Batman gets it
I lost 70 lbs 5 years ago and have kept it off with around 10% body fat. I eat very healthy and read more about nutrition than anything else, even sports.
what me and him are saying is a fact. its science
are we saying to go eat 1,800 calories of donuts and cookies, hell no. I eat TONs of fruits and veggies and lean meats to give me the micronutrients and energy I need to perform at a high level. I run 7-10 miles a day so I would feel like shite eating donuts and cookies all day.
go to bodybuilding.com and read up on if it fits in your macros. there are shredded guys on there with less than 10% body fat that hit their macro goals every day and still find room for foods they love, as long as it fits in their calories to maintain each day.
cutting carbs, keto, etc is a short term fix and nobody can go the rest of their life doing that. its all about balance and incorporating smart foods into your diet.
my best friend, my sister, my mom- all of them are constantly doing paleo, 21 day fasts, advocare, low carb, adkins. I try to tell them those are short term fixes, a healthy balanced lifestyle is the only answer. get up and move, exercise, keep your heart rate up and burning calories and eat smart 80% of the time and you will be successful. Carbs are not bad people.

how is paleo a fad diet?
it's eating real, normal foods, and basically cutting out most processed shite.
last night i ate a delicious chuck roast, half of a sweet potato, and Domenica's roasted cauliflower recipe.
something obviously works for you if you are in great shape, but it's not the only way. Paleo is 100% sustainable. I dont understand how meat, veggies, fruit, etc is a fad. Because it's not working for your mom?

Not necessarily
But I'm pretty sure numerous scientific studies have shown that low carb diets are better for keeping weight off than low fat higher carb diets.
I do pretty low carb, it works for me. Do I swear things off completely? No. That's why I couldn't do paleo. I enjoy dairy too much for paleo and I like to splurge on peanut butter and jelly when I'm having a cheat meal if you will.
