Fad diets are junk. All you need to do is eat a healthy balanced diet, which includes healthy carbs.

Fad diets don't work because they're not sustainable long term. People who fail at dieting think of a diet as a short term plan. Then they end up gaining all the weight back once they go off the diet. It needs to be a permanent lifestyle change for the rest of your life if you want to keep the weight off for good. Fad diets therefore don't work because they are short term, not permanent lifestyle changes.
