no diet or exercise plan, ever, has been shown in a scientific study to make people lose weight and keep it off for more than five years. While individuals can lose weight and keep it off -- bodies change over time, health conditions change, etc. -- on average, people have setpoint waits which their bodies eventually return to. If you are eating healthily and exercising a reasonable amount, your body will be at the weight it needs to be at, and that is a weight which will almost certainly increase as you age.

my favorite book on the subject right now is Gina Kolata's Re-thinking Thin, an accessible exploration of the science of weight loss.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
