每個人身邊總會有個食極唔肥嘅朋友，個個都話鬼咁羨慕，其實佢地要面對增磅困難嘅煩惱都好辛苦架！想增磅千其唔好狂食高卡路里食物，好似煎炸食物、快餐同汽水咁，呢類食物係絕對無助健康增磅既！大家應該多食嘅係高能量食物，而唔係大家高卡路里食物。想增磅但又好快飽？最好嘅方法係少食多餐。除左正常三餐之外，可以食多啲高蛋白質既零食，例如堅果同雞蛋。最重要嘅原則係，每日進食嘅能量要多過消耗嘅，能量有進有出，多吸收嘅先會轉化成為肌肉。大家可以參考以下嘅高能量食物：

減磅原則係消耗嘅能量比進食嘅能量多，所以第一步可以從減少攝取能量入手，但咁樣絕對唔係叫大家捱餓！其實，只要延長每餐進食時間，慢慢咀嚼同吞嚥，咁樣大腦就會有時間發出「飽肚信號」，從而減少因為狼吞虎嚥而唔知飽，導致過量進食。
Whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or athletic performance, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) will help you achieve your goals. HIIT is a form of interval training, a cardiovascular exercise strategy alternating short periods of intense anaerobic exercise with less intense recovery periods, until too exhausted to continue. The work-to-rest ratio can vary from 1:1 (for example, 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off) to 1:4 or more, and the rounds can be just a few or 15 or more.
至於減磅最重要嘅一環，當然就係運動啦！其實網上有好多教授減磅運動嘅短片，可以針對最想減嘅部位每日運動，就算冇時間到戶外運動都可以喺屋企跟住做。近年好興一種HIIT嘅減磅運動，即係高強度間歇訓練。呢種訓練係短時間高耗能嘅訓練，適合生活忙碌嘅朋友。如果大家想配合器材運動，例如啞鈴、健身球同健身輪，可以去Carousell揀下有咩岩！
HIIT workouts provide improved athletic capacity and condition as well as improved glucose metabolism. Certain sets may require sports equipment such as dumbbells, an exercise ball, or an ab wheel.
其實，無論減磅增磅都係冇捷徑嘅，每人嘅身體狀況都唔同，新陳代謝速度亦唔一樣。大家記住要量力而為，健康為上！
Everyone has different dietary preferences and different ideas of their perfect body. It all boils down to have a balanced lifestyle and healthy mindset. Carousell hereby wishes all of you the best of luck; have a nice summer and stay healthy!
