Chris Niedenthal, a Warsaw-based photographer, has taken to slathering his cheese with butter. When he’s thirsty, sometimes he gulps down a nice tall glass of 30%-fat heavy cream. For breakfast he’ll have all the bacon and eggs he wants—but no toast. What is missing from his diet? Fruits, vegetables and all but 50g of carbohydrates a day. "The best thing, really, is fried pork," he says.
As sure as a yo-yo goes down, then right back up, there will always be new diets. There will always be people willing to offer glowing testimonials to add to the bottom line of the estimated $35 billion—in the U.S. alone—diet industry. Niedenthal says that not only has he lost 12kg in 18 months on his counterintuitive diet regime, "I have much more energy and my complexion has improved." As for his cholesterol levels, well, he hasn’t had them checked yet.
The diet that Niedenthal follows, the "Optimal Nourishment" plan, was developed by a Pole named Jan Kwasniewski, a doctor whose books are sold on street corners. Optimal Nourishment also resembles a version of the extreme low-carbohydrate mania now sweeping the United States; rumor has it that television star Jennifer Aniston owes her new skinny frame to it. Several current best sellers including a new edition of the Diet Revolution by Dr. Robert C. Atkins of the 1970s and a new book called Sugar Busters! by some very clever businessmen and a doctor.
The idea behind Sugar Busters! is that anything that raises insulin levels, such as sugar, potatoes, corn, white rice, bread from refined flour, fresh fruits or milk, is bad for you. This notion originally came from the writings of France’s favorite diet writer, Michel Montignac. The French may have obesity levels of only around 8% (three times lower than Americans), but as their love of anti-cellulite creams reveals, they are not immune from a belief in the miracle cure, and Montignac has benefited handsomely. A former employee of a pharmaceutical firm, he has written 11 books which have sold 9 million copies in 28 countries, espousing the Montignac Method: consume those carbohydrates that reduce the glucose in the blood. "If you’re overweight it’s not that you eat too much but that you don’t eat well," Montignac says. "It’s complete nonsense today to say that in order to lose weight one has to do sports."
But perhaps not as nonsensical as some of the other weird stuff out there. In Britain there’s a new product called "X-Fat" that is derived from shellfish and allegedly keeps fat from being absorbed by the body. Some Germans have taken to drinking cider vinegar neat. And the truly desperate can always munch on Matricur, a sponge that, when swallowed, swells to 18 times its size and fills up the stomach. After about eight hours, the spongy protein ball, made of cow skin, is digested.
Not surprisingly, all of this makes nutrition experts despair. "If those methods worked, there wouldn’t be a billion-dollar diet industry," says Bettye Travis, president of the board of directors of the U.S. National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance. "People would lose their excess weight and that would be it." British dietician Lyndel Costain agrees. "As slimming industry’s profits get bigger," she notes, "so do our waistlines."
Which of the following is mentioned in the third paragraph?
选项
A、The "Optimal Nourishment" plan was forwarded by a bishop.
B、Jennifer Aniston contributes her stature to the Optimal Nourishment.
C、Robert C. Atkins was publisher of a book named Diet Revolution.
D、Jan Kwasniewski is a doctor from Poland.
答案
D
解析
本题题干没有关键词,属于段落定位题,定位于第三段。根据第三段第一句话可知,“最佳营养”计划是由波兰人简.克瓦斯涅夫斯基(a Pole named Jan Kwasniewski)研发的,他是一名医生(a doctor),因此选项D与原文一致,为正确答案。选项A属于无中生有,文中明确指出“最佳营养”计划的提出者是一位医生。选项B属于曲解文意,根据第三段第二句话,电视明星詹妮弗.安妮斯顿(Jennifer Aniston)重获苗条身材得益于该饮食疗法是个传闻(rumor has it that),并不一定是事实。选项C属于偷换概念,根据第三段第三句话,罗伯特.C.阿特金斯(Robert C. Atkins)是《饮食革命》(Diet Revolution)的作者,而不是出版商。
