eli5:Why do people struggle to keep weight off after losing it?

1.98K views

I love watching weightloss challenges, so I watch people go through these crazy transformations but often times after I hear that the participants will gain a significant portion, if not all, of the weight back. Why is that? Is it diet? Biology?

Because they diet to lose weight. They see it as a process that ends when they get to the goal weight. They would not even need to diet if they adjusted their life style to eat only healthy choices. It would take a long time to see the results they can get from a diet, but the weight would stay off.
