In an age of 'fitspiration', it might come as a surprise that new research claims that exercise is in fact what is stopping us shedding those dreaded love handles.

在一個“適合”的時代，新研究聲稱運動實際上是阻止我們擺脫那些可怕的愛情手段，這可能會讓人感到驚訝。 

The survey conducted by the Weightloss and Health Institute asked over 1000 Australians to share whether their exercise and weight loss methods were proving effective. More than half of those who participated admitted that while they exercise, they can't seem to reach their weight loss goals.

Weightloss和Health Institute進行的這項調查詢問了1000多名澳大利亞人，他們分享了他們的運動和減肥方法是否有效。超過一半的參與者承認，當他們運動時，他們似乎無法實現減肥目標。 

The biggest factor the WHI found that was leading to stilted weight loss was the direct link between strenuous exercise (any exercise seen to over exert the body) and the need to 'reward' or 'treat' yourself after your workout.

WHI發現導致體重減輕的最大因素是劇烈運動（任何看到過度運動的運動）與鍛煉后自己“獎勵”或“治療”的需要之間的直接聯系。 

Results also found that those who solely exercised to lose weight would disregard their diet - with 53 per cent admitting they actually eat more after exercising and 41 per cent rewarding themselves with sugary treats after.

結果還發現，那些單獨運動減肥的人會忽視他們的飲食 -  53％的人承認他們實際上在運動后吃得更多，41％的人在吃完后用含糖的食物獎勵。 

Leading Australian weight loss coach Geoff Jowett says this 'reward system' is one of the most common reasons why exercise is leading to weight gain.

領先的澳大利亞減肥教練Geoff Jowett表示，這種“獎勵系統”是運動導致體重增加的最常見原因之一。

'It's been found that statistically if women participate in strenuous exercise they are likely to reward themselves after with something sweet,' says Jowett.

“從統計學上看，如果女性參與劇烈運動，她們可能會在一些甜蜜的東西后獎勵自己，”Jowett說。 

'What happens is they will do a Cross Fit class then go and eat a piece of cake because they think they deserve it. Which means you can become fit and fat at the same time,' he said.

“會發生什么，他們會做一個Cross Fit課程，然后去吃一塊蛋糕，因為他們認為他們應得的。這意味著你可以同時變得健康和肥胖，“他說。
