I see this claim bandied about all the time but I haven't seen any long term usage weight loss data.

Essentially no weight loss is permanent unless you maintain your weight for 2-3 years. Your fat cells never go away, merely shrink, and you only lose about 10% per year (which are replaced with new cells).

You have to maintain it for a long time to keep it up and see any changes.
