> the best results in studies only show something like a 20% loss after more than a year

The health benefits of losing that amount are enormous. In fact, they may get ~80% of the health benefits of a healthy fat percentage. Their blood pressure will plummet, their salt intake will drop, they’ll eat less sugar but more lean protein (it’s common to crave it). Because of this their blood work will improve and they’ll be at significantly lower risk of diabetes and heart disease etc. Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the waaaay better!
