I've seen pro-bullying stuff for a while, though at comment length rather than a whole post. The guy being replied to is obviously getting off on being offensive, so it's hard to be sure of what he actually believes.
Yup. Dieting in the sense of "a temporary change to fix a problem" doesn't work at all in the long term. Changing your diet to a new, long-term, way of eating can work just fine, so long as it's a sustainable diet you've chosen.
How can people know what's sustainable? It's relatively easy to know what's grossly unsustainable, or it would be if people weren't pervasively lied to about what they ought to be able to sustain, but knowing what's sustainable over the long haul is a harder question.
It's not easy to know, no. Looking at what other people are finding sustainable, doing a bit of reading, etc. would help, but nothing outside of experience is going to give a firm answer.
But just knowing that there's no point doing the kind of diets that last you a month is worth knowing.
