This has been my experience trying out different diets:
I was fortunate to grow up eating mostly home-cooked meals.
Back in college, a guy came and gave a talk about how anyone who isn't vegan is basically crazy. I figured I'd give it a shot purely out of curiosity.
After college, my first job was in Okinawa, Japan. Sushi and sashimi are cheap, fresh, and delicious there!
After hearing about Dr. Love's diet, I decided to give it a shot.
After reading 80/10/10 by Dr. Graham, I decided to give it a shot. I actually still practice this every so often for about a week at a time for all the benefits of fasting without any of the difficulty. Not sustainable as a long term diet but still great short term.
After hearing about Dr. Peterson's diet, especially since he's not particularly interested in nutrition, I decided to give it a shot.
Incorporating lessons learned from all of the above, I now eat very simple meals made with very few ingredients. I typically don't eat breakfast, but usually have some pu-erh tea. Whenever I first get hungry in the middle of the day, I usually eat a meal made up of one type of fruit (example: 7 oranges). When I get hungry at the end of the day, I'll eat some kind of meat cooked just enough to be safe to eat (example: rare steak), seasoned only with salt, with 3-5 poached eggs, with an avocado/some spinach/tomato/sweet potato on the side. Have stopped eating rice, pasta, and the like. That being said, if I'm in a social setting I'll discreetly try to stick to this, but don't really care if I have to deviate every once in a while. So I follow this diet about 95% of the time, because I feel great doing it!
