Weight loss and perseverance

The Keto diet is really just an updated and copy of the Atkins Diet and everyone laughed at him 40 years ago. Fact is it works. Zero breads, sugars, potatoes, etc, etc. on a very low carb diet after a week your craving for sugars will slowly decrease but you can not cheat. Eat cheese, steak, chicken, burgers no bun, etc as often as you want. It’s easy but hard at the same time but it does work. It’s worth reading his book.

But those diets have all been proven to ultimately achieve weight loss the same way...fewer calories consumed than burned.

If it works for you, then by all means do it. But don’t be confused by the claims as to how it works. They are all designed to take advantage of feelings toward food as a way to get you to reduce caloric intake. But in the end, that’s all they do, reduce caloric intake.
