I always tell people that the best diet is the one that works for you personally. I know a lot of people who habe had success with IM, Keto, Carnivore etc. But personally, I just like a balanced diet and measuring my food. 

For some reason, this works better for me than meal planning and nutrient counting (although, I'll have to do a post about the extreme nutrient optimization I did in college).

I tried waiting in the morning but I just don't like it. I have success with meal planning and calorie counting. I honestly just don't like feeling hungry.

I'm curious what attempts at fasting you've tried. I basically stop eating around 6pm and then delay eating the next day until I get really hungry or until my wife cooks. I'm not very rigorous about duration.
