Weight Loss question from The Kitchn

Hi everyone— I'm the staff writer at The Kitchn and am reporting on a stat from a small study conducted in 1959 which we believe to be one of the biggest (most persistent) myths in weight loss . "95 to 98 percent of attempts to lose weight fail and that two-thirds of dieters gain back more than they lost."

We have reason to believe that while this stat is widely cited, it is not accurate to the weight loss experience in 2019 in the same way that it was in 1959. I would love to talk with few members of the LoseIt subreddit to find out your thoughts. Has this stat affected you in any way? Are you familiar with it? Is it discouraging? Extra motivation? If you're interested in providing insight for this piece, please reply here!
