I was a failed dieter from age 7 to 57. It took me that long to figure out that this body works best on animal products. I was never a particular meat eater and had to be forced to try it by an inability to move my bowels on anything else. But it has reduced and stabilized my weight like nothing else has, while all but eliminating my cravings for SAD food. I really like eating this way now, and get as much or more pleasure from food than ever. When I switched it was in despair over failure. They all (but the last) stopped working, though I continued to follow them religiously. For years I was an obsessive food diarist, and have books full of logs on what I ate, with charts showing how my weight gradually stabilized well before goal, and started going up again. This followed the trend of my appetite. When I switch diets my appetite goes down, and it recovers gradually over that half-year. I think going sugar-free is a great move, but from sources like https://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/ https://high-fat-nutrition.blogspot.com/ have come to think that avoiding seed-oils is even more important, over a span of decades.
