May I add that is just one person's (a doctor) point of view. I have been on a LCHF diet for a good while now and KNOW that this works.
Works for some not others. The science may be there but not everyone is going to feel the same way or lose the same way. It worked for you and countless others, didn't work for me, and quite a few people I know. Everyone is different and require different approaches.
Three words: just eat less. Figure out a way that makes it "fun" and sustainable for YOU. If it's LCHF, go for it. If it's Twinkies all the day long, go for it. If it's eating a 4 oz piece of chicken breast every day, go for it.
It's not so much about low carb as it is eliminating processed and refined "food-like" substances, which are almost always loaded in empty calories, refined grains, added sugar, and god knows what else.
Carbs should come from vegetables and a small amount of fruit. Caloric reduction is only part of the story. Anyone can restrict their intake and lose weight (even on Twinkies or Big Macs), but it is not sustainable over the long-term as old habits and cravings always rear their heads again.
Focus on the nutrient density of your food, not the number of calories. Doing this is self-correcting. By default, nutrient-dense foods are the best foods for stabilizing appetite, reducing junk food cravings, balancing hormones, reducing sugars and refined grains, establishing beneficial gut flora, and improving health.
Your caloric intake will naturally decrease, but you will also be increasing your intake of nutrients. Win-win.

And old habits and cravings are the reason a lot of people doing a low carb diet fail. I generally do not eat any refined grains, but sometimes that artisan pizza, or fresh sour dough bread with balsamic and olive oil, or a pasta dish is calling my name. Also I enjoy wine and an occasional beer. Moderation has and always will be the key. Omitting food groups messes with people's minds and inevitably their body. The KEY is to find out what works for the individual. In dieting one size does not fit all.

I agree^^. As a type 2 diabetc, I eat more healthy than the majority of people I know. But I do enjoy my morning sourdough waffles (true sourdough, made from scratch) and some occasional processed food like blue corn chips or dark chocolate squares. And yes, I like some wine with dinner. But I do watch my overall carb intake and eat small meals. That is what works for me. I just cannot omit all carbs or all wheat or whatever is the current "devil of the day." I can eat like this the rest of my life, because I never say I can't have something. I have no trouble maintaining my weight this way as well.
I went low carb and I burned way more than fat. Lost a lot of muscle and felt sick. Things didn't get better until I added starch back into my diet. While I agree that most people don't get enough fat and protein in their diet there is nothing wrong with a little potatoes, rice and beans and in my case I found out these carbs were essential to recover from my workouts
I didn't even watch the video, I've seen this guy before and I'm sure I watched 100 videos like this back when I was drinking the paleo koolaid. I still support a modified paleo lifestyle but at the end of the day, this diet causes people to eliminate some foods they shouldn't be eliminating.
My top 3 take aways from my low-carb experiment 1) Steak, eggs, bacon etc..All are A-Okay. 2) I'm much better off when I avoid Dairy, wheat and sugar 3) If I'm lifting weights or doing any strenuous activity I had better be eating my starch
