Because of exactly what the OP was about. A fad diet or exercise program, and not a lifestyle change. It works for a while, people actually have a lot of success with it at times, but then they go right back to old habits. If you talk to someone who has lost weight and kept it off, they will always talk about how different their lifestyle was after losing the weight.
It is often not even about counting calories, hitting your macros or lifting weights. Sometimes people are eating 500+ calories worth of junk food per day on top of their regular meals. Start cutting back on those and it can make a big difference.
In one of our other fitness/weight loss threads, numerous people talked about how they just cut back on sugary drinks, beer, junk food, fast food, etc, etc and they lose weight.
Sometimes the changes needed aren't that radical.
