A listener has written from China foradvice about how to lose weight. Michael in Shanghai says he is 26 and hasfought against obesity (过度肥胖) for most of his life.

Obesity , a severe weight problem, is acomplex (复杂的)condition. A doctor may advise taking medicine along with changing one’s theway that he or she behaves. Experts say that the most successful weight—lossplans include a well-balanced diet and exercise.

People who want to avoid weight gain haveto balance the number of calories they eat with the number of calories theyuse. To lose weight, you can reduce the number of calories you absorb (吸收), increase the number youuse, or both.

A recent study looked at four of the mostpopular dieting plans in the US. Researchers at Stanford University inCalifornia studied over 300 overweight women, mostly in their thirties andforties. Each woman went on one of the four plans: Atkins, The Zone, Ornish orLEARN. The women attended diet classes and received written information aboutthe food plans.

At the end of the year, the women on theAtkins diet had lost the most, more than four and one-half kilograms onaverage. They also did better on tests for cholesterol levels and bloodpressure.

Christopher Gardner, who led the study,says the Atkins diet may be more successful because of its simple message toeat less sugar. He also says that the advice to increase protein in the dietleads to more satisfying meals. He says that there was not enough money tostudy men, but that men would probably have similar results.

Last week, another report based onthirty-one studies suggested that only a small number of people have long-termsuccess with dieting. Most dieters regained (重新获得) their lost weight within five years and oftenthey become more overweight ( 超重的). But those who kept the weight off generally were the ones whoexercised.
