People who have more difficulty than most—like me* - in losing weight constitute about 20% of the community. The hard cases are quite rare.
What? What community? My impression is that, if people try to lose weight, the expected result is for them to become more unhealthy due to weight fluctuation. It’s not that they’ll “have difficulty losing weight,” rather their weight will go up and down in a way that harms their health or their expected lifespans. I thought I read statements by Scott—an actual doctor, we think—supporting this. Are you actually disputing the premise? If so, where’d you get the data?
