的朋友。沒有水你就會活不下去。不喝水會導致身材臃腫、攝入更多的卡路里，增加人們長胖的機率。不要再喝蘇打水和加糖飲料了，堅持喝水或用水做的飲料吧，比如不加糖的茶和咖啡。
4. You are a drinker
4. 你喜歡喝酒
Alcohol does not come cheap for neither wallet nor calorie allowance. If you find yourself knocking back beers, cocktails, and other party drinks, you can expect to see more fat accumulating on your belly than someone who drinks in moderation or not at all. For example, 5 ounces of red wine is 125 calories.
喝酒既傷財又增卡。如果你發現自己總是倒啤酒、雞尾酒或其它派對酒飲，那相比適度飲酒或不喝酒的人而言，你的腹部會積聚更多的脂肪。比如，5盎司的紅酒含有125卡。
5. You do not eat often
5. 你經常不吃東西
Dietitians cringe when they hear people saying that they skip meals. While intermittent fasting is fine and has health benefits, forgetting to eat or missing out of meals throughout the day will result in weight maintenance issues in your later years.
聽到別人談及自己不吃飯的時候，營養師會感到難堪。雖然間歇性禁食的確能帶來健康益處，但一天中忘記吃飯或不吃飯將導致往後的日子裏難以維持體重。
Having a consistent eating schedule keeps your blood sugar stable, which is key in maintaining a healthy weight. Therefore, try to eat throughout the day to keep your metabolism working efficiently and your body healthy.
穩定的飲食計劃可保持血糖穩定，這對於保持健康的體重而言至關重要。因此，儘量全天候的吃些東西，以保持新陳代謝有效運作、促進身體健康。
