Just do keto-diet, and sugar addiction will dissolve pretty quickly.
Just do keto-diet, and sugar addiction will dissolve pretty quickly.
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?
Anyway, I personally did it for about 2 months and even though I enjoyed it, I would not recommend it for most people. I tried it because I don't like dissing something without trying it first, so I put myself on Keto for 2 months to see what it was all about. I would recommend the same - try it for about 2 months and then decide it for yourself. Note that you will have to bear through the first 1-2 weeks of brain fogginess and low energy as your body adapts to it. But once that's over and you are in Ketosis, you will feel much better. Another thing to be careful about is that your body will go out of ketosis very easily if you eat carbs (ice cream for example). Don't use it as a way to lose body weight as most of the weight people lose is actually water weight due to the lack of carbs based glycogen.
I would recommend this Jeff Nippard's YouTube video on Keto too:

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!

I have done Keto myself and personally I would not recommend it. I would actually love to do keto forever as I love eating meat but it will pretty much ruin most of your social eating out habits unless you are okay with not going out for things like Sushi (not eating rolls), ice cream etc. I also do powerlifting and my calorie requirements are much higher. Strength wise, my strength took a dip initially but it mostly…
23kg loss sustained over 16 months on a modified keto diet.
Cutting out sugar has been a game changer for me.
Oh where can I get this game

This is exactly it. There's no need to take things to extremes. Any diet that is unsustainable long term is not going to be good for you.
I hope this doesn't come across as too pedantic, but I dunno if your maxim holds.
For instance, fasting isn't necessarily bad (I think it's quite useful) but clearly it's an unsustainable beyond a certain number of days.
Similarly, keto can both be very effective, change your eating preferences, and be done over a span of months even if it's not something done forever into the future.
I say this not because I have data, but just anecdotally... I lost quite a lot of weight through fasting and ketosis, and now that I've hit a stable weight and modified my diet (no sodas, sweets, bread, dairy and mostly plant based high-fat foods) I'm not in keto but a lot healthier than I was.
You can enter ketosis long enough to lose some weight and then add back in some carbs at some point... just don't return to whatever habits led you to gain weight in the first place.
