I mean, basically every reasonable idea works about the same. Eat real food, not too much, go exercise. As long as your diet does that, it is all about long term adherence - your diet only really works if you can stick to it the rest of your life.

The desire for a silver bullet, though, is what drives the wackball solutions.

And I can go with that but then its not news to say. hey this diet is as good as other choices or no worse or such.

Idk, it seems like news to me since some areas of the internet have been very vocal in their hype.

Not every news article is going to be about some ground breaking research. That researchers are putting these sorts of fad diets to the test is important and knowing the outcome of that is useful. Journalism is about informing people, not entertaining them. If you can't handle being informed without the sensationalism, you may need to seek professional help.

This isn't information to me. One of many diet options does about as well as most other diet options. Really unnecessary. If you can't reading a critique comment without needing to infer the commentor needs professional help whelp then I would say I should write some sarcatic reply about it.
