Sounds like "Sugar Busters" diet from NOLA in the 90's. Cut out carbs that turn to sugars and cut out all the sugars...........worked like a charm for me. Now when I need to cut back I just take carbs and sugar out of my food intake and I start to loose weight again.

What ADA and AMA recommends is being proven wrong in study after study, but more than that are the people like myself who stopped eating the way every health care professional says we should and removed the carbs, sugars, and artificial food resembling substances to lose over 40 lbs., not need medicines to stop the pain from rheumatoid arthritis and just feel good again. Not going to tell anyone that one is better than the other for them, but I know what is better for me.

Someone skipped the reason I'm no longer simply "adjusting my eating habits and exercising so I burn more calories than I take in" anymore. That's what I was already doing.
Your diet is simply what you eat. How does a diet not work long term? Is this from assuming they will be abandoned once the goal is reached? If the change is permanent, I don't really see how the diet would stop working.

I went on the keto diet Feb 2016 and have lost 100lbs since then. I am definitely healthier than I was and that is probably mostly due to the weight loss. The way keto helped me was I was able to stick to it and control my portions, which has always been troublesome for me.
Currently I am still on it, and probably will be for a bit longer as I strive for my goal self. Will I stay on it long term? Maybe, maybe not....I REALLY miss beer.

The reason I ask is because I have been "fit" at many different weights in my lifetime. As an endurance athlete racing road bikes, I have been 160lbs with skinny freaking arms, and thunder thighs with 3% body fat and able to race 100+ miles at 20+ mph pace. I couldn't do a pull-up, but I could sprint on a bike at 30mph+ going up hill. Getting down to my clinical ideal weight for my height of 155lbs would be stupid. I also have been 175lbs and able to do P90X workouts without much trouble; I wasn't as snappy riding in the hills, but I wasn't racing either. I had a nice upper body, could do pull-ups, etc. I considered 175lbs to be my ideal weight for general fitness and strength - a far cry from the 155 on paper that my height should be at.
Normally, what I've seen from my buddies, is if they are not hitting their ideal weights and are heavy is because they are "skinny fat." Meaning they are thin, but just don't have the metabolism to support what they want to do. They lost weight, but are weaker. A lot of them lost weight on these paleo, or non-fat, or atkins style diets too.
I am not saying you are there, but I am curious where the 155 number comes from? I know I'll never hit my ideal BMI-crap-weight of 155. I will target to get down to 175 if I am strong.

My strength has dropped slightly on some lifts but continue to increase on others while on keto. I'm not worried about my strength now because a caloric deficit is not an ideal intake for strength gains.
