The body barely converts carbs into body fat, thus the fat you eat is pretty much the fat you wear. You can eat mostly fat and still have a calorie deficiency, sure. And you can go for a keto diet (but please not too long and with a doctor/nutritionist supervising you).
Without any portion restrictions, calorie counting or exercise, the best diet for loosing weight is... a whole plant food diet.

- cies 9y agoHmm. I'm being downvoted.. Maybe this claim is taken as untrue (as I know goes mostly unknown): > The body barely converts carbs into body fat Here a quote to back it up (from McDougall, halfway in the article): https://fanaticcook.com/2014/03/24/excess-carbohydrate-does-not-turn-to-body-fat https://fanaticcook.com/2014/03/24/excess-carbohydrate-does-...
- DiThi 9y agoDe novo lipogenesis is inefficient, but that's not the point. It happens because carbs stimulate release of insulin, which puts the body in fat storage mode. Eating fat alongside carbs only makes things worse. If you eat the fats alone (and if you get enough sodium, too), you don't store them. Take a look at these videos (or any other of that channel, I'm not affiliated but happens to explain a lot of things I've learned myself), or read the sources in the description. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_4Q9Iv7_Ao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_4Q9Iv7_Ao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dan8qtgQRi8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dan8qtgQRi8
