People not being serious about diet and exercise doesn’t mean it doesn’t work. Look at reality tv where there is calorie restriction, like Alone or “Survivor” and everyone loses weight. On the former in particular people have lost like 40 pounds in as many days before and have lost so much weight so fast that medical teams have pulled them from the show.

This is like saying most people barely use 5lb dumbbells when told to work out, so working out must not work. Like, of course major lifestyle changes take willpower!
