The secret for weight loss seems to be restricting meal times and the amount of meals. Without all the soft science around it, the solid improvement is that most people I've met fair really badly eating six or whatever crazy small meals a day because A. It's a lot of work. B. They're hungry all the fucking time. So, the 6 meals of 200 calories a day become 300 calories on accident, and pretty soon they're just back to their normal eating habits. For IF, fewer meals appeal to human laziness, like I cook one to two meals a day, while simultaneously conditioning you to eat less often.
>Paleo, keto, whatever.This is all really a secondary consideration for weight loss. If you're cutting properly, you'll probably cut from carbs and often end up in ketosis anyway. In general, sugar is just a bastard as far as hunger management and caloric density is considered.
>hurr, I'm on a low fat diet. Oh no, why is my hunger spiking all the time? What do you mean these Jenny Craig fitness bars contain 200 calories and 25g of sugar?In general, cut from carbs. Eat less refined food (they're typically more calorie dense per weight), eat more meat.
>EXERCISE?What you'll find in exercise is that common wisdom typically pops up constantly. And the common wisdom is you have the big three lifts (Squats, Deadlifts, Bench), and then whatever people really want to throw in (OHP, Pullups, skullcrushers, lateral raisers, pull down, whatever) with the logic being somewhere between 5-12 reps as ideal.
Cardio is good for health, but really is a secondary concern for most purposes.
