4.  Anticandidia Diet-
B- This diet is attempts to starve the candida by eliminating sugar in every form as well as fermented foods. Naturally fermented foods using probiotic cultures are highly recommended in the fight against candida.  Avoiding these foods also lowers carb consumption, which can help people balance blood sugar and hormones.  It may also help in weight control in some people.

6.  Low Carb Diet (Atkins & South Beach) Most popular diets right now.  Mimic fasting or starvation by reducing carb intake enough to induce a physical state called Ketosis in which the body metabolism speeds up and hunger urges are suppressed.
B- With the combination of hunger suppression, consuming fewer and burning fat reserves.  People on these diets lose wight
D-side- Many people end up having kidney problems over the years.  I do know someone who ended up in the hospital because of these diets.
