I think your view of what percentage of people this works/doesn't work for is majorly out of whack.
Do you think as many weight-loss companies as exist would continue to exist if they were only targeting 5% of the population? The business model works, because people don't lose weight, or can't keep it off.
Also, losing weight is very manageable, but you almost always end up gaining it back (often with additional weight).
