Your post smells of gaslighting. I'll leave it to the reader to decide what they want. Keto has been the best of several diets that I've tried. * It does decrease hunger relative to other diets (for me, possibly others) * It doesn't have to just be steak and bacon. It's encouraged that people add in broccoli, celery, cauliflower, nuts, berries, and a variety of meats, not just steak, bacon and cheese * It is much easier on your insulin levels than traditional diets * It can include plenty of fiber * Diets need to include psychology and account for it. A successful diet will not just be "calories-in/calories-out". Very few people have the will power to starve themselves to a successful weight. Almost all of the people I've met that said that never successfully lost weight or never had a weight problem to begin with. * Don't talk down to people when clearly they have had success and have studied the topic.

I pretty much agree with everything you're saying here. The only thing we seem to disagree on is that I believe a successful diet is overwhelmingly due to CICO. Yes, it's not the only aspect of a successful diet, but it is mandatory. I also agree that everyone needs to tailor their diet to their individual psychological needs, but not at the expense of CICO. > Don't talk down to people when clearly they have had success and have studied the topic. If we're comparing anecdotes, I always have success losing weight with a mainstream healthy diet (moderate protein, moderate carbs including some sugars, very low fat). I have had success with other diets - including high fat ones, which I don't do anymore because I don't think it's healthy. In every case I attribute my success to weighing food and tracking calories.

I don’t see where anyone has talked down to you in this discussion. Could you elaborate?
