I've been doing the carnivore diet. I occasionally "cheat" with veg and chocolate. And even vodka. But it does not seem to impact weight loss. I also have days of super low calories. But I do not keep to low calorie days. Its important to confuse the body by having alternate days of super low calories and higher calories, but consistent with hardly any if at all NO carbs.
A low calorie day for me would be 1 coffee with heavy cream, at night plain pork rinds (1 whole bag) with ranch powder dip powder 1/4th of the packet in the bag. Dark chocolate about 2 of the squares from the giant bar with almonds, and ample water. That would be it for my low calorie day.
On my "eat" day -- coffee with heavy cream, bunless burger with everything on it (yes veg too). OR A chicken, Italian sausage, parmesan, pesto, butter, heavy cream with black olives dish (as much as I want) with 2 squares of dark chocolate. Ample water.
I started out this diet at 222 lbs, today I am 202. The key it to eat when actually hungry. Fight the hunger at first with water. When water simply is not enough then opt to eat, and in small portions (in the beginning) and 1 portion. Once your stomach shrinks, then you eat as much as you want and you'll find you can ONLY eat in small portions.
By forcing the body to wait to eat it helps to shrink the stomach, as well as the low calorie days helps shrink the stomach so on eat days you actually find it hard to consume large amounts of food.
Portion control is key. Only AFTER you have helped to shrink the stomach can you then allow yourself to eat as much as you want, NOT BEFORE!
