> the best diet is the one that works for you

Exactly

I always tell people that the best diet is the one that works for you personally. I know a lot of people who habe had success with IM, Keto, Carnivore etc. But personally, I just like a balanced diet and measuring my food. 

Aardvark

For some reason, this works better for me than meal planning and nutrient counting (although, I'll have to do a post about the extreme nutrient optimization I did in college).
