: In light of the increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity, understanding the experiences, strategies and challenges encountered when trying to achieve substantial, sustainable weight loss is an important area to investigate. We systematically evaluated qualitative studies focusing on the accounts of individuals who have achieved sustained weight loss to create a comprehensive picture of the experience of sustainable weight loss. : Included studies were peer-reviewed studies that qualitatively assessed the views and experiences of adults who previously had or currently have overweight or obesity who successfully lost weight and who subsequently maintained or regained weight. The evidence was systematically synthesized, which enabled the formulation of clear themes and recommendations. : The 15 chosen studies included the accounts of 294 individuals. We found that continuous monitoring and goal setting, driven by sustained motivation and encouraging experiences, while resisting ever present challenges and enduring discouraging experience encapsulates the experience of sustained, substantial weight loss. : This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the experiences, strategies and challenges encountered when trying to achieve substantial, sustained weight loss. Additional research taking into account findings from this review and others of its kind will enhance the formulation of treatment protocols.
鉴于超重和肥胖的发病率不断上升，了解人们在试图实现实质性、可持续减肥时所经历的体验、策略和挑战，是一个值得研究的重要领域。我们系统地评估了专注于已实现持续减肥的个体描述的定性研究，以全面了解可持续减肥的体验。
纳入的研究为同行评议研究，定性评估了先前或目前超重或肥胖、成功减肥且随后保持或体重反弹的成年人的观点和经验。对证据进行了系统综合，从而形成了明确的主题和建议。
这 15 项选定的研究包括 294 名个体的描述。我们发现，持续的动机和鼓励性体验驱动的持续监测和目标设定，同时抵制始终存在的挑战和持久的挫折体验，概括了持续、实质性减肥的体验。
本综述旨在全面了解试图实现实质性、可持续减肥时所经历的体验、策略和挑战。考虑到本综述和其他类似综述的发现的进一步研究，将增强治疗方案的制定。
