How do the "magic diets"?
Whenever a diet significantly reduced the amount of calories your body adjusts to incorporate will cause weight loss. The question is how long and how this was done.
In general, the principles, the very low calorie diets produce weight loss that results from this restriction. However, soon after there was a "rebound effect" which makes the weight regain or even gain weight more than before. This happens because most of the weight loss does not occur by the reduction of body fat but water and glycogen, an energy source that is easily replenished with food.
Furthermore, when the body is faced with a sharp decrease in calorie intake (less than 1200 calories a day), defends spending less energy and stored fat to survive on less food. But later, when, inevitably, it takes a food more "normal", the body still continues with its "low", continues to store energy and spending less, leading to a further increase in weight.
Finally, not being designed to meet the needs of individuals, over time, these diets are becoming very boring and difficult to sustain. Plans that rely only on an individual's will, sooner or later abandoned.
