You have been probably been very busy over the last year maintaining a very healthy lifestyle(which is awesome).

So what the studies say of everyone who starts a diet some will successfully lose a significant amount of weight. And of those success stories every single study that's followed them for 5-10 years shows that almost everyone regains almost all the weight.

The most famous of these studies was "The Biggest Loser". But are others, but they all show the same effect.

I've tried finding a study that showed sustained long term weight loss through diet, and there aren't any.
