You probably know that hundreds of different fad diets, weight-loss programs and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss. But the foundation of every successful weight-loss program still remains a healthy, low-calorie diet combined with exercise. You must make permanent changes in your lifestyle and health habits to lose significant weight and keep it off.

    How do you make those permanent changes? Follow these six strategies.

    1. Make a commitment

    Permanent weight loss takes time and effort. It requires focus and a lifelong commitment. Make sure that you're ready to make permanent changes and that you do so for the right reasons.

    No one else can make you lose weight. In fact, external pressure - often from people closest to you - may make matters worse. You must undertake diet and exercise changes to please yourself.

    As you're planning new weight-related lifestyle changes, try to resolve any other problems in your life. It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to change your habits. So make sure you aren't distracted by other major life issues, such as marital or financial problems. Timing is key to success. Ask yourself if you're ready to take on the challenges of serious weight loss.

    2. Get emotional support

    Only you can help yourself lose weight by taking responsibility for your own behavior. But that doesn't mean that you have to do everything alone. Seek support when needed from your partner, family and friends.

    Pick people who you know want only the best for you and who will encourage you. Ideally, find people who will listen to your concerns and feelings, spend time exercising with you, and share the priority you've placed on developing a healthier lifestyle.

    3. Set a realistic goal

    When you're considering what to expect from your new eating and exercise plan, be realistic. Healthy weight loss occurs slowly and steadily. Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds （0.5 to 1 kilogram） a week. To do this, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a low-calorie diet and regular exercise.

    Make your goals "process goals," such as exercising regularly, rather than "outcome goals," such as losing 50 pounds （23 kilograms）. Changing your process - your habits - is the key to weight loss. Make sure that your process goals are realistic, specific and measurable, for example, you'll walk for 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

    4. Enjoy healthier foods

    Adopting a new eating style that promotes weight loss must include lowering your total calorie intake. But decreasing calories need not mean giving up taste, satisfaction or even ease of meal preparation. One way you can lower your calorie intake is by eating more plant-based foods - fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Strive for variety to help you achieve your goals without giving up taste or nutrition.

    5. Get active, stay active

    Dieting alone can help you lose weight. Cutting 500 calories from your daily diet can help you lose about a pound a week: 3,500 calories equals 1 pound （0.5 kilogram） of fat. But add a 45- to 60-minute brisk walk four days a week, and you can double your rate of weight loss.

    The goal of exercise for weight loss is to burn more calories, although exercise offers many other benefits as well. How many calories you burn depends on the frequency, duration and intensity of your activities. One of the best ways to lose body fat is through steady aerobic exercise - such as walking - for more than 30 minutes most days of the week.

    Even though regularly scheduled aerobic exercise is best for losing fat, any extra movement helps burn calories. Lifestyle activities may be easier to fit into your day. Think about ways you can increase your physical activity throughout the day. For example, make several trips up and down stairs instead of using the elevator, or park at the far end of the lot.

    6. Change your lifestyle

    It's not enough to eat healthy foods and exercise for only a few weeks or even several months. You have to include these behaviors in your lifestyle. To do that, you have to change the behaviors that helped make you overweight in the first place. Lifestyle changes start with taking an honest look at your eating habits and daily routine.

    After assessing your personal challenges to weight loss, try working out a strategy to gradually change habits and attitudes that have sabotaged your past efforts. Simply admitting your own challenges won't get you past them entirely. But it helps in planning how you'll deal with them and whether you're going to succeed in losing weight once and for all.

    You likely will have an occasional setback. But instead of giving up entirely, simply start fresh the next day. Remember that you're planning to change your life. It won't happen all at once, but stick to your healthy lifestyle and the results will be worth it.

    你需要如何做出這些改變呢？請遵循以下六個方法。

    1.做一個承諾

    永(yong)久(jiu)的(de)減(jian)肥(fei)需(xu)要(yao)時(shi)間(jian)和(he)努(nu)力(li)，這(zhe)要(yao)求(qiu)你(ni)必(bi)須(xu)投(tou)入(ru)且(qie)做(zuo)出(chu)一(yi)生(sheng)的(de)承(cheng)諾(nuo)。現(xian)在(zai)，確(que)定(ding)你(ni)已(yi)經(jing)準(zhun)備(bei)好(hao)要(yao)做(zuo)出(chu)這(zhe)樣(yang)永(yong)久(jiu)的(de)改(gai)變(bian)而(er)且(qie)你(ni)是(shi)為(wei)了(le)一(yi)個(ge)正(zheng)確(que)的(de)原(yuan)因(yin)才(cai)這(zhe)樣(yang)做(zuo)的(de)。

    別人不能幫你減肥，事實上
，外部壓力--常常來自與你親近的人--可能會把事情弄得更糟。你必須自己來開始對飲食和鍛煉做出改變。

    3.設定一個實際可行的目標

    在你想象你依照你新的飲食方式和鍛煉計劃所能達到的效果時
，請實際一點
，健康的減肥是緩慢且穩定的發生的。要達到一周減掉1到2磅（0.5到1公斤）的效果，你需要通過低卡路裏的飲食和規律的鍛煉，除去你每天的正常消耗外，再燃燒掉500到1000卡路裏。

    把你的目標定為過程目標，比如經常運動，而不是結果目標，例如減去50磅（23公斤）.改變你的過程--你的生活習慣--就是你減肥的關鍵。確保你的過程目標是實際可行的，具體的和可測的，舉個例子
，每周五天
，每天三十分鍾的步行。

    4 .享受健康食物

    采(cai)用(yong)一(yi)種(zhong)新(xin)的(de)
，有(you)助(zhu)減(jian)肥(fei)的(de)飲(yin)食(shi)方(fang)式(shi)必(bi)須(xu)包(bao)括(kuo)降(jiang)低(di)你(ni)的(de)卡(ka)路(lu)裏(li)總(zong)攝(she)入(ru)量(liang)。但(dan)是(shi)減(jian)少(shao)卡(ka)路(lu)裏(li)並(bing)不(bu)意(yi)味(wei)著(zhe)要(yao)放(fang)棄(qi)美(mei)味(wei)，滿(man)意(yi)度(du)或(huo)者(zhe)簡(jian)單(dan)的(de)烹(peng)調(tiao)方(fang)法(fa)。一(yi)種(zhong)可(ke)以(yi)降(jiang)低(di)你(ni)卡(ka)路(lu)裏(li)攝(she)入(ru)量(liang)的(de)方(fang)法(fa)是(shi)吃(chi)更(geng)多(duo)的(de)種(zhong)植(zhi)出(chu)的(de)植(zhi)物(wu)--水果，蔬菜和所有的穀物。努力嚐試更多的食物種類來幫你在達到你的目標的同時，又不用放棄美味或者營養。

    5.積極主動，保持活力

    單靠節食可以幫你減肥。從你每日的飲食中減少500卡路裏可以幫助你每周減掉一磅的體重：3500卡路裏等於1磅（0.5公斤）的肥肉。但是配合一周四天
，每天45到60分鍾的散步可以使你的減肥谘詢翻倍。
