Ok, in order for people to believe that weight-loss simply doesn't work long-term, we have to provide numerous studies stating that it doesn't, but even then no one will believe it. But in order for people to believe that weight-loss is possible long-term, all you have to do is provide a story about how you or a family member lost the weight and kept it off - so clearly everyone can do it.
I guess my question is - does anyone have anything other than anecdotal evidence (so what I'm looking for is scientific research)that shows a diet/lifestyle change/whatever you want to call it, that has been proven to work in the long-term (key point being, in the long-term)?
You'd think that would be easy enough to find given the "war on obesity", but I haven't yet.
