Keto'ish' diet

The only thing being tricked are the people following a stupid diet. The reason keto is popular is because you lose a lot of weight quickly but it is almost all because you are deprived of fruit and veg which has a high water content and you don't adjust your drinking to compensate so it is just water weight. It looks impressive on the scale but you haven't lost that much fat and will easily put it back on as you rehydrate. That's why most dieters hit a plateau after a few weeks.

We are not cutting out veg, just eating lots of leafy greens and beans. I think the main point is that you are not eating processed food and are cooking meals from scratch. We are not eating the so called 'low fat' products which are filled with sugar to compensate for the lack of fat in them and invariably are not as 'low fat' or 'low calorie' as they make out. Like I said we have both lost a stone each with minimal changes to our diet. Obviously over the Xmas period some of our calorie intake has been from more processed food but we have still maintained the weight loss.
 
I also found it amazing how the food pyramid/plate that we all know today was created with no scientific fact behind it.

Actually, it was created using scientific studies. They just chose those that suited their agenda and pretended that all of the other studies that disproved their opinions didnt exist. They were also under the control of the food industry and that's who paid for their 'studies'.
A real crime that cost millions of lives when you look at how much heart disease, obesity and diabetes increased following their advice.

Didn't they hand pick the studies from other countries CHD figures which showed higher rates and conveniently leave out the high fat, high protein diets which showed lower morbidity rates?

The main point is the calorie deficit.
