You have created a strawman and attacked a nonexistent demographic. You might be underestimating the vast majority of people. When someone is overweight and they say calorie counting doesn't work that mean it really doesn't work. They're not saying they do it perfectly with no results. They're saying that they can't stick with it. Then they try a "fad diet" and suddenly they are eating less calories but they no longer get overwhelming cravings or feel drained. I think we need more fad diets to get people to try different things because so far we haven't made any progress on the perfect weight loss "just eat less" plan. The more diets we have the more likely someone is to try something and find something that works for them.
