您的体重代表某种平衡，而热量是这种平衡的一部分。减肥归根结底是要让消耗的热量超过摄入的热量。您可以通过减少摄入食物和饮料中的额外热量以及增加因身体活动所消耗的热量，从而达到减肥的效果。
虽然这看似简单，但要实施一项实用、有效且可持续的减肥计划可能很有挑战。
但您不必独自承受这挑战。您可以向医生、家人和朋友寻求支持。自问现在是不是一个好时机，以及自己是否准备好做一些必要的改变。同时，灵活规划：预见您将如何处理挑战您减肥决心的情况以及不可避免的小挫折。
如果您因体重而出现了严重健康问题，医生可能会建议您进行减肥手术或药物治疗。在这种情况下，医生会与您讨论各种方案的潜在优势与可能的风险。
但是要记住底线：减肥成功的关键在于下决心改变饮食和运动习惯。
