I shed 60 lbs two years ago and have kept it off. But you are right. It takes a permanent change it eating.

I pretty much removed all high carb staples from my house and learned to cook and eat vegetables. No grains, potatoes or rice based foods are allowed in the house.

Husband mewed a bit a first, but as my cooking skills improved with practice and I experimented with new flavors, he has discovered stuff he likes.

Doc told hubby to lose some weight so we are doing the no carbs no sugar thing. It's not that hard now. Many years ago we did Atkins and it was hard and I got super sick of meat and a vegetable. It sucked. There are a lot more options out there now. I buy carbquick so we didn't have to give up all breads. We had sausage and carbquick pancakes with sugar free syrup for dinner last night. 😜
