I'm super happy you found something that worked for you, including this site. I'm realizing having support is key, in addition to knowledge. I'll definitely look at that paper~thanks again so much!
Wishing you all the best. Hugs! 
Re: Why do low-carb dieters fail in the long-term?

OP here. People are misunderstanding Dr. McDougall's argument. He's basically saying: You can lose weight on a keto diet (over a couple of years), but you can't sustain it (for twenty).
So, "I lost weight" is not a counterargument.
===
I see three plausible explanations (some of which were mentioned by others):
Keto is too easy, so its followers are less mentally committed to fitness, so they end up not sticking with it.
Keto dieters slow down their metabolism, so it becomes harder to stay under the calorie budget.
Keto dieters develop long-term deficiencies, start to feel sick and abandon their diets.
===
My own opinions on these:
This might be true in general, but McDougall is showing diet promoters, whose livelihood depends on how they look. Low motivation? idk...
This is actually documented scientifically, but not for keto specifically: If you lose too much weight too fast, you'll mess up your metabolism long-term (The scientists followed up on people who entered "the biggest loser", or some other competition like that. They lowered their metabolism, and ended up regaining all of the weight they lost and then some). On the other hand, normal dieters probably don't lose weight as quickly: @jefmcg is showing us 1lb/week loss, which I believe is good. So, perhaps this does not apply.
This might be true: If you eat nothing but steak, you'll be missing out on a bunch of vitamins and minerals. But if you also eat lots of veggies, this might not be the case.

Re: How to hit targets on vegetarian diet?!
Hi. I often pass the iron recommendations by far. I mostly eat it in oatmeal, enriched pasta, beans, flax seeds and green veggies. As stated before, b12 is a must to supplement, the other b vitamins are not a big problem but if you take a B supplement with all of them it's even better. I also haven't have problems with any other nutrient, except vit D but I take short sun baths and take supplement on winter.
Let us know if you need help with another specific nutrient.
Cheers

Re: Why is the default vitamin E intake set at 15mg daily?
Hi HarryD,
I commented on your question here

Calorie restricting diet
It is the only thing that works for me... I am a binge eater, I can do a months worth of damage to my weight in on setting if left unchecked.
I also have medical conditions that dictate the foods that my body can use.
I have tried all of the named diets and finally realized I was a binge eater and had insulin resistance.
I have cut out as much added sugar from my diet as I can. I limit processed foods and red meat. I use very little added oil.
With the help of Cronometer I am trying to eat around 1000 calories a day. I am a 62 yo male and I lead a primarily sedentary lifestyle due to my health.
I lost a lot of weight a few years ago but some has creep back on.
I will post back to this thread weekly results. First weigh in today at the docs office...

Re: [BUG] Apple Health Sleep Has Many Entries
Thanks for reporting @wdavidow for the meantime, you can opt out of the apple health sleep import by going to settings > apple health and toggling off sleep. We've got our apple health developer looking into this now!
@swomic are you also linked with Oura?

Screen read labels feature?
For example, there are Starbucks items missing from all databases. Starbucks though has the information readily available but it's time consuming to go one by one. Screen reader would scan the nutritional values and "import" them.
