is a challenge with all three diets and no diet rises to the top as being the best. And so you kind of have options here to choose which one feels the best to you. And people's success or failure on those diets is going to depend on whether or not they're able to adhere to those diets long term.

That's perfect.

People like to demonize calories in, calories out. I think it's a straw man argument. They try and simplify it as meaning that 100 calories of carrots is the same as 100 calories of cookies, and nobody's ever said that. It's a oversimplified term for really the energy balance equation. And that's total daily energy intake. That's all of the calories you consume. And total daily energy expenditure.

And that's all of the activity and energy, the calories that you burn. It's a more complex equation. It accounts for things like fiber, like hormones and satiety, which can drive overconsumption of food, which would affect your energy intake side of the equation. And it accounts for how hormones affect Things like your energy, your ability to exercise and burn calories.

So all of those things are accounted for in that energy balance equation. At the end of the day, if you want to lose weight, you have to get into a calorie deficit. Calories do count, whether you're doing keto or whether you're doing intermittent fasting or whether you're counting calories. If you're going to lose weight or if you're losing weight, you are in a calorie deficit just by definition.

And that's not to say that you have to count calories. Those are other methods or ways that you can put yourself in a calorie deficit by eliminating food groups or by eliminating the amount of time that you eat in a day. The end result of that is that if you lose weight, you created a calorie deficit, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

But whether or not you can maintain that type of diet long term becomes still the most important. Like you said, adherence is important. I coined the term compliance is the science. And ultimately, whichever diet path that you choose, being able to adhere to it long term, make it part of a lifestyle that you can sustain is going to be the most important thing. But calories do count.
