I've been following a low-carb diet on and off for decades, and more recently, have stuck to it carefully. I eat proteins, fats, lots of veggies, and a small amount of Frankenstuff like sweeteners and bread-ish stuff. 90% of my intake is home-made dishes, almost no prepared crap. And there's no semi-starvation involved.
My numbers are great and I will continue to eat this way forever. It keeps my weight where i like it, and my energy levels good. I don't consider it a fad diet.
