Why do all fad diets seem to work? Because they all share a common factor: they cut out junk food, leading to a reduction in overall calorie intake. When choosing a diet, the focus shouldn't be on what yields the fastest weight loss but on what you can maintain long-term. The goal is to make your eating habits a sustainable lifestyle, not just a temporary diet. That’s the only way to lose weight and keep it off.

Every diet should include enough protein to preserve muscle mass, as muscles act as a buffer for carbohydrate intake and help maintain metabolism. When you eat less, your body adapts by lowering your metabolism to conserve energy, which can lead to a plateau and make it harder to continue losing weight without further reducing calories.
