I lost about 30 pounds ten years ago and kept it off until covid. It’s not easy, but it’s possible. You have to commit to changing your relationship with food, you can’t just “diet.”
If you fundamentally change your diet/lifestyle you can keep weight off. Are you saying people who lose weight the recommended and healthy way and have weight come back or people who do that and then revert back to their old habits? Because those are two different things.
Nota study but I was prediabetic and had high cholesterol - I was 122 pounds at my heaviest and after a few health issues was told I need to change my diet. Incorporated more vegetables and cut fast food 5X a week to only once every couple weeks or so and now I’m at 100 (been this way for the past 5+ years since the health scares). I don’t count calories or work out excessively but just going from eating utter trash to healthier made a huge difference

Echoing the above, the issue is that people “go on a diet” to lose weight and then go right back to eating the way they did before after they reach their goal weight. Logically, that’s going to make you gain it right back. There’s a reason so many people here recommend slow and steady lifestyle changes. If you want to maintain a different weight then you have to maintain a different lifestyle. Unfortunately many people start off in a way that’s too restrictive so they’re unable to do so.
I used to be 160lbs at my heaviest. I’ve maintained around 120 for the past six years. If I see the scale going up a bit then I know I’ve gotten to relaxed and readjust my habits. I’ve never even come close to getting back to 160 bc I eat in a completely different way and workout consistently. But it’s taken a long time to make this new weight a routine and perhaps more importantly it took a long time for me to lose it in the first place bc I focused on sustainable changes.
The issue is once people stop they completely stop watching their diet. I’ve heard good things about keto or IF. If you follow one of those 2 forever your fine. But you can’t just let go and not watch. People I know who keep it off, always watch and say ok weekdays I will be good and weekends I’ll eat what I want. When they see they are gaining weight they will start working out and give themselves a 10-+ pound space that they will not cross
I think every major long-term study of keto has shown that it doesn’t produce lasting results. Not sure about IF, but I’d expect the same.
Flexible, well-rounded eating habits are the way to go. Weight Watchers is great for helping to make lifestyle changes.
Small, manageable changes work best, specifically those that you are personally capable of holding on to. They aren’t magical “drop 20lbs in 20 days” or other nonsense but they work. For instance scaling back on empty calories (pop, chips, etc). One thing at a time works better than a whole diet revolution unless that’s something that would come natural to you. The various diet systems are ok but no one system works 100% for everyone because we’re all genetically different. Start small and keep moving :)

I think what happens is people think that “dieting” is temporary. To maintain a good weight, we need to make a lifetime commitment to eating healthy.
Once reaching goal weight, a person might think yay! I can stop dieting. So they slowly return to having a few drinks per week, a small bag of chips with lunch, a large milkshake or rich dessert once per week, a sandwich instead of a salad for lunch, or order a regular instead of skinny latte every morning. Any one of those choices, all else being equal, will lead to a pound of weight gain per month, not to mention the return of carb/sugar addiction. All five of these seemingly small changes could add 1lb of fat per week - or 50 lbs in a year.
Try Noom. It helped me a lot because it gets to the root of why one overeats. It’s psychological. It’s also a lot less complicated than our society makes it out to be. Don’t take in more calories than you burn, and realize that no amount of working out can undo a bad diet. It’s far more important to focus on putting nutritious food in your body that fills you up without weighing you down, and getting the mindset down that you and only you are in control of what goes in your body. I’m personally not a fan of keto because I enjoy toast and the occasional pasta or pizza dish. IF is good for this.
