In the past, the American Diabetes Association guidelines have supported low-fat, calorie-restricted diets as a weight loss method and didn't recommend low-carb diets because of a lack of evidence supporting their safety and effectiveness. The new ADA guidelines state that both low-fat and low-carb diets are equally effective at helping people lose weight over a year. However, new ADA guidelines recommend that low-carb dieters make sure their blood lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides), kidney function, and medication levels are monitored.

There is no doubt that pretty much all diets work to a degree, ie for a while you will lose some wieght.
The key difference is whether the diet actually provides sufficient nutrition or simply deprives therefore generates hunger.
Happy Birthday Dave! hope you enjoyed your day!
