Someone recently did a study on the Atkins fad diets and concluded that people lose fat because the diet tricks them into eating less calories then they burn (of course, it's not all fat when the weight scale is going down, you dehydrate your muscles/skin as well I believe). That's fine and dandy, but you can do that by learning how to eat and exercize properly, and let me tell you, I'll take the diet I'm on right now over hamburgers with no buns any day of the week.
These diets are bad for your health man, what's the benefit of losing 20 pounds if you're all sickly?
