[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe the studies that show very few people can sustain weight loss, but I don't think it's for any physiological reason. I'm hypothesizing that the reason is because people who are inclined to let themselves gain a great deal of weight have personality qualities (e.g., lack of self-discipline, tendency toward emotional eating) that prevent them from losing weight sustainably. For those who've seen the literature, has this been disproven?[/quote]

What you say is valid and the other factor that comes into play is that most significant weight loss is done through what I will call fads. It involves making drastic changes like giving up carbs or going paleo or relying on shakes, etc. It is not sustainable and sooner or later it falls apart and then all of those harmful eating habits come back into play and people gain back all the weight they lost plus more.

I speak from experience since I have gone through all of these fads at various times. The only thing that works and is sustainable is to be able to eat everything but to emphasize the healthy foods, exercise portion control, recognize that calories in vs out matters, exercise, strength train and it will work over time and will be sustainable.[/quote]
