When someone is trying to lose weight, the approach that generally has the best outcome in the long-term is slow, moderate weight loss with an emphasis on forming new habits for life and making small changes that are manageable and tolerable, such as eating a salad before each meal and adding 10 minutes of exercise each day as a starting point. Extreme diets which restrict or cut out whole food groups (low carb diets, low fat diets) can produce fast results but people on these diets tend to gain the weight back over time.
