I didn’t mean to say tha nobody maintains weight loss. There is the National Weight Control Registry that keeps track of many who do.

However, it has been shown that many people start re-gaining the weight they have lost even while still dieting. Their bodies compensate for the decreased intake and become more “thrifty”. It is a defense left over from when people endured frequent famines. Our bodies have their own ideas about what we ought to weigh. Low or high.

I understand the whole plateau thing when the body goes into “famine mode” .... but one can make their metabolism more efficient by exercising more.
