With all due respect, I wager you've got a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't for you. There's no silver bullet, and the effectiveness of dietary interventions is very individualized. For instance, I've got a friend who manages to stay thin by always eating throughout the day, but never more than a handful of food. This wouldn't work for me because once I start eating, it's very difficult for me to stop. By the same token, simple caloric restriction (calorie counting) doesn't work for me, because I just hate tracking my food intake, so inevitably I give up on it. However, for me, time restricted eating is like magic. I simply don't start eating until a bit later in the day, and everything else takes care of itself. So it could very well be that this is the wrong diet for you but that doesn't mean it's completely without merit.
