I read the 2/1000 participants lost weight and kept it off on Weight watchers post you cited. It seems highly inaccurate. It considers within 5lbs of target weight as not successful as we cannot know if they were within 5lbs to begin with. But the studies cite 20% with most not being heavier than when they started. You can't join Weight Watchers unless you have 5lbs to lose or more. Probably 90+% of people on diets fail but if 10% can be saved from surgery that really helps. If we've reached the point that we can't stop ourselves from eating outside of changing our digestive system we have a problem. The rise of sedentary jobs along with giant portion sizes is to blame. Not some fundamental condition with human beings.
