大家好，我是Yuli。欢迎收听我的播客。
今天想和大家聊一聊【减肥】的话题。
说起减肥，我算是个资深的减肥专家了。我从初中开始就开启我的减肥之路，试过各种方法：节食、运动、甚至是吃减肥药。直到这几年，我才开始意识到，不应该盲目减肥。我看回以前的照片，其实一点儿也不胖。按照BMI的标准，我甚至是体重偏轻。我对身材的焦虑都是受外界的声音以及一些扭曲的审美影响。现在我对身体的唯一要求就是健康，再也不把“减肥”两个字挂在嘴边了。
我经常听到身边的朋友说要减肥，不能吃太多，有的甚至晚饭都不吃。那么不吃晚饭真的能瘦吗？我们来听听专家的看法吧。
很多人呢一提起减肥啊都有很多种方法。大家说很简单啊，不就是少吃多动弹嘛，我只要少吃就可以了。单纯不吃晚餐能不能解决问题？初听很简单，说少吃一顿晚餐，那么一定就是能量减少了1/3，时间久了我自然就能够瘦下来。短期内啊，不吃晚饭确实能够减少我们的能量的摄入，但是这样的方法不能够很长久。如果您长期不吃晚饭，就有可能造成代谢率的下降。这个时候身体马上适应性地降低你的基础代谢率，而不能够起到减肥的作用。所以减肥一定是要吃动两平衡，既要适当地少吃，还要坚持积极的身体活动，才能够在保持代谢率的情况下，能够维持减重减脂的效果。
你有减肥的经历吗？留言告诉我吧。我们下期见。

The number of tigers in India more than doubled between 2010 and 2022, according to a new study.

In 2010, there were around 1,700 tigers in the country — but there were almost 3,700 by 2022, the study said.

The study also said that tiger numbers had increased because the animals were better protected from poachers and because their habitats were better protected too.

The researchers added that the amount of contact between humans and animals has been reduced, and the country has made sure that the tigers have enough prey.

The researchers said the results show that, with the right attitude, people can make a difference.

Some people now want the country to spend more time and money on protecting other animals too.

Of all the tigers in the world, 75% are now in India, in an area of about 138,000 square kilometers.

But many of these animals live close to large numbers of people.

The researchers said some communities have benefited from the increased tiger population because it has meant tourists have visited the area to see the animals.

However, tiger attacks on humans do happen, and with India's human population growing, this problem won't go away.

But the researchers said the number of tiger attacks per year is quite small, and many more people are killed by leopards, wild pigs and snakes, and in car accidents.

However, while many have said that the increase in tigers is good news, others are not sure about the accuracy of the data, which was collected by government-supported agencies.
