If it is a "quick fix" to get the weight off, it's not going to work long term.⁠
.⁠
Guess what... Fad diets such as intermittent fasting, keto, the grapefruit diet, juicing diet... The ONLY reason this work is because it drastically reduces your caloric consumption.⁠
.⁠
For example... Keto... It works because you eliminate the most readily available nutrient source, aka carbs.  Carbs are what the typical American grazes on all day long... So if you cut that out and focus on protein and fats, your caloric consumption will drastically be reduced for most people.  Hence weight loss.⁠
.⁠
For Intermittent fasting... It works because the typical American eats all day every day, and to shorten their eating window from 12 hours, down to 6 hours, chances are caloric consumption will be reduced, hence weight loss.⁠
.⁠
These only work because of caloric manipulation.  Don't be fooled by the bullshit marketing.⁠
.⁠
On top of that, you're more than likely to burn through a significant amount of muscle tissues utilizing a fad diet... This will put you in a position where you lose weight, but you end up with a body that looks worse because you burned through muscle tissue and still have a lot of the fat. Hence the "skinny fat" body. ⁠
.⁠
Learn the process of eating nutrient-dense whole foods, focus on reducing stress, and get 8 hours of sleep. ⁠
.⁠
Let's change our mindset from a quick fix, to actually learning how to fuel the body properly.  You'll look better and feel better long term!
