I guess the key that I'm trying to get at here is find a diet approach that works for you.
Low-carb diets "trick" you (again, I'm going to use that phrase) into eating less calories. When you eat less calories, you will lose weight. So, sure, it's great that it worked for you, but there's easier ways for most people to lose weight.
What other inaccuracies were you talking about?
