The standard American diet has too many carbs. This causes your body to release too much insulin. This causes you to partition anything you eat to the fat stores instead of energy. The more fat you store, the more insulin resistant you become. So your body makes more insulin! This is the fat storage hormone. It is a vicious spiral.
And it is not your fault.
He said the only way to reverse this problem is to eat low carb.
He is at burn fat not sugar online and on fb. He doesn’t sell anything. He is just trying to help his patients.

IMO, the standard American diet has too much everything. As far as weight loss, it all comes down to calories burned versus calories consumed. Laws of physics don't have exceptions. The ratio of fat, carbs and protein can make a difference in how you feel including whether or not you feel satisfied after eating. Within the ratio, the choices you make to get the right nutrients and enough bulk to satisfy you makes a difference. If you feel like you are starving, you probably won't stick to the diet. If you feel tired and run down, you probably won't stick to the diet. If your face breaks out like a teenager's, you probably won't stick to the diet.
How you feel determines what you do. What you believe plays a big part in how you feel also.
There can be some change in calories burned due to changes in metabolism but that is usually pretty tweaky, like under 10%. If your metabolism dropped 25% you could still function but with noticeable deficiencies like staggering.
Anyway, IMO the best diet for you is the one you can stick to. There is no one-size-fits-all. I like the 5:2 IF + caloric restriction, which a lot of people think is insane. Works for me, but not for them. I know that it is recommended that you lose slower than I do. That doesn't work for me for purely mental reasons. If I am not seeing progress all the time I feel like there isn't any and give up. Knowing that I should be patient and the changes will come should enable me to stay the course but it just doesn't. Strange how we can realize our wrong thinking and not be able to change it.
