I’m always suspicious of these fad diets. So, was it the food he ate or the working out that made the difference?
I’ve known several people who have had the gastric bypass or lap band surgery to lose weight. They are always advise afterwards to observe strict dietary guidelines. Hello?!
Gastric bypass or lap band surgery to lose weight is for people with no self control...............
How is it a “fad” if that’s how people ate, before we had supermarkets, and the availability of all kinds of foods all year around?
Our bodies were built to be cavemen.
Keto is not an fad diet. It has been used since the 1920s to control epilepsy.

I think the surgery is to make them feel full very quickly. It is to help them with the small portions because it’s very difficult if they’re used to eating large amounts.
I know someone who had it done, but, sadly, bit by bit, she overate again until she was back to square one. I guess if you work hard enough at it, you can overcome the surgery. Kind of sad to waste the opportunity.
Carnivore, paleo, keto etc. are not “fad diets.”

In my opinion it is a mixture - with more on the “food he ate” - AND his age/calorific burn genetic profile.
By cutting out empty carbs, I have lost a lot of weight - by that I mean: no chips, added sugar alcohol, soft drinks, white bread. And minimizing fast food (oily fried stuff) - not eliminating.
Essentially it became that most of my meals are home made from fresh ingredients - no processed food except for bread.
