There are more effects on someone than the weight loss. What you eat affects hunger, hormones, blood sugar, inflammation, bowel movements, energy, and more. This graphic is reductionist to the point of being deceptive.

Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Where is plant-based?
The list seems to only be for dangerous, marketable diets. LOL
Oh my bad:
Plant Based | A diet made up of only plants | by creating a caloric deficit
https://www.jandonline.org/content/positionPapers that is not the current position of the academy and hasn'tbeen for a long time. you should read the studies on plant based diets before spreading misinformation.
You're saying my vegan diet saves animal lives and makes me feel less guilty by creating a caloric deficit???
Just can't stop winning tbh
Intermittent fasting is not just a calorie deficit, it reduces your exposure to insulin, which is an anabolic hormone.
What do anabolic hormones do?
This is such a fucking stupid infographic, it's just straight up misinformation.
I have done keto, my partner was doing Calorie counting at the time and was curious and did the math for me. I was consuming about 150% of my normal pre-diet Calorie intake and losing 500g per day for a month. CICO is flatout not the mechanic used.
Wrong in so many ways.
Yes, diets primarily work by caloric deficit. But if you eat nothing but Snickers and maintain a calory deficit you're gonna have a bad time.
You should read up in low carb, something doctors have recommended for diabetic patients since the 1930's, because of how metabolism works (specifically glycemic response to specific macro nutrients).
This chart is meaningless.
If anyone wants a better layman's understanding, read "The Zone" by Barry Sears (a biochemist). Don't read any other books of his, just the first one from the early 90's.
Always reassuring to suggest a scientist and then say "but don't read anything more recent"
But if you eat nothing but Snickers and maintain a calory deficit you're gonna have a bad time.
But you would lose weight, because of the deficit. It's just that it would be very difficult to maintain that diet for myriad reasons.
