This might sound strange, but I am so deeply confused by all the information I see on weightloss because it's all so impossibly contradicting. I know some things are sure to be true and has been proven way beyond doubt, as an example that less carbs promote weight loss. But there are things that everyone says different things about. To name a few;
- Frequent Snacking vs IF; some say snacking speeds up metabolism and promotes weight loss, some say it doesn't because lowering insulin levels promotes weight loss.
- Keto vs Atkins; it's obvious that Keto works and people praise it like it's God almighty, but majority of research I've read says that it's very unsustainable in the long term due to the extreme lack of carbs and feelings of restrictions causing binges and that it provides no maintainable weight loss, especially for those that start out not overweight. Atkins doesn't seem to have the same problems as carbs aren't as "banned" yet isn't praised nearly as much as Keto and seems to be pretty dead.
- Obsessive Calorie Counting vs. Clean Eating; some say you can eat chips and chocolates all day as long as you stay under a calorie limit and some say that it causes anxiety and binges. Actually, I'm quite sure that this is usually not the way to go, I've seen so many friends fall into the depths of ED using this and many get massive anxiety. Some say eating whole foods is better because it promotes weight loss, despite those whole foods being full of calories (f.x. nuts) that inevitably get you over a certain calorie limit.
So thoughts? experiences? other contradicting statements? is there anything you know to be proven way beyond doubt?
