Increasing exercise never did it for me, and what astounded me was I stopped exercising for a while when I started a LCHF diet some years ago. Obviously, I adhered to it quite strictly for the first few months, and I saw my extra weight bleed off in about 6 to 8 weeks.
After those results I was very loath to go back to "normal" eating, and it inspired me to largely stick with it the last few years, and the weight has not returned. Basically, I cut out anything with added sugar or processed foods. I did not pile fat on but did go for full cream milk, full cream cheese, etc. The "not removed fats" actually give the food, coffee, etc flavour, so there was no need to add sugar. It is not a zero carb diet, so I am on whole wheat type breads and do have sweet potatoes, etc.
