The big problem that people run into is when they hit their target weight they “go back to normal” forgetting that “normal” is how they got fat in the first place. They see diets as temporary, it needs to be permanent. Part of my key to having kept weight off is approaching it like a religious conversion, there’s how I used to be and how I am now, I had to spawn a new “normal” that involved less eating and more exercise than the old “normal”.

Which regimen people use won’t really change the long term success since the problem is they tend to leave the regimen the moment they hit target.

Exactly !!! Its not losing the weight it's keeping it off long term that detracts 95% of the people. Look at Oprah and Kirstie Alley how many times they have yo yo'd in weight up and down.
