Diets won't work for majority of people

The typical diet experience involves rapid weight loss when you start (along with a positive attitude and rush of enthusiasm), followed by rapid weight regain (to your previous weight, or even higher) when you can’t sustain the diet and revert to your old ways.

Prescription medication or even surgery can help some people.

It sounds to me like the diet was incredibly effective.

Nothing will work long term if you only do it consistently for a limited period of time.

I am a trainer and I used to belong to the camp of thinking obesity was a choice. The irony is that i have suffered from obesity. Although ive always been muscular in most of my adult life. I still struggled to lose and keep weight off. I am someone who has always understood energy balance and the importance of protein and weight training during weight loss. And i still struggled. I can't imagine the struggle the general population who knows nothing of those things.

So keto and intermittent fasting worked exceptionally well, and ceasing to do those things reversed their progress. Color me shocked!
