That is what makes diets such a great business plan. 90% of people who are needing to lose weight will go through the following phases:

Need to lose weight, search the latest fad diet...
Buy a book, buy different food(usually costly), juicers/blenders, cooking equipment, shakers, seminars, audiobooks etc etc etc. $$$$$
Off they go and for a few weeks they have big success, life is good, focus, dedication.
A few months down the way they realise it is not sustainable. Because the method of dieting is cutting the input, drastically creating a ridiculous caloric deficit.
Then the person fails and gives up.
A few months later there is an incident that makes the person think that they need to lose weight again. Wash rinse and repeat.

How many people have been to an actual dietician before spending money on a fad diet from a usually unqualified source?

 

The real irony ....

 

A dietitian is not that expensive.  Often covered by the medical aid.

 

Cutting out the snacks and processed foods more than make up this cost in a short period.

 

Weight loss is just an added benefit of eating healthy.  My dietitian actually recommended I only use a scale every few weeks.

'eat less, poo more' @Gnarly ca. 2017

Slightly simplified but always works for me 🤪

I'm one of those that the strict 'caveman' approach works for BUT ... When I do longer endurance type rides/events I take energy bars/gel/juice during the event. 

Short intense stuff I don't bother and just deal with the bonk afterwards 

Probably not much use to man or beast though ....

In my training for the Ronde van Swartberg I was at 81kg 64yo (177cm), in my build up in 4 months I lost 5kg by eating more carbs before during and after my rides, (came down to about 15-20% body fat.) On my rest days I focused more on protein and eating less carbs. I drank very little alcohol, rather doing the 'zero' thing. I did my best recent years 'fatigued' numbers' (105% ftp on an 18min climb) 4 hours into a 70% I.f. gravel ride with 350g of nett carbs in me, mid April. Fueling at typical weekend warrior 40-60g per hour I could never have done that. Sometimes you gotta do what you just gotta do.
