Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

This applies to all these diets, not just calorie counting. "Don't eat carbs", "don't eat fats", "don't eat processed foods" are all different ways of saying "You just have to raise your elevation."

They all imply there's just one singular thing you have to do, but they're not sustainable.

Your conclusion is great, it's all about designing a sustainable diet for yourself that works.

I generally eat keto and have for years, there's a bit more than "don't eat carbs" behind it. Sure, if you just want to drop weight quickly go ahead and eat bacon and eggs for 6 month straight. You'll be miserable but it'll work. For me, Keto was an inroad to actually understanding nutrition, how to structure eating in a way that works well, and provided a "change of scenery" so to speak that enabled me to be more conscious of my body and how it reacts to certain things. I'm not going to sit here and say it's the answer for everyone, I just wanted to point out that this graphic is also incredibly reductionist in their description of the diets as well and that sometimes these fad diets can have a meaningful impact on peoples understanding of nutrition and how their body works
