你知道吗？人体除了有生物钟外，还有零食钟。如果能避开零食钟时间进食，将有助于人们减肥。

我们来看一段相关的英文报道

The three worse diet danger zones for vulnerable slimmers have been revealed in a new research.

Those trying to lose weight are at the highest risk of lapsing in their efforts at 11.01am, 3.14pm and 9.31pm - now known as snack o'clock. As many as 750 calories can be consumed in total during these periods - impinging any dieter's chances of shifting the pounds.

Meanwhile, coffee shops have been named as the single biggest danger most likely to cause a dieting lapse. Nutritionists also say dieters should opt out of hot drink rounds at work.

最新研究显示，想要减肥的人需要避开三大进食危险时间。

那些想要减肥的人在每天上午11点01分、下午3点14分和晚间9点31分极易松懈。这三个时间点是人体的零食钟时间，在这期间人们可能会多摄入750卡热量，使减肥的努力前功尽弃。

另外，想节食成功的关键是要尽量躲开咖啡馆这种最能让人减肥失败的因素。营养学家还表示，减肥者工作时尽量不要参加同事的下午茶聚会。
