"we should try whatever helps us take off weight and keep it off"
Agree, and, the biggest challenge (as you and most people know) is to keep the weight off.
For it to work, long term, it's best (essential, I would say) to get your body to want to keep a lower body weight (fat), i.e., to reset it's weight setpoint (adipostat) to a lower (lean) level.
Wholly agree. Keeping the weight off is constantly rolling a boulder up a hill. Perhaps getting more brown fat in our bodies would make the hill less steep.
