Long-term weight loss studies are surprisingly rare. Most studies are either short-term, especially if they're funded to support some sort of diet drug. But the few I've found show as little as 2% success depending on age, sex, and other factors.
I suppose too, many feeders will often know how to make sure you practically never lose weight. For instance, I see fattening as simultaneously a physical, mental, and lifestyle transformation. Anyone can overeat a few nights, but I think the full feederism experience is about letting a feedee throw off inhibition and insecurity and enjoy life to the fullest. It involves changes in
- hobbies e.g. Netflix instead of gym time
- vacations e.g. cruises instead of hikes
- friendships e.g. unlikely to be joining your workout partners
- clothing e.g. sweatpants instead of jeans
- and even mindset e.g. take things more slowly, quit the rat race
A talented feeder puts their feedee on long-term auto-pilot. Or even without a feeder, a solo feedee might make the above changes.
Good luck going back on all that!
