#3From the actual study:
"8-week weight losses for ICT were 3.1% vs. 2.2% for sham. A marginally significant effect was observed for gamification to reduce the impact of ICT."
This seems like a small effect for eight weeks of work. And gamification backfiring makes me worry this is all noise.

I'm not even on a keto diet, but I avoid refined sugars as much as possible. On most days my refined sugar intake is well below 10 grams.
You don't have to do go full keto to get a health benefit!

There's nothing "just" about doing keto

I hear about keto so often that it must be the best thing ever, however I have no idea what it even is and I got curious!
Do you have some links/articles which describe what it is and what positive/negative things can come out of it?

1% is significant if it trains long term behaviour. Losing 2.2% in 8 weeks is useless if it is unsustainable if you will fall for the processed food trap again and regain your weight.

Didn't see any mention of a control, so could just be down to the classes beforehand. Nevertheless 2%-3% weight loss without 'dieting' is surely good, it's at least additive to normal dieting, and perhaps even more effective in that it can help in overcoming craving.
Plus what rate of weight loss do you think is acceptable. Losing 25% of your bodyweight in a week may be the 'in thing', but it isn't necessarily healthy or sustainable.
