We just had another World Meat Free Day, where many people shunned burgers and bolognese for beans and beluga lentils.
我们又度过了一个“世界无肉日”，很多人都拒绝了汉堡和奶油沙司[沙司是英语Sauce的译音，已为大家熟悉和常用，是一种用蔬菜或水果加调味品制成的流质或半流质酱汁。]，以青豆和白扁豆[白扁豆，一种农作物，可晒干，炒后可食用。]代之。
Reducing your meat consumption is good for the planet, but a new study has confirmed that going veggie can work wonders for your personal health too.
减少肉类消费利于保护地球，而且最新研究还表明吃素食[素食是一种不食肉、家禽、海鲜等动物产品的饮食方式，有时也戒食或不戒食奶制品和蜂蜜。]对个人健康也十分有益。
Following a vegetarian diet is twice as effective than a carnivorous one when it comes to losing weight, researchers from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine in Washington DC found.
美国华盛顿市责任医疗医师委员会的研究者[研究者（Investigator)，是实施临床试验并对临床试验的质量和受试者的安全和权益的负责者。]们发现，坚持吃素食餐减肥[减肥属于以减少人体过度的脂肪、体重为目的的行为方式。]时的效果是吃肉食餐效果的两倍。
And not only will vegetarians lose weight more effectively, they’ll reduce their muscle fat and thus boost their metabolism too.
素食者[素食者一般的定义是指不食用肉类，鱼类，禽类及其副产品的人，素食者根据避免动物制品的程度的不同可分为几种人.]不仅减肥更有效，吃素食还能减少肌肉里的脂肪，从而促进新陈代谢。
According to lead author, Dr. Hana Kahleová, this finding is particularly important for people with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
据首席研究员汉娜·科勒奥娃所说，这一发现对患有代谢综合症和二型糖尿病[糖尿病是一组以高血糖为特征的代谢性疾病。]的人尤为重要。
To reach their conclusions, researchers studied 74 people with type 2 diabetes - they were randomly assigned either a vegetarian diet or a typical anti-diabetic diet, which followed the official recommendations of the European Association for the study of Diabetes (EASD).
为了得出结论，研究者们对74名二型糖尿病患者进行了研究，将参与者[《参与者》是银月紫镜写的网络小说连载于晋江文学城。]随机分到素食组或典型的抗糖尿病的餐食[餐食，是一个汉语词汇，拼音cān shí，释义为饭食。]组，后者的餐食是根据欧洲糖尿病研究协会官方建议制定的。
What’s more, the vegetarian diet was practically vegan, as it consisted of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, grains and legumes, with animal products limited to one portion of low-fat yoghurt a day.
另外，素食组是完全严格的素食**餐食，包括水果、蔬菜、坚果、植物种子、谷物和豆类，动物制品每天只有一定量的低脂酸奶。
In order to assess weight loss potential, all participants had their diets restricted to 500 calories a day less than they would need to maintain their weight.
为了评估减肥潜力，所有参与者都严格遵守每天摄入[中文名称 摄入英文名称 intake...]500卡路里热量[热量指的是由于温差的存在而导致的能量转化过程中所转化的能量。]的餐食，比维持现有体重应摄入的热量低。
After six months, those following the vegetarian diet had lost an average of 6.2kg, compared to 3.2kg for those on the conventional diet.
六个月后，素食组参与者平均减重6.2kg，相比之下，常规抗糖尿病餐食组参与者平均减重3.2kg。
It was a small sample size, but heavily suggests going veggie could make you lose twice as much weight.
虽然实验样本量[样本量是指总体中抽取的样本元素的总个数，应用于统计学、数学、物理学等学科。]小，但是已经足以表明吃素食能让你2倍速减肥。
