当我们进行饥饿节食来减少我们的卡路里的摄入时，我们不仅破坏肌肉组织，实际上还减小了我们的新陈代谢率。

When we go on a starvation diet to reduce our calorie intake, we not only destroy muscle tissue but also actually slow our metabolic rate.

所以，当你不吃时，你的身体会放缓新陈代谢来阻止你饥饿。

So, when you skip meals, your body slows your metabolism to prevent you from starving.
