(This post and future Tuesday posts are meant to highlight common weight loss myths that can lead to weight loss failure. Whether old myths that have become legend or the spouting of a supplement endorsed influencer, weight loss will always be dependent on caloric intake vs caloric expenditure)

Myth: _____ is the best diet to lose weight!
Reality: No specific diet has the magical ingredient for weight loss. All diet programs, whether short-term or long-term rely on the basic fact that a reduction of calories (caloric deficit) will contribute to weight loss. The important thing is to find a diet that works for you and your needs. Consider your work, life, activities, etc and come up with a meal protocol that will be effective for you and not the one that "influencer" is trying to sell you.
In Depth: Diets like IF, Keto, Paleo, etc offer varying protocols for caloric reduction. Whether through limiting intake to specific times of day (Intermittent Fasting) or eliminating carbohydrates like Keto, the idea is to create a deficit that forces the body to adapt and thus burn fat for energy. None of these protocols are magical, even the "fat annihilating" diet of Keto (Ketosis) still requires a reduction of calories in relation to energy expenditure in order to achieve results. The risk of trying to follow broad-spectrum diets is that they don't always lead to similar results. The reality is that every person has very specific nutritional needs that requires a unique approach. This will take time, and sometimes failure, to narrow the focus on eating protocol, but in the long-term it will be more beneficial than just adhering to the broad dietary concept.
