For many people,trying to lose weight means going on a diet,and they usually fail because they can't stand feeling hungry.Losing weight is not a one-time activity,but something you have to plan for a long time.
In other words,don't expect to become"thin"in no time at all.Experts agree that losing weight slowly is healthier than a quick fix.My suggestion is that you should try to lose no more than a couple of pounds a week.
Although this doesn't seem like much,slow weight loss is the only way to avoid"yo-yo dieting (体重忽上忽下)",where you lose a great deal of weight,only to put it back on within a few months or years.There is no shortcut to lose weight; go for slow change toward a healthier life,and think always of the long term (期限).
