going hungry.
Some bizarre weight loss diets tend to make you starve and provide totally inaquate nutrition. A healthy diet or a safe weight loss plan should always provide a well balanced intake of nutrients and it should not have you walking around hungry all the time either.

Be aware, however, that a low-fat diet will not make you lose weight if the lost calories from the reduced fat intake are somehow "accidentally" replaced by calories from other sources. Those portions should not be increased. The popular South Beach diet can easily be adapted to become a low sarurated fat and no trans-fat diet.
