In his defense, there is a lot of misinformation going on out there on weight loss and we've been drilled for decades that to get healthy you must eat large carb heavy meals and run 60 miles a day, lift 600lbs of weights, and all this other shit.
Hell people still think that fat is bad for you, despite no medical studies to back it up, but many medical studies on how fat is actually good for you.
Fact of the matter, if you cut tons of carbs and sugar out of your diet, eat high protein moderate fat diets with lots of leafy green veggies, you will shed weight, from nothing more than that.
But at the same time, calories in, calories out too. high protein/fat diets are easy because they are good for you, but also because they fill you up faster and longer so it's harder to consume more calories than you can.
I'd say the ideal lifestyle change is ketogenic in nature diet with 16:8 intermittent fasting.
Emphasis on the intermittent fasting. I did a test last year and I lost 60lbs over 8 months eating literal garbage. I ate McDonalds primarily and other fast food. My only goal was i did not eat before 12PM and after 8AM and when I did eat, I did not go over 1800 calories.
