I am convinced that most weight-loss diets that succeed (even if only for a time) work because they limit you to a subset of foodstuffs. The diets substitute "have willpower to eat less of everything you already eat" (which doesn't work for most people) with "limit yourself to this palette of food that you will get bored of very quickly", which people seem to do better at.
