Besides, I know nobody IRL who's dieted and kept the weight off. There may be such people, but I'm not one of them and I've never actually met one of them.
They pretty much don't exist. The few exceptions tend to be people who refocus their entire lives around food and weight and develop a kind of controlled eating disorder which allows them to starve themselves for the rest of their lives, which is neither mentally nor physically healthy. Dieting is pointless and does nothing but make people miserable. Don't do it.
