After being stalled for years on LCHF I decided to try the Potato Hack diet this year which is essentially fat free, and just potatoes with some fat-free condiments - I use salt, pepper, garlic powder, cider vinegar, mustard, salsa.
Clearly it's not a "for life" eating plan on its own, but I find it super satisfying. The potatoes taste good, my blood sugar readings are way better than on LCHF, and I've lost nearly 40 pounds since incorporating it into my WOE.
I think it's the fat PLUS carbs which is the really bad combo. I love LCHF but I think the Potato Hack plan may certainly become part of my long-term eating strategy. Sagehill here on these forums used it for a while where she did PH during the week and LCHF on weekends, and had a lot of success with that. I can see doing that too - sort of a 5:2 diet in reverse.
