    I realize that it's 100% about calories in vs calories out. But I know people often follow certain styles or ways of eating that might HELP them meet their calorie and eating goals. I want to hear about them and why they work for you?

    Some that pop into my head are intermittent fasting, ketogenics, vegan, clean eating, paleo, LCHF, etc).

    What works for you and why?

    I am currently attempting to combine intermittent fasting and LCHF. I never want to eat till about 1pm or after dinner anyway so the fasting is easy. The LCHF seems really easy in theory (eat meats + veggies + healthy fats -- avoid pasta, grains, starchy veggies, processed foods). It's easy to shop for, cook, and eat. I don't crave that other stuff.

    I am struggling a bit with finding easy lunches since I don't want to food prep or cook lunches. Need to find something I can just buy at walmart and throw in work fridge. Right now I don't know what to bring so I am succumbing to local fast food joints.

    Same, LCHF for a lot of the reasons you said. In November it will be two years.

    No crazy blood sugar swings, less cravings, eating less processed stuff and more whole foods, I have more energy, my eczema is under control (almost no flare ups except if I have a few higher carb days in a row - bye, lotions/creams!).

    Easy LCHF lunches - salads, hard boiled eggs, lunch meat, cheese, nuts/seeds, protein bars/shakes. bulletproof coffee.

    My doctors put me on a ketogenic / LCHF diet when I was well over 300 lbs and some scary blood work. That along with CICO has helped me drop to less than half my previous size and close to a normal BMI after being super morbidly obese for my entire adult life. My blood work is perfect so I'm doing my best to stay the course. It's become pretty easy to be honest and I don't feel deprived or have crazy cravings, which I guess is why it works for me.
