"40% of people who lose weight keep it off in the long term" r/MaintenancePhase considers this proof that diets don't work

They probably just crash diet and then go back to their old habits + never exercising

"See! Statistics say it doesn't work! So don't try!"

Verily, the Fit shall slay the Fats in the streets. They shall hide behind trees and the tree will say, 'Chad! There is a Fat hiding behind me, come and kill him!'

If you lost weight, then the diet worked. If you stop dieting and get fat again, you can't blame the diet.

60% of people are lazy bastards

In other news, 100% of people on that sub are fat r-slurs.

This thread is even better than what you're saying.

One of the fatties who the sub is about (it's about a podcast justifying being fat) wrote a book and the OP was questioning the dodgy use of statistics in the book.

All the comments are recognizing that yeah the fatty lied, but umm like she had good intentions or something.

40% actually seems pretty good. I figured people would have far less willpower to not start shoveling sugar down their gullets.
