Low-carb/no-carb/Keto is a very hard way to lose weight over the longer term. I have a note on my wall from a radio show ~2 or ~3 years ago about the fatal metabolic defect of the ketogenic diet. I have a friend who tortured herself trying to stick to a keto/low-carb routine, even though she knew the slimmest she'd ever been was when she was eating rice cakes and egg whites (iirc - she wasn't that healthy, just was slender.) Something happened in the early-mid 1970's. The results started to appear 1978 to 1980: the population's weight on the scales started ticking up. I've posted about this a few times recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39493758 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39493758 All the interventions in the decades since 1980 haven't helped, because they don't address what changed circa ~1975-1977. I recently found a newspaper article from 1981 that's basically a smoking flare gun. I'm certain it covers what set off the obesity epidemic in the mid- to late- 1970's: the removal of a protective factor in the food supply. The sources cited in that 1981 article were so proud of themselves. Not sharing until I figure out how to take credit. The clues are all out there, you just have to know what's important. After addressing what happened in the mid-1970's, losing weight should be easier. There are still lots of details, and things that'll be specific to your own personal situation, but it shouldn't be so insurmountable. I'd be happy to chat with you about 'weight'. I just added a firefox relay email to my profile. I'll check spam to make sure it goes through... I'll respond to anyone who writes with a picture of my note about the fatal defect of 'keto', and a basic strategy for humans to keep themselves from gorging at their meals.
