Not only that, but the phrasing of the sentence implies that once the
people lost certain amount of weight, they resumed their old eating
habits, and regained the weight. If the old eating habits are what put
the weight on them in the first place, it doesn't take a rocket scientist
to figure out that resuming those same old habits is going to put the
weight back on..

Absolutely. Not only that, the very notion of "being on a diet" implies
that it's something you'll do for a while to achieve a goal, then stop
doing it. That's why it's far better to never diet, but instead change
your eating habits to something you can stay with permanently. I
constantly have people see what I eat and ask if I'm "on a diet". I
always have to answer "No, this is just how I eat all the time."
