Exactly, and this is why diets don't work.
If you gradually eat less but better - which could also include reducing carbs, if that's your thing - and do some excercise you'll achieve long term benefits; if you take on faddy diets I guarantee you'll fall off it at some point.
But anyway, it's good news so far.
