I have issue with several of your supposed myths. I have been dieting off and on for over forty years now. I put on a significant amount of weight over the last ten years and was well over 350lbs (I'm 6 feet tall, male, 61 years old, diabetic and have a sedentary lifestyle.
I was totally addicted to carbs in the form of junk food like pizza, burger, fries, fried chicken cookies, candy and soda. I would eat, pass out and wake up hungry and eat again. I had heard about keto and intermittent fasting, thought it's proponents were nuts, but slowly started to move in that direction. After 17 weeks I have lost 43 lbs - effortlessly! I no longer miss my old Faves, though sometimes I indulge in a diet Dr pepper or a keto approved substitute like chocolates sweetened with Stevia.
I do cardio (treadmill) to counteract my desk job (and my entertainment of watching YouTube videos)and get my blood circulating and heart working. Seventeen weeks ago I couldn't walk a block in ten minutes without being out of breath, now I can walk 2. 3 miles in forty-five minutes with just a mild sweat to show for it. I know it's not the best exercise, but I plan to upgrade after I lose a little more and improve my stamina a little more. Also waiting on a broken arm to heal a little more. It's been seventeen months, but it's still not quite right yet.
I get how looking at the scale everyday is great - to maintain a healthy weight, but when your trying to lose weight, it can be demoralizing! I weigh-in once a week, but also try on smaller clothes to judge my progress. Seventeen weeks ago I was using a pair of pants that were a size 52 waist - and they were tight! Now I wear a waist size 44 with an elastic band and their lose!
You might want to look and see who funds all those studies you are quoting. Many studies are funded by the sugar industry and companies like Kellog's! Did you know that Jillian Michael's of biggest loser Fame is a major shareholder in Soda Stream! Crazy, right!
I agree you do have to find what works best for you. For me, that's keto/I. F. and a few days of cardio each week at this point in my weight loss journey.
Enjoy the journey. Don't rush it. You'll get to the destination if you don't stop. Just enjoy getting there.

Theres a lot of BS that floats around concerning weight loss and/or gaining muscle. A lot of it seems to be in an attempt at getting people to buy expensive gym memberships or making them believe that they need a $40 an hour personal trainer when they dont.
Eat healthy, limit your trash food intake, stay away from sugars, sodium, high carbohydrate foods, exercise 4-5 or more days a week- youll be fine!

When you fast not knowing what you're doing you have a significant greater chance of ending up with a eating disorder. Fasting can be a magnificent tool in wight loss and decreasing insulin resistance, but you should not attempt it on you own. Seek advice from a health professional before trying anything so drastic as a fasting, ketogenic diet and so.

I lost 95 pounds over the last 7 months just by reducing my intake to 1800kcal. I still eat whatever I crave, I just track and count everything and gauge when I have to stop eating. Cool to hear, that I was doing something right in still eating unhealthy things just in healthy amounts without a care about sport, fasting and not eating too late or something.

The missing item in this and the vast majority of weight loss advice videos is FITNESS. Most over weight people are very unfit, like myself. So before one begins to lose as much weight as needed for a healthy lifestyle one needs to be able to do so. Upping ones fitness is the only way, without starvation, to do so. Please do a video on fitness

Not sure if this video is helpful for people to lose weight as everything people can think of to lose weight is said not effective. It says Cardio make no difference but you need this to become calories deficit etc. I think every little difference matter, if you add all them up then you get there faster.

And the biggest myth that you push yourself. That you have to have a calorie deficit to lose weight. This has been disproven decades ago. you can eat thousands of calories daily and do zero exercise and still lose body fat.
It's not how many calories you eat. It's where the calories come from.

The problem with all the advice out there is nearly all of them reference a study to back it up. Best to be skeptical of them all, just because it's peer reviewed doesn't mean they are correct. They may have just based their hypothesis on bad sample data.

Very good and informative, however I simply dont accept, that dieting with or without cardio have almost the same result.
If thats the case, they either didnt stick to their diet as they should have or they did not do a good cardio. Fact!
