Most typically "dieting" means eating in a carefully planned way in an attempt to reduce excess body fat and decrease bodily measurements and clothing size. In this sense, there are a number of so-called diets that can be used as part of a regimen of dieting. Also in this sense, excessive dieting is related to anorexia nervosa and bulimia, which are life-threatening conditions. There are many organisations, such as Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig, that support weight loss efforts on a for-profit basis, by providing prepared food or special menus and individual or group counselling sessions, as well as teaching exercise routines, with the aim of improving clients' lifestyles and enabling them to maintain successful weight loss. It is highly questionable as to the overall long-term success of these diets, however, as many people gain the weight they've lost back - and then some.

Certain religions, including Judaism and Islam, also impose strict restrictions on diet, but these are not usually thought of as "dieting".

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.
