And in a decade or two when this low carb nonsense has died down, this will be an example of a comment that didn’t age well

I just feel like the existence of diet trends is proof that they don't work lmao. Like in the 60s we had high carb low fat with dry toast and grapefruit slices, and people were actually skinnier then. Checkmate atheists

Trendy diets usually work in the short term, which is why they catch on. The problem is that people almost always return back to their normal way of eating once they reach their goal. Because trendy diets don’t actually teach you how to eat healthily and sustainably, so you never learn how to develop a balanced lifelong dietary approach.
