[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 140544, member: 18023"] In the narrow sense of is one diet more efficient than the other, I agree. You do address maintenance, which is critical, though for me maintenance is dependent on maintaining TRT. I would say testosterone levels are the most critical part of both lowering weight and maintaining weight loss. Not that you can't stay thin while also being hypogonadal and living in an abundance of available food, but it's much more of struggle. But you need to include compliance, which may favor one type of diet over others. I think a lower carb diet for many is easier to comply with, though for others avoiding fat maybe easier. Though a stick keto or near total avoidance of fat maybe much more difficult. One could switch from a diet to lose weight to a maintenance diet, though many seem to have problems with that. For me, simply trying to keep my blood glucose under 100 works to also lose weight without really trying to diet per se. So far in the last 6 months I have lost 26 lbs, I have no idea of how many calories, carbs and fats I eat. Probably I often have >100 grams of carbs in a day, though some days it's more like 25. Some days I have various Thai dishes and I only vaguely know what is in them. I also tend to snack during the day, though it's usually nuts, jerky, or something like a few chicken wings. My diet isn't consistent day to day at all, the only consistent thing is I have is whey protein, cocoa powder and coffee before ~2PM, I may eat food or maybe not. But I was drinking that when I was also heavier, but not on TRT and not watching my BG. So IMO the most important thing is proper hormone levels, and currently keeping my BG fairly low works and more exercise, though I can lose weight without the BG part, it seems easier this way.
