It's just an exercise in frustration and disappointment.
The only way I lost fat and kept it off is intermittent fasting. It's great. 12-16 hours with no calories; you can sleep through 6-8 hours of that; all the good - quality water, tea or coffee you want with no artificial sweeteners (proven to make your body crave fats and gain fat) although you can have stevia (Reb A; stevia rebaudiana ) or a teaspoon of honey or molasses in whatever you drink.
I started intermittent fasting in May of 2018. I weighed 208 lbs. I'm 5’7” tall, physically active, work 16 hours a day 7 days a week, and my only food vice is sugar. I cook from scratch and healthy. Lots of Chinese, Italian, and Native. I live on crutches the last 8-10 years from a lifetime of hard work and play on purpose.
I didn't weigh myself for almost 3 years. I was stunned to find out I had lost nearly 70 lbs. I believe the body loses fat to the amount it needs to. No two humans are identical, after all.
Now it's 2026. I still weigh 135-138 lbs. I still keep calories to 500 total maximum for the awake “intermittent fasting” hours. I eat whatever I please. I never had to avoid any part foods. I merely had to cut amounts. My injuries and osteoarthritis pains are almost nil and my endurance is better.
The proof is in the pudding.
I'm skeptical. This study didn't exactly try and mirror real-life conditions, these patients were in an intensive programme. They say the ‘slow’ group was started on 1400kcal a day, which is absolutely a crash diet, and is less than what people have been given in starvation experiments. When speaking about “rebound” they only study 12 months. Rebound weight gain is often over much more time than that. With no mechanism, this study doesn't really say anything much about real-world weightloss.
