All right, we're going to talk about why 95% of people regain the weight that they lose. And we're also going to talk about how to be in the 5%. Who don't? Let's get to it. The 95 comes from after year two? This is after, I think it's after two, it's close to 70% when it gets to five years. Oh, it's five.
Adam Schafer 3:31
Okay, because I know like the first year, a large percentage already gained it back. The second year, I think that gains, I thought it was by the third year, but maybe it's five. Yeah, so- Most all put it back.
Phil Vella 3:42
Well, here's how, okay, this is where it gets really dismal, the data. a small percentage of people actually accomplish what is considered statistically significant weight loss. You guys want to guess what that number is? Five to 10% of their body weight. Yeah, so if you're 300 pounds, 15 to 30 pounds would be considered statistically significant. Most people, I don't know about most, but a good chunk of people, you lose more than that.
