I have noticed that there are superresponders to various diets. I am a person that when cuts the starch and sugar could double the caloric intake and still lose weight.

Seems that we are in multimodal distribution so the search for one size fits all weight loss regimen is doomed.

I have seen people succeed with:

Fasting (my first weight loss was that way)

Extremely low carb

Just training

Shocking life event (divorce etc)

The Pill - a friend of mine was quite fat until she started contraception and she thinned a lot for a year. Without dieting.
