Have you tried to lose weight with a popular trendy diet like keto, vegan, fasting, carnivore or low-carb only to be frustrated that they don't work out long term? Before all of these fad diets came about, the idea of dieting actually started 150 years ago with our obsession of losing weight. Even as we become more intelligent about nutrition and understand how carbs, fats, and proteins affect our body composition, obesity is still on the rise. We can find thousands of diet plans on the internet but for some reason they don't seem to work out long-term.
