生活双语：告别垃圾食品学做营养美味中国菜.docxVIP

There is something ofa misconception that all the good things in life are bad for us while all thebad things are too good to resist long term. 人们有种误解，好像良药总是苦口，什么东西越是让人喜欢，就越是有害。 Dieters meals inparticular are renowned for being insipid and bland, so we tend to eat them fora while then indulge in sugar and fat- laden treats. 减肥餐就是这样一个典型，大家总是认为减肥食品肯定寡淡无味，所以往往吃不了几天，就又回到大糖大油狂嚼的生活中了……But food that is good for you does not have to be dull and tasteless if you follow the advice ofLorraineClissold in Why the Chinese Dont Count Calories– in fact, the diet that she discovered after 10 years of living and working inChina is so tasty and satisfying that it puts an end to cravings for junk food. 不过，对你身体有好处事物也不一定就那么难吃。洛林·克里索德是一位在中国生活并工作了10年的作者，在其著作《中国人为什么不计算卡路里》一书中，洛林列举了健康美味的中国菜，足以让你从此告别对垃圾食品的渴望。 It is the use of five flavours that makes the real Chinese diet so delicious and nourishing.

The most difficult to find isbitter (which is why most medicines are bitter) but Chinese people drink plentyof green tea as for their bitter fix, especially in the summer when it isparticularly important to eat bitter foods. 如何在饮食中包含这五味呢？其实没有你想象的那么难。其中苦味是最难得的（这也就是为什么大多数药物都是苦的），而中国人常饮绿茶，夏天饮茶尤多，此时吃“苦”尤
