Default erm, is this article TRUE to any extent?

That 4.5 percent sure doesn't sound accurate if people were really sticking
to the program. I have lost 11% in about five months without counting
calories, keeping track of everything I eat or exercising. I had no desire
to pig out on Thanksgiving and don't feel tempted by carby things at all so
I can see myself eating this way for the rest of my life.

The facts are that no weight loss program is ultimately successful at
keeping weight off long term if you go back to bad eating habits.
