No, it really isn't (for me, at least). When I was limiting my calories and exercising more I was gaining weight, feeling like crap, and was miserable and hungry much of the time.
Now that I stopped trying to keep calories down and eat as much fat as I can handle (about 4/5 of my calories come from fat), I lost 30 lbs from my maximum, feel much better (in addition to having more favorable biomarkers), have significantly improved cognition, and almost never feel miserable because I'm hungry. This is precisely the opposite of the advice I received from virtually all the diet authorities I had encountered like my high school health textbook and doctors.
Will you agree to update your report in a year or so?
You mean at the 3 year mark? It has already been 2 years.
Yes, although my erroneous impression from reading your post was that you hadn't been on the high-fat strategy for all that long.
Thanks for cooperating!
