To become lighter in body mass, often through diet or exercise.
文化背景
Weight loss is a massive industry. New Year's Resolutions often focus on 'losing weight,' leading to crowded gyms in January. The 'Metabo Law' requires companies to measure the waistlines of employees aged 40-74. Losing weight is seen as a social responsibility. The NHS (National Health Service) frequently runs campaigns to help the public lose weight to reduce the burden on hospitals. While weight loss is common, the French culture emphasizes 'balanced eating' and 'pleasure' over the strict 'dieting' culture found in the US.
