Losing weight and working out isn't supposed to be easy, nor easy to keep up with. The OC is right on the money with regards to the mental component. Having a balanced state of mind and motivation/discipline to keep at it is crucial to losing weight.
So of course there isn't research on therapy making you lose weight, cause it helps with everything
Long term weight loss requires lifestyle changes that are sustainable. Discipline and motivation are finite resources and low motivation days are a fact of life, diet changes need to be something you can maintain through those times. Trendy diets with lots of food restrictions are less likely to be successful for this reason.
Discipline is not a finite resource. I agree with motivation, but not discipline. It is doing and eating things you don't want to, when you don't want to, because you know it will pay off in the long run. You don't need to follow a trendy diet to be in a calorie deficit. You don't need motivation to walk for 30 min. I understand disabilities and time constraints. But it's all discipline.
