研究发现盲目节食减肥可能会毁了心脏

研究报告的第一作者、牛津大学核磁共振中心临床研究员珍妮弗·雷纳博士指出：“在过去的几年里，“崩溃饮食法”，也被称为饮食替代方案，已经变得越来越流行。”

"These diets have a very low calorie content of 600 to 800 kcal per day and can be effective for losing weight, reducing blood pressure, and reversing diabetes. But the effects on the heart have not been studied until now."

“这种饮食法每天摄入的热量非常低，仅为600-800卡路里，虽然的确可以有效控制体重、降低血压、减轻糖尿病症状，但是它对心脏的影响却一直被忽略。”

Recent research found that two thirds of Britons are on a diet most of the time, but there are 800,000 people living with heart failure and nearly two million living with chronic angina.

最近一项调查表明，多达2/3的英国人都在长期节食，其中80万人患有心力衰竭症状，另有近200万人患有慢性心绞痛。

The research was carried out on 21 obese volunteers, of an average age of 52 and BMI of 37. Participants consumed a very low calorie diet of 600 to 800 kcal per day for eight weeks.

这项研究是针对21名肥胖志愿者进行的，他们平均年龄为52岁，身体质量指数为37。这些志愿者每天摄入的热量为600至800卡路里，持续8周。

After one week, total body fat, visceral fat and liver fat had all significantly fallen by an average of 6 per cent, 11 per cent, and 42 per cent, respectively, accompanied by significant improvements in insulin resistance, fasting total cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose and blood pressure.
