Few people face reality for very long. Any diet will work. Most people are all in for a month or two and then fall off the wagon. Eating out is popular. The other night we were at Olive Garden. They show calories in the menu. Chicken parm which I ordered is listed at 1200 calories. That is like twice as many calories as you should eat for diner. They of course will sell you desert,drinks and refill the bread sticks.

Energy to run your body comes from sugar-carbohydrates. You can also use fat and protein as energy but there are issues with that as well. Insulin is used to store sugar.
When you are getting exercise the sugar is used for energy and does not use insulin.

Losing weight is not easy to do long term but it can cure type II diabetes or at least improve it.
