The drop-off pattern
Why most plans die at week six.
80%
of diet-app users disengage within the first 6 weeks of signup.
3.5x
higher dropout in streak-based apps after a missed day.
95%
of dieters regain the lost weight within 5 years of finishing a program.
Motivation drops, the early loss slows, and willpower runs out. The plan was never built to outlast a bad Tuesday.
