LCHF promoters have a marketing issue because it feels like a cult or a religion.

If they could just focus their message to "eat as little artificial sugar and starch as possible", I think fewer people would cry out in protest.

It's my takeaway, anyway. I lost 10 pounds in a month when I quit eating soft bread, pasta, potatoes and most sweets. My diet was basically hard bread with cheese for breakfast, salad for lunch, meat and vegetables for dinner.

It can be a very effective start to a lifestyle change. It can be hard to keep up, though (and expensive, depending on where you live).
