模特教母韩姨说过，减肥是一辈子与食物的斗争。

小翻译在"17 people who lost 100 pounds — or more — share their secret to success（17位减重超过100磅甚至更多的人分享的成功秘诀）"一文中看到了一些相似的观点。

As times change, one thing remains consistent: people want to lose weight. They put their body through fad diets and trendy exercises in the hopes of lowering the number on the scale. And, more often than not, those programs work - but only temporarily. More often than not, people tend to gain the weight back as soon as they return to their old habits.

时间在变，有一件事是始终不变的：人们希望减肥。他们通过节食和运动，希望借此降低体重。通常，这些活动是起作用的，但是只是临时起作用。通常的情况是，只要人们一恢复老的习惯，就会恢复到原来的体重。

But there are the success stories: the people who"ve lost - and kept off - a large percentage of weight. The key to their success is making lifestyle changes instead of depending on a trendy diet or exercise. Whether motivated by a favorite piece of clothing or a health scare, these people put in the work to lose weight. And their transformations are incredible.

但是也有许多成功的例子：他们成功减掉了很多重量，并且保持住了。他们成功的经验就是改变生活方式并不是依靠节食或者运动。无论是出于一件漂亮衣服的激励，还是来自于健康问题的恐惧，这些人将减肥当做事业来做。而他们的变化都是惊人的。

我们常说“管住嘴，迈开腿”，很多人会说，这很辛苦，没有一件事是容易的。也会说，我试过确实有效，但是容易反弹。

实际上，并非方法本身的问题，而是如果不能彻底地改变不好的生活习惯，譬如饥一顿饱一顿、熬夜、抽烟、酗酒、喜欢高热量的食物、懒等等，靠节食甚至是禁食或者高强度运动减掉的fat（脂肪、肥肉），很快便会重新回到身上，甚至会带来更多的“伙伴”。
