有的人为了减肥干脆不吃饭，其实这个方法是错误的，因为它会让人没有力气，还可能引起别的问题。Yǒude rén wèile jiǎnféi gāncuì bù chī fàn, qíshí zhège fāngfǎ shì cuòwù de, yīnwèi tā huì ràng rén méiyǒu lìqi, hái kěnéng yǐnqǐ bié de wèntí.

Nowadays many young people are very busy with work. They often skip breakfast, eat whatever at lunch, and then eat a lot at night.

Habits like these are very bad for your health.

Doctors advise eating three meals a day on time: eat well at breakfast, eat your fill at lunch, and eat less at dinner.

In addition, we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables, drink fewer soft drinks, and eat less food that is too salty or too sweet.

Some people simply stop eating in order to lose weight. In fact this is wrong, because it leaves you without energy and may cause other problems.

So, only by eating on time and exercising regularly can you have a healthy body.
