telling someone who is obese to just stop eating is like telling an alcoholic to just stop drinking. accurate, but useless.

Keto isn't suitable for everyone's lifestyle. You don't have to be hungry to restrict calories, just eat foods that are more satiating per calorie. The satiety index is a decent guide. And avoid large carby meals because in my experience the insulin crash causes huge food cravings.

I've done a bit of intermittent fasting - found it to be fairly easy.
>"Restrict calories" is a great terminal goal, but terrible advice.
Well I'm not talking counting the calories. In my case its more a general principle. e.g. I'll try to avoid a carb heavy meal.
What's generally much more effective is applying rules to your eating habits that result in calorie restriction. Intermittent Fasting or Keto works best, from what I've seen. The former because it requires no willpower for what you eat, or how much - only when. Keto works well because it requires zero willpower for how much you eat or when, only what. Either approach goes to the same place as "just eat less" with much less mental effort.
