I think the folks on HN are generally aware that weight loss is incredibly hard, I'd be surprised to see anyone here trying to shove fad advice down your gullet.

It happens almost every time. People show up when weight loss is discussed and talk all the pseudoscience behind intermittent fasting[0], Paleo, carnivore, anti-FODMAP, etc. and how that's the key and it changed their life because they are never hungry and blah blah blah.

[0] which I find hilarious because their definition is skipping one meal a day, not skipping entire days at a time the way I did when I was trying it. Skipping a single meal is not, nor will it ever be, "fasting" as far as I'm concerned.
