There are as many different recommendations for supposedly successful diets as there are people trying to lose weight. What works for one person will not necessarily work for another due to metabolic differences and lifestyle factors. Many 'fad' diets become popular for a short space of time - the grapefruit diet as well as Atkins are good examples of this. On the grapefruit diet, the consumption of grapefruit with each meal was said to increase the metabolic rate, burning fat and enabling rapid weight loss. Like most fad diets, the grapefruit diet was eventually found to be entirely ineffective, and it was replaced by the next fad - Atkins. Atkins encouraged cutting out carbohydrates and encouraged foods such as red meat, which led to a strong commercial effort to popularize beef.

Dieting has hazards that are rarely pointed out. Yo-yo dieting is particularly dangerous and ineffective, because it decreases the metabolism, leading to an immediate weight gain once the caloric restrictions are eased. Some dieters resort to over the counter (OTC) and/or prescribed medications to improve their results, but many of these have been proven to be extremely hazardous to the health (and consequently withdrawn from sale) so consumers need to be wary.

Dieting is the practice or habit of eating (and drinking) in a regulated fashion with the aim of losing (or, sometimes, gaining) weight, or in some cases to regulate the amounts of certain nutrients. One of the first known person that successfully lost weight by dieting was William Banting in 1863.
