Diets are like resistance training routines. There are a million+ ways to get results. Trick is finding one that works well and can be maintained for life. Keto works for weight loss but I could never maintain it for any extended length of time. It makes me feel very deprived and generally like crap. Calories do matter.Did an interesting experiment with some coworkers. One guy was all about keto. One was all about macros. One suggested it didn't matter what you eat if you were at a calorie deficit.
All three used the same nutrition tracker and limited themselves to 1800 calories a day.
Keto guy lost rougly 7.5% of his body weight over 3 months.
Macro guy lost roughly 7% of his body weight.
2 whoppers with cheese every day guy lost 8% of his body weight.
