I suspect most people could easily do it for a week or so with the right support, but as a long term health intervention I'd say 1 in 100 people can adhere to this kind of regime.

The title is very misleading. This study is saying that it does not matter if you do a low-carb or low-fat diet, it matters what the quality of the food is. Basically eat more plant-based high-quality food and less refined carbohydrates and animal fat. So go ahead and sprinkle olive oil on everything if it makes you happy.

Yes, eating to satiety makes it much easier to sustain a diet. With low carb, it helps to eat lots of healthy fat and food with lots of highly bio-available nutrients.

I mean, that exact same criticism applies to every diet. Caloric restriction, intermittent fastin, pescaterianism/vegetarianism/veganism, etc.

There are 3 options:

Eat to live, rather than love to eat. Treat nutrition as a utility and not entertainment.
Learn to enjoy healthy eating. Not just the mouth feel and taste, but appreciating how much better you feel for the ~21 hours of the day you don't spend eating.
Eat all the terrible things. Enjoy the taste and mouth feel. Laugh, and grow fat.
