I would probably say "South Beach," although it’s arguable whether it is actually a fad diet. It doesn’t have the usual marks of a crash diet like really rapid weight loss, extreme calorie restriction or an over-focus on consumption of singular foods like the Grapefruit or Cookie Diet.
In general, South Beach is a fairly sane diet, with an emphasis on high-protein and healthy fats, lots of veggies and some low-GI carbs. It’s much more moderate than Atkins, which is too high in saturated and animal fats, in my opinion.
Best of luck!
I would say the south beach diet as the one………….
volumetrics or satiety
I would agree with the 1st answer, the south beach diet, although i dont thikn its as bad as some of the more dangerous ‘fad’ diets.
I think the one where you only drink water, and don’t eat anything and then exercise and stuff works.
There are a few of them.
1. 5 Factor Diet has celebs all over its site. You eat 5 small meals a day, with 5 ingredients, workout for 25 minutes, and in 5 weeks see top results.

2. Second is The Cookie Diet. You eat 6 cookies a day and dinner. Also popular recently with celebs and cookie lovers

3. Another one is the Caveman Diet. Fruit, berries or vegetables, lean meat, unsalted fish, canned tomatoes, lemon or lime juice, spices and coffee or tea without milk or sugar, for three weeks.
