New York Times recently posted this article about weight maintenance and how many people usually regain weight after weight loss:

The article was interesting and didn't mention too much new info, but I do have issue with the fact that they really only mentioned people losing weight on very low-calorie diets (500 cal and 800cal) which I wonder if that has something to do with people regaining weight.
We all know maintenance is more difficult than weight loss, but overall I found the article a bit troubling in that it seems to discourage weight loss by making both weight loss and maintenance seem even more difficult than they are.
I have to give the article props for mentioning that maintainers have to likely eat less and watch their food intake over people who haven't been overweight/obese.
