Most of what you believe about a healthy diet is probably not true.

Foods that are the same colour have the same calories.

For example, dark chocolate is the same colour as black coffee. Black coffee has zero calories, therefore so does dark chocolate.

Food you don't pay for has zero calories.

This is why I always over cook my chips to "brown out" them calories.

If you continue to this your net calorie intake over your lifetime will be substantially less too because you'll probably die of cancer. The calorie saving will be enormous though!

Fast as much as possible...
This is new on any fads or "proper" diets that I've noticed in the past.

Who's agenda is pushing that one?? People that can't afford to eat? The poor? Is it a drive to make the population skinnier? Probably worth it lol.

Or is fasting the time between my breakfast and lunch, if I have it, dinner..?
I'm not eating, therefore I'm fasting.

Last time I spoke to a dietary professional at work, ( i seriously can't remember the English words for it, help)
They say people should eat little but often.....

Oh well.

The one I've been following suggests either a 4 hour eating window or omad (one meal a day)

I've lost 6kg in 3 months basically doing keto with a 4 hour which is better than I lost last time I did a calorie controlled diet and the major difference is that this is really easy so it's become an actual lifestyle change rather than "a diet" that I would stick to for a bit and then give up on once I got my target weight - I'm not hungry all the time and I don't worry about having a slice of cake or whatever as long as it's not every day

Now that I've realised that I was cutting the wrong thing by cutting fat when what I should be cutting is sugar, as I kept worrying about "cholesterol" and "salt" as being the bad thing when probably the worst thing in my diet was probably vegetable oil, my blood pressure has dropped about 10 points

I'm not convinced skipping a meal entirely is what is intended behind "fasting" but it is pretty much researched that you shouldn't eat past a certain point at night. Calories took in too close to bedtime literally go straight to your ass. A ex-Royal Marine I used to work with would rather miss dinner than eat past 7pm for example.

The other issue is that protein wakes you up, so eating a full meal late at night will also probably mess up your sleep patterns

Eat vegies and meat. Don't eat sugar. Fast as much as possible. Lift heavy ****.

The bit that was new to me was that for literal decades I've had doctors telling me to cut down saturated fat and salt intake - reading actual studies and following doctors who stay up to date on research I've now realised that veg/nut oils are actually bad for your heart, not saturated fat or salt, so sugar is easy to give up if you can eat food that actually tastes good ;)

If you're on any sort of diet you can eat anything without gaining weight because you accompany it with a diet coke.
 
I use a vitamin to keep my muscles at the same amount as I had at age 30. And an acid for mental sharpness, fat burning and libido.
