This dieting power is particularly hard to fathom when you consider that nuts pack 160 to 200 calories in each tiny ounce, not even a handful. And most of those calories come from fat. Ounce for ounce, cashews and pecans and walnuts are loaded with more calories than many of the processed foods being blamed for the surge in obesity. In the conventional wisdom, a dieter’s best friends are watery foods like celery and carrot sticks.
当你考虑到每小盎司坚果，还不到一把，却含有 160 到 200 卡路里的热量时，这种节食作用就特别难以理解。而这些卡路里大部分来自脂肪。 按每盎司计算，腰果、山核桃和核桃所含的卡路里比许多被认为是导致肥胖激增的加工食品还要多。在传统观念中，节食者最好的朋友是芹菜和胡萝卜条等含水食物。

One of the country’s leading nutrition scientists, Richard Mattes of Purdue, has been exploring this seeming paradox and has some intriguing, if still uncertain, findings.

Nuts have several big things going for them, Dr. Mattes said. For starters, even a small amount can make you feel full. Scientists call this feeling satiety; it is a busy field in food research and marketing these days, given the way that snacking has become a sort of fourth meal, adding an estimated 580 calories to the average person’s daily consumption.
马特斯博士说，坚果有几大好处。即使是少量也能让你感到饱。科学家称这种感觉为饱腹感； 考虑到零食已成为第四餐，估计为普通人的日常消耗增加了 580 卡路里的热量，这是当今食品研究和营销领域的一个热门领域。
satiety[səˈtaɪəti],n. 满足，饱足.：Most vegetables have a high satiety. 大部分蔬菜都有高度的饱腹感。

Why do nuts appease the appetite so well? Dr. Mattes pointed to several studies.
为什么坚果能很好地满足食欲？马特斯博士指出了几项研究。
appease [əˈpiːz],v. 使平息；使满足.：Or is it simply a move to appease its critics?
或者说此举只是为了平息对它的批评？：It would be fun to appease the appetite of hungry people. 满足饥饿者的胃口会很有趣。
“They’re high in protein, and protein is satiating,” he said. “They’re high in fiber, and fiber is satiating. They’re rich in unsaturated fats, and there is some literature that suggests that has satiety value. They’re crunchy, and that would suggest just the mechanical aspect of chewing generates a satiety signal.”
“它们富含蛋白质，蛋白质让人饱腹，”他说。“它们富含纤维，而且纤维也很饱腹。它们富含不饱和脂肪，并且有一些文献表明它们也能增加饱腹感。 它们嚼起来很脆，咀嚼的过程会释放信号，让人产生饱腹感。”
protein[ˈprəʊtiːn],n. 蛋白质.：You need more protein to build you up. 你需要更多蛋白质以增强体质。
crunchy[ˈkrʌntʃi],adj,脆的[表赞许]..fresh, crunchy vegetables.…鲜脆的蔬菜。
Snacking on nuts makes it likely that you will eat less later in the same day, according to some research. That decrease in consumption can make up for many of the nuts’ calories — as much as three-fourths of them, studies have shown.
根据一些研究，吃坚果会让你在同一天晚些时候吃得更少。 研究表明，食用量的减少可以抵消坚果的一些卡路里——多达四分之三。
decrease[dɪˈkriːs],v. 减少，降低。：Since 1945 air forces have decreased in size.1945年以来，空军的规模已经缩小。
其反义词为increase。
make up for补偿，弥补。：After all the delays, we were anxious to make up for lost time. 耽搁了这么久，我们急着想弥补失去的时间。
Nuts are also resistant to digestion, thanks to the tough walls of their cells. As much as one-fifth of the fat in nuts never gets absorbed by the body, Dr. Mattes estimated in a 2008 paper published by The Journal of Nutrition.
由于坚果的细胞壁坚韧，坚果也耐消化。马特斯博士在 2008 年发表在《营养杂志》上的一篇论文中估计，坚果中多达五分之一的脂肪从未被人体吸收。
digestion[daɪˈdʒestʃən],n. 消化；领悟.: Some of this digestion begins in the mouth.
一些消化就开始于口腔。
其动词形式为digest. 消化；吸收.:All this has upset me. I need time to digest it all.
这一切让我心烦意乱。我需要时间来承受。
Even the fat that the body absorbs from nuts tends to be virtuous. It’s mostly unsaturated fat, with lesser amounts of the saturated type whose excessive consumption has been associated with heart disease.
甚至身体从坚果中吸收的脂肪也往往是良性的。 它主要包含不饱和脂肪和少量饱和脂肪，而饱和脂肪的过量食用容易导致心脏病。
virtuous[ˈvɜːtʃuəs],adj. 善良的；良性的。：The vicious circle is thus transformed into a virtuous circle. 这样，恶性循环就变成了良性循环。
excessive[ɪkˈsesɪv],adj. 过多的，极度的.：The police vigorously denied that excessive force had been used. 警方坚决否认曾过度使用武力。
But even the best foods come with caveats, and nuts have several to consider. Their high fat content generates the powerful allure that food scientists call mouth feel,making it tempting to wolf down a lot of them. Two cups of mixed nuts can pack 1,600 calories.
但即使是最好的食物也有注意事项，坚果也有几个需要考虑。 它们的高脂肪含量导致强大诱惑，食品科学家称之为口感，让人很想狼吞虎咽。 两杯混合坚果可以包含 1,600 卡路里的热量。
caveat[ˈkæviæt],n. 警告。：A caveat here is appropriate. 这里的警告是适当的。
allure[əˈlʊə(r)],n. 诱惑力. v. 吸引；引诱.：It\'s a game that has really lost its allure.
这是一场已经真正失去其魅力的比赛。
mouth feel口感 ：the wine has a good mouth feel。
tempt[tempt],v. 诱惑；引起.：Cars like that may tempt drivers to speed.那样的汽车可能会引诱司机超速行驶。
其形容词形式为tempting吸引人的；诱惑人的。其名词形式为temptation引诱；诱惑物。
wolf down狼吞虎咽地吃。：Parents tell their children not to wolf down their food. 父母告诉他们的孩子不要狼吞虎咽。
其近义词为gulp down 短语 gulp down without thought 囫囵吞枣
