Because I have had decades to eat a balanced diet and lose weight slowly. That is harder to sustain for a year for me, than having 1500 calories of vegetables juice for 90 days.

Once done, you've broken a lot of habits. If you can stay away from processed snacks and huge carb heavy meals, you keep the weight off.

Losing 35 lbs in 60 days is life changing for most people I think. After that it's easier to maintain a healthy diet imo. Keeping a healthy diet while watching yourself lose 4 lbs a month for a year is a lot harder for people... As we can see from everyone constantly expanding.
