参考译文

肥胖人士要减肥的话，必须要密切关注自己的饮食。

最好的方法就是开始一项体重控制计划。

首先，与你的医生讨论这个问题，这是明智之举。

他可以建议每天你应该食用的卡路里的数量，他可以告诉你在节食的时候要注意运动。

一个很好的方法就是慢慢地减肥，一次减少一两磅就很多了。

用你熟悉的食物计划你的三餐。

这就意味着，你的节食计划里应该包括那些你习惯了的、成为你通常饮食习惯一部分的食物。

当你达到你希望的重量时，可以将一些简单的食物添加到你的饮食中，以便你能保持你想要的体重。

当你节食的时候，试着养成一个以后你还能保持的饮食习惯，从而可以维持你的理想体重。

节食时，要食用低卡路里的食物，不要吃如肥肉、油炸食品、糖果、蛋糕、奶油和软饮料之类的东西。

试着喝不带糖和奶油的咖啡或茶。

小点心可以是你食谱的一部分。

例如，可以在正餐之间吃一片水果或者一份饭后剩下的简单的甜点。

保持忙碌!

这样的话你将可以脱离你的食物。

充分利用各种锻炼的机会，只要有可能，就要尽量走路而不是开车。

节食愉快!
