I've been on a no starch diet for non-weight related health reasons and lost a stone in 3 months. No pasta, no bread, no rice etc so you make do with a lot of veg and lean meat. It's basically no/very low carbs but not keto per se. It's tough to begin with but you get used to it. No fasting, not full carnivore either cos there are vits you can get from plenty of veg too and that makes it a bit more interesting too.

PS it'll feel a bit like fasting anyway cos to begin with you will be hungry AF.
Thanks I'm going to have to give it a go! I don't mind mostly protein and vegetables, the family looks at me crazy when I just wants eggs or steak for dinner
In my case replacing sugary stuff by nuts really made a difference on how hungry I feel. I used to eat lots of cereals (not the worst one but still) in the morning. I replaced that with 0% Greek yogurt and nut mix. I also replaced sweeter snacks by a handful of nuts. Apples are also good to feel less hungry.
