Fasting is the only thing that I've been able to get results with. Then, effective maintenance is low carb without dairy - but even that I can't stick with very long, so I need occasional fasts as I go (every other day, or a 5-7 day fast every quarter).
The problem for me is a I need things to be intense to find them engaging. Interventions need to be radical to get my dopamine going. Calorie counting is too boring for my weird brain.
I've unintentionally been doing OMAD this week and feel pretty great on a relative basis.
I make it intense by putting myself on 1k deficit. Ripping through 2lbs a week keeps me engaged. When it comes to maintenance, forget it, I get bored fast.
It's crazy how different everyone is though. That's why I don't necessarily give diet advice.

When I start getting really lean my energy is awful, but usually it's fine up until the end.
