Maybe the regain has nothing to do with emotional eating or bad food choices?

So people who can't maintain their weight loss after eating just Protein and veggies, as much as they want, all have psychological problems? That's what you are saying.

No it is not what I am saying. What a ridiculous statement to make. Im saying if you want to lose weight but you feel like you cant sustain a diet that is enriching your body with all the calories, Vitamins and minerals your body wants, soley because you cant resist eating foods that you know will cause you to gain weight if eaten regularly and in excess, but you do it anyway, thats phycological, not physical, you arent physically hungry or starving, its in your head.
Its the inability to resist which is a psychological issue which you can work on.

they simply do not feel good doing this

Because? What? they're starving? What is the pressure that makes them not able to do it anymore? How is it not sustainable? Are they low on energy?

If you are saying they dont feel good because they crave high calorie foods too often and want to give in to temptations often enough that it causes weight gain then that is psychological and can be changed with persistance its like an addiction

I was very specific about what I am talking about. Im not saying anyone who gains weight for any reason has a psychological issue. Im saying a very specific behaviour is a phycological issue.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
