    Nope, you read that correctly. There is no current proven nonsurgical method for people to lose and keep off significant weight long term. The meta study I linked had to minimize the amount lost and the timespan to get positive results. Citations to the contrary are welcome. Anything aside from citations is not.

    Bonus article: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10541056/

    From the abstract:

    Over the past three decades, researchers have found that biopsychosocial factors determine weight gain much more than personal choices and responsibility.

      You’re on a community for discussion–not a scientific community. And you come across as very arrogant and rude, so I’m not interested in engaging further with you regardless of the community or content.

        A question about myths that’s just people reciting myths without backing them up is a recipe for lots of BS. Saying science has no place in dispelling myths seems like a weird take, but if it is, I’m glad you don’t want to engage. Bye!
