Keto for weightloss is a meme. It is supposed to help reduce seizures epileptic children not help adults loose weight.
Weight Watchers is subscription based weight loss, the primary goal is to keep the dieter feeling like it will take just one more month to reach that goal, but they never will ;)
Paleo is just a huge joke, in span of the Paleolithic era humans went from being field apes to full on farmers. So a true paleo diet could include anything from raw rabbit to a burger on baked bread.
Ha, this is awesome.
This is false. Keto isn’t about a caloric deficit, it’s about exploiting a loophole in the Krebs cycle by tricking your body into a starvation state.
No it’s not, it’s about eating things that more easily signal to your body that you are full and learning to hear that signal, and in turn eating at a calorie deficit.
No. Its about creating ketones out of fat cells that your body uses as a subsitute for carbs. Nothing to do with caloric deficit.
Why would the body be looking for carb substitutes?

So… Calorie deficit

Brain works fine on ketones.

Yes, yes. We know what the keto diet is pretending to do, but that’s all it’s doing: Pretending.
If this was true, your body temperature would just sky rocket.
People on keto diets have greater measured energy expenditure at rest, so yes, they are producing more waste heat
Which is bullshit because they are not running a fever, which would be extremely unhealthy anyway.
Did you know when your body gets too hot you thermoregulate to bring it back down to a normal temperature? It’s what separates us from reptiles.
A fever is when your immune system tells your body NOT to do that so you can better kill off pathogens. Besides, the 50-150 cal burned by ketosis would raise your body temperature by an absolutely negligible amount, drinking a cup of tea would have a more noticeable impact on skin temp
What separates us from the reptiles is that we can get our body temperature UP by burning calories. If you run hot, you can only passively cool down by sweating lots or walking around naked, I guess. If you aren’t sweating lots, you aren’t losing significant excess heat. But the actual point of the OP is that many people who are even only 40 lb overweight already eat in excess of 150 kcal, never mind 50. If this is how ketosis works, they wouldn’t run super hot, but they would also never get to a normal weight. Also, you can achieve the same effect by exercising or even just drinking cold water. Think about how many people got thin by doing this.
BTW, when you drink tea etc, your body reduces heat production to compensate.
Correct. The Keto Diet is extremely unhealthy.

Keto was developed in the 1920s and is about controlling seizures in drug resistant epileptic children.
I’ve been on intermittent fasting (16:8) for close to 3 months now and have lost almost 10 lbs. It’s the option that worked best for me because I don’t have to worry about eating something I shouldn’t (i.e. keto or low carb), and I just need to make sure I don’t eat anything outside the 8 hour window. It’s the easiest way because you don’t need to think about portions, ingredients, or counting calories.
Same here, I struggle with keeping portion sizes small, but I have no problem skipping breakfast.
I’ve been losing weight steadily, while still being able to go full pig mode some times. Finding some kind of sport also helps, I got really into cycling after trying a lot of different stuff.
Your diet should really be focused on long term health and not rapid weight loss.
Stop stuffing your face diet is my favorite
