This is overly reductionist and places the blame on people attempting diets.

Most people I’ve found have simply been given terrible dietary advice (like eat high carb, low fat), which doesn’t work for the vast majority of people (because it elevates insulin levels, making them hungrier), and then they’re blamed later for not sticking to the program.

It’s completely ridiculous, it’s like putting a faithful man in a whorehouse and forcing him to ingest 4 doses of ecstasy. Sure it’s still his fault if he cheats, but are we going to pretend that the context doesn’t matter?

Ecstasy and whorehouses are a poor plan for fidelity, high-carb low-fat is a poor plan for fat loss.
