my wife cannot lose weight with anything even close to a simple carb. She can have high fiber veg in her diet and super low sugar fruit (lemon, lime, avocado) but that is it. fat and protein seem to not be an issue. she does have low thyroid though.
Does this mean she is finding success avoiding carbs? If she is having trouble I recommend getting a CGM and using the biofeedback to keep the line flat - it’s an amazing diet tool and I cannot recommend it enough.
some but not enough. She has only had significant results from extreme things like a medical liquid diet she was on and the cabbage soup one. even then going back to anything approaching a normal diet, even with low calories, results in gain. She also has medical issues that make to much fat or things like cabbage I think because of sulfur content. We actually have this annoying thing where her thyroid tests have her in normal range but just barely into it and she has symptoms of low like the weight, being cold, hair loss, dry skin, puffy face, etc. but the doctor won’t increase her thyroid prescription but is giving her one for those new weight loss drugs (which are more expensive and not working for her). We are american so a non functional medical system is par for the course.

I just made a post about the carbohydrate-insulin model of obesity https://hackertalks.com/post/7617450 it might be helpful for her.
If she can tolerate a ketogenic diet that might be a option to explore.
unfortunately fat is an issue with her liver. She tends to have to do high protein, high fiber.
