It is the same as smoke cessation. You smoked a pack a day or two. And then you cut down. Or quit entirely. You crave it like hell... and the problem with food is, you cannot quit it. You have to eat but you have to just eat less... If you want I can send you studies that shows underreporting of food eaten during diets and then blaming diets don't work (yes, they exist). Not sure if there is a study about people giving up on a diet (that counts as THAT diet did not work) and so forth.
A diet works because it will restrict your intake. You put less in, your storage has to get used up and voila, the diet worked. If you then eat too much again, you will gain weight. Virtually every person I saw that was on a diet did that yoyo spiel. I am sorry, the diet worked but you decided to eat too much again. Not the diets fault...
Oh, and I was overweight in junior high. No bullying or nothing but it did not work with the girls. So I ate less and boom... that was 25ish years ago. Not rocket science.
