Come on, are you seriously implying fruit is somehow bad for you now?
Not implying, it's a settled thing. The ocassional fruit is ok, but fructose is bad, and smoothies are basically sugar bombs.
You can eat whatever you want if you just work out seriously an hour a day. If you do that properly, gaining weight will become the challenge.
One jar of peanut butter is 3000 calories alone.

> My problem with keto is that most people on it eat so much saturated fat that their cholesterol goes through the roof Dataset needed
Here are a couple of studies: https://www.med.ubc.ca/news/popular-keto-diet-may-be-linked-... https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10121782/
Positives:
- PDF is available!
- Nice formatting
- Very well written, very clear what they did
Negatives:
- Not an experiment. An observational study.
- If I'm reading correctly, they classified someone's diet mostly based on 1 single prior 24 hour food questionnaire. This is a bit...weak.
- The LCHF cohort has significant pre-existing conditions (which they do correct for, but their headline is about the non-corrected number)
- They define LCHF diets as being - They then do NOT publish their data!
- BUT if you dig into their supplementary tables, they DO report that VLCs have lower rates of ASCVD than LCHF.
- They have conflicts of interest: "Dr Brunham has served on advisory boards for Amgen, Novartis, HLS Therapeutics, and Ultragenyx. Dr Iatan has served on advisory boards for Novartis and HLS Therapeutics and receiving honoraria from Novartis and Sanofi. "
Anyway, I give that one a C-. Well executed, but looks like their hands are tied. I would not bet on its associations to reproduce in an experiment.
Very long article, for something so simple. Stop eating i.e. fast. The cravings go away within 48h. Done, solved.
So I beg to differ that it's not (always) that simple.
Quitting cold turkey after a change of environment (moving somewhere else) is a good tip not just for addiction, but for any change in habit. However, a more practical approach is to reduce the dosage slowly. That works especially well for sweet drinks. If you have a soda maker, you can slowly reduce the amount of syrup you use. After a while, your tolerance for sweetness goes down, so things that previously felt not…
Kombucha is filling and most times one can is enough to make the cravings stop completely. I suspect it's a combination of the slightly sweet taste with the good gut bacteria.
As a sugar addict the only thing that has ever worked for me was doing a 3 day fast. For about 6 months afterwards I just seemed to not need sugary things as much and I didn’t crave it in the same way. I also had a lot more control over my hunger, being able to ignore it for longer, so I guess that probably helped. Eventually it wore off and I was back to being an addict again, but I thought it was interesting becaus…
Did you return to try another 3-day fast? Any ability to repeat the prior success?
> When I returned from my trip, my fridge was empty, so I resisted the temptation to buy those products. This has to be my reality. If I buy treats, no matter how good my intentions are to make them last, they just don't survive in the cupboard more than a couple of days. I have to leave my kitchen mostly empty apart from: diet soda, meat, cheese, yoghurt, peanut butter. Everything else is just too addictive and I ke…
My wife has the ability to have a pantry stocked full of treats and never eat them. I on the other hand have zero willpower in such cases. A pack of oreos will be destroyed in 24 hours, 1 or 2 innocent cookies at a time. Same with chips. These foods just completely break my brain.
Yet if I simply don't have those things in the house, I have no cravings for them at all.

Ok, thanks for the links. I had time to read the first study you shared. Here is the link to the actual study: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2772963X2...

Were I you I would get my ApoB checked. If it’s low, then great! Keep doing what you’re doing! But don’t give yourself a heart attack following the latest fad diet.
