1. Low carb works for me

But is bit if a challenge, I'm vegetarian. But it does work! Don't forget 8 glasses of water too.

2. How do you get your protein

Since beans are often excluded on low carb diet?

[SouthernDem4ever]

3. Meat, however if you're vegetarian that makes thing difficult

Eggs work too.

7. Beans are ok because they are complex carbs.

Nuts, seeds, tofu, soy, cheese and eggs all have protein as well.

4. Intermittent Fasting worked well for us.

I recommend the book The Obesity Code for the science behind it.

5. Low carb works best for me.

Since the pandemic started I've lost 60 lbs. by cutting out most carbs, especially sweets, bread and potatoes, eating high-protein foods with "good" fats (avoiding trans fats) and doing a lot of walking. I can't imagine that a high-carb diet would work unless you focus on complex carbohydrates like non-starchy vegetables, beans and nuts. Avoid simple carbohydrates, which are in candy, desserts, doughnuts, potatoes, cereals, white bread, white rice, pasta, bagels, etc. These foods have empty calories and in a worst case could lead to a pre-diabetic condition.

8. Body would spend all its time burning off the carbs

and storing the rest. Low-fat protein, green vegetables, complex carbs (whole wheat flour, grains, low in sugar), low dairy. Avoid starches - potatoes, fries, chips, crackers.
