I do keto (along with Keto Chow, which is basically low carb Soylent). I've had success with calorie counting in the past.

When I'm at my best, I also get a lot of cardio and lift some free weights. Working remotely has the nice advantage of being able to use a home gym.

At the risk of sounding overly dramatic, low carb eating and intermittent fasting have changed my life. The way it puts you in touch with yourself and naturally regulates your mood and caloric intake is almost magical. It takes some time and tweaking to get to that point but if a person can be consistent about it for six months, it then becomes a natural way of eating/living. The knowledge on why it works is all out there now for us to absorb, it's just a matter of having the confidence to take control of our own health rather than relying on doctors that wouldn't recognize a research paper if it hit them across the head!
