Sorry there was some confusion. By long term I meant 3-10 year follow ups. Weight loss from diet/exercise will definitely persist for a year or even a couple. Also specifically about exercise your study says "[Weight] did not change in the exercise without weight loss [group]"

  > Sorry there was some confusion. By long term I meant 3-10 year follow ups. That only happens if the patient relapses into his previous unhealthy lifestyle. You can't simply follow a poor high calory diet and a sedentary lifestyle and still expect zero consequences from your actions. If your problem is behavioral then you fix it by fixing the problems in your behavior.
