All diets work in the long term because they restrict calories, all of
them without exception. Note also that calories made the difference, cut
your intake in half and x percent over time of weight will be lost. All
experts regardless of diet used advise not exceeding around 2 lbs per week
tops loss to avoid long term problems, except in the case of those very
obese where the next step is surgury if the extreem diet usually done in a
hospital is not effective. These people, like people in the camps had
similar experiences with food obsession but it is questionable that any
principle can be generalized from it that applies to the typical person
wanting to lose some wieight and keep it off. Btw, not a mention of
carbs.
