I feel like rather than diet fads, for weight loss. People just need to learn about Ketosis[0] and how to trigger it in your body (hint: have a tiny amount of carbs).[2]
Your body turns into a fat burning machine. Any way you can achieve it without feeling like you are starving is going to be an effective weight loss strategy. Paleo, Atkins, Lemon/Honey/Coffee/whatever detox, etc. You cut out carbs, your liver starts burning fat.
But beware: They (the scientific community) haven't reached consensus on whether you should do this long term[1]. It seems to be trending towards "it's probably okay" though. I think it puts more strain on your kidney's (because of the ketons)
