New York(Reuters)--Foods that fill you up without packing a ton of calories can help in the battle of obesity(肥胖),results of a new study suggest.
In the study,obese women who reduced the “energy density” of their diet by cutting their intake of fats and adding more fruits and vegetables lost more weight over a 12-month period,and felt less hungry,than those who simply reduced their fat intake.
“Adding low calorie-dense foods into the diet is an effective way of lowering calories and reducing hunger when you are trying to lose weight,” Dr Julia A Ello-Martin said.
One of the reasons people don't stick to a weight-loss diet is hunger.Ello-Martin and her colleagues guessed that a diet that controls hunger by encouraging dieters-to fill up on low energy-density foods may improve adherence(坚持),as well as increase weight loss.
For the study,97 obese women were randomly assigned to a group that was advised to decrease their intake of fats or one that was told to decrease their fat intake and increase low energy-density foods,particularly fruits arid: vegetables.Twelve months later,weight had come off the women in both groups.The women in the fruit and vegetable group,however,lost 7.9kg,in comparison to 6.4kg among the others.
The women in the fruit and vegetable group also experienced less hunger than tile women who only reduced their fat intake,study findings show.
Although the study' lasted only one year,Ello-Martin guesses the dieters may be able to keep their weight loss and dietary changes over a longer period
“They are getting to eat foods that are helping them not feel hungry,” she said.“What's more,the study didn't have that hideous approach of having to count calories even day.”

The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages (also called SMS2) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called texting.
A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it’s common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,”“u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud.” Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”
Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”)
Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always evolve, and this is just another way for English to change. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.

In modern society, receiving systematic college education seems a necessary way for success as a graduate from first-class university may always get more opportunities than others. However, if it is gold, it will shine one day. In this article, we will get to know three most successful people in U.S. who never finished their college education. Following experiences of these successful dropouts may give you some inspiration.
1. Bill Gates
Harvard’s campus paper “Harvard Crimson” called Bill Gates “Harvard’s most successful dropout,” while the rest of the world preferred to name him “the world’s richest man” for more than a decade. Now, even not on the top, he is still among the list of the world’s wealthiest people.Gates entered Harvard in the fall of 1973. Two years later, he dropped out to found Microsoft with friend Paul Allen. And in 2007, he finally received an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
2. Steve Jobs
The iPad, even Buzz Lightyear probably wouldn’t have existed if Steve Jobs stayed in school. Because his family couldn’t afford his college education, Jobs had to drop out of Reed College just after entering for 6 months. Then he found Apple, NeXT Computer and Pixar, which had made great influences on development of modern technique and culture. However, this wizard thought that his brief college education was not worthless.
3. Frank Lloyd Wright
As the America’s most celebrated architect, Wright spent more time on designing colleges rather than attending classes in them.

Wright’ s splendid resume included more than 500 works, most famous of which are Fallingwater and New York City's Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum.
