Not to suggest anything about your personal experience, but note that in general pretty much anyone can follow pretty much any diet for two months and lose weight if they try. The seriously hard bit - and the way you know you've found the right diet for you - is if you can follow it for the third month (and then all the months thereafter). Two months is roughly the upper limit for the "any diet will work for anyone" effect.

Well said. My take from research: structures from a CBT-based approach are really helpful and should be more widespread - but for most people are not sufficient in staying at a healthier weight long-term.
