They 'Reccomend ' that doesn't mean that it's right for everyone.

One pound a week is what they say is the right rate of weight loss

It's *a* safe rate, that's not or hasn't been disputed but it certainly isn't a universally right rate of weight loss. You may have life enhancing or saving surgery requiring being under a certain weight to lose or may have any number of other circumstances affecting what may be - the right - and safe rate for your individual requirements, 1lb a week may not be the required rate for all.

And as for whether people weigh more after transformational weight loss - yes I would say I would be shocked to find the one that doesn't (although they can exist). In that you have to count numbers of people who weigh more than the end of the transformation but their body composition is fair better than previously; also include consideration that should someone be losing a transformational amount of weight they won't have done it by halves and the end weight will likely be them at their slenderest of norms.
