This is not a diet. It's a simple way to lose weight. And you don't even have to give up the food you love or join a gym (参加体育锻炼). You just follow some habits that thin people have. Keep them, and you'll become thin.
(1) Wake - up
When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands. With legs straight out, bend（弯曲） forward until you feel sore（酸痛） in your back. It will burn about 10 calories.
(2) Start with soup
When you have a meal, order a clear soup, and have it before having the main food. In this way, you'll feel fuller, so you'll eat less when the main food comes.
(3) An apple (or more) a day
Apples are full of fiber（纤维） and water, so your stomach will want less. The study shows that people who eat at least three apples a day lose weight.
(4) Stand up and walk around
Every time you use the mobile phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average (平均) two and a half hours more each day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn 50 0r more calories.
Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.

Which day is the most important for you? Your birthday, the first day of your work or the day you win a prize. Many teenagers may think their birthday is the happiest time because they can receive many wonderful presents and have much fun with their friends. Others may regard the starting day of their work as the most meaningful. They think it's the first big step in their life and they can depend on themselves. They like to deal with challenges rather than to ask for the help of adults.
According to a survey, more than half of the Chinese people, certain ages and birthdays are especially important. One hundred days after a baby's birth has special meaning. On that day, relatives(亲戚) and friends come to bless the baby. In northern part of China, like Inner Mongolia, a child's 12th birthday is a big day. This is when a child becomes a teenager. Eighteen is another important age, which means you must be responsible(负责任的) for what you have done in laws. As for adults, maybe the anniversary of their marriage(结婚周年庆) is the most important.
