The Challenge of Long-Term Weight Loss

While dieting can lead to initial weight loss, adherence to diets poses significant challenges for most individuals. Research indicates that over 90% of people who lose weight on a diet regain it within three years, highlighting the difficulty of maintaining long-term results. However, individuals with a BMI over 30 can experience substantial health benefits from weight loss alone, regardless of the specific diet followed. This suggests that while finding the right diet is important, the act of losing weight itself plays a crucial role in improving health outcomes.
