Horseshit. I literally know multiple people who have lost weight and kept it off.
If you know several people who met the medical definition of obese and have perminantly left that category then you know several outliers, which is entirely possible.
But that is just not representative. Over 99% of obese people do not lose weight. Those few outliers are heavily visible and celebrated so it feels like there must be more.
Yeah, I'm not trusting an article that makes a lot of claims that are contrary to my lived experience and everything else I've ever read but cites nothing.
If 99% of people aren't a thing, then 1% of people are. That's like 80 million people.
