I don't know what that fad thing is, but forget about fads and diets. Just cut carbs. It's simple.
The hardest part is the first month or two.
After that you will feel terrible if you eat junk food again and realize how bad all those carbs were for you.
Fats are important. If you go low carb and low fat, you will die. Saturated fats are good for you also.
This is a silly assertion. Some of the very healthiest foods on earth are carbs, carbs are NOT by definition 'junk food.'
OP, you'd do better limiting (or eliminating) saturated fats, sugars (including alcohol) and ultra processed foods from your diet and building a diet based around fiber from fruits, veggies, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Fiber stimulates the natural production of the same hormones those expensive, side effect laden GLP1 meds mimic and keeps you feeling full much longer on relatively low calorie foods. Yes we are omnivores, but we evolved as primates whose primary diet would be plants and that is what is best for our gut health and our other organ systems particularly cardiovascular.
