No, it's not. Consciously reducing food intake to lose weight is entirely unsustainable if you're still hungry.Literally as simple as that.
I agree with no carbs part but its an extreme change. Most people will stick to it for 2-3 days at best then binge eat. Losing weight is merely having a calorie deficit, regardless of its form (fats, carbs of protein).No, it's not. Consciously reducing food intake to lose weight is entirely unsustainable if you're still hungry.
When you don't eat carbs, your body uses stored fat for energy and so you don't need to eat as much.
Short, intensive exercise can help, but 30min or more just makes you hungrier, so either you eat more, or reducing food intake from original level becomes even harder.
Simply reducing calories is such a simple-minded approach to things. You need to look at why you're consuming too many calories to start with. The reason has to do with having insulin levels elevated above what nature ever really intended, and for longer. This is caused by eating too many carbohydrates.
Wow. So reducing certain foods is too hard and unsustainable.I agree with no carbs part but its an extreme change. Most people will stick to it for 2-3 days at best then binge eat. Losing weight is merely having a calorie deficit, regardless of its form (fats, carbs of protein).
That is assuming one is still hungry. It is relatively easy to counter hunger by increasing fiber intake and consuming whole (read: real) foods.No, it's not. Consciously reducing food intake to lose weight is entirely unsustainable if you're still hungry.

Throughout my teenage years I’ve always had an extra few kgs. Never “fat” or chubby, but I didn’t have abs or a perfectly flat stomach. A few years ago, I gained a lot of weight and invested a great deal of effort in getting rid of it. I lost approximately 13kg doing exactly what I posted above. No more, no less.
It is stupid to assume that there is a one size fits all approach to weight loss. If I wanted to trek into the city, I have a myriad of transportation methods at my disposal and I will obviously chose the one that is easiest for me. Somebody might get in via ferry, others might drive and others might jump on a train. Which method is best?
More to the point, personally, I fail to see how reducing carbohydrates to the extent that weight loss can be triggered, without worrying about caloric intake, is sustainable in the long term. I do not doubt it’s effectiveness in actually reducing fat storage, but I question whether it is a sustainable lifestyle decision for most people. In my opinion, most people quit their “diets” because they make decisions that they can’t adhere to in the long term. I couldn’t reduce carbs to that extent and stick to losing weight and I know a lot of people wouldn’t be able to do it either. If it’s working for you, then more power to you.
There is nothing "real" abou most "whole" foods. There's no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, so you might as well eat nutrionally dense foods instead of stuffing yourself full of nutrionally vaccuous fibre.That is assuming one is still hungry.

What does not worrying about caloric intake have to do with its sustainability?More to the point, personally, I fail to see how reducing carbohydrates to the extent that weight loss can be triggered, without worrying about caloric intake, is sustainable in the long term.
It's more sustainable than being constantly hungryI do not doubt it’s effectiveness in actually reducing fat storage, but I question whether it is a sustainable lifestyle decision for most people. In my opinion, most people quit their “diets” because they make decisions that they can’t adhere to in the long term.
