THE THREE THINGS EVERY SUCCESSFUL DIET MUST DO ARE:

#1 KEEP METABOLISM HIGH:  You want to keep those metabolic fires burning.  You want to keep your basal metabolic rate as high as possible.  Basal metabolic rate is defined as the rate at which your body burns calories 24 hours a day--even when you are at rest.  Basal metabolic rate high = easier to lose weight and easier to keep it off.

#2 PREVENT LOSS OF MUSCLE MASS:  When you lose muscle, you also dramatically decrease your basal metabolic rate.  That's because muscle burns off calories more rapidly than any other tissue in the body.

#3 TEACH TRUE LIFESTYLE CHANGE:  If you think of a diet as something you have to do until you can go back to living the way you used to live, that weight is just going to come back on.  You've got to make PERMANENT LIFESTYLE CHANGES if you want to keep the weight off.
