If a diet means to eat a few foods, or obssesively rely on some narrow counting technique, it is likely doomed to fail. Also, diets are often assoiciated with what basically is equivalent to starvation and anorexia. If diet means things like eating smaller portions, more veggies, less refined stuff, in other words, broadly eat more healthily, then that diet is better. There is no one good diet. French diets typically involve eating foods thought of as unhealthy, but they eat little and fewer portions. East Asians tend to have traditionally ate more veggies and use meat basically as a seasoning except for special occasions. Whatever works for you is what you should do. But commitment is likely needed no matter what. People just aren't used to certain foods, or not eating until they're not hungry, not until the their stomach are about to burst.
