#2 definitely resonates with me. There are such high expectations nowadays from diets and pills that people just want a “quick fix” which is simply not realistic. I used to watch the TV show The Biggest Loser where contestants would lose at least 5 pounds every week, usually more. One week, there was a woman who only lost 3 pounds, and her team was so disappointed in her. Yet as we can see from this article, even 3 pounds in a week is too much! The healthy- and permanent- method is to lose weight over a longer period of time and keep it off rather than losing a lot very quickly and then gaining it back right away.
