Really losing weight isn't about losing weight quickly for two weeks. It's about reducing fat, preserving muscle mass and creating a routine that you can sustain.
The difference between those who succeed and those who give up tends to be less in willpower and more in the structure of the plan.
Summary: the best plan is the one that you understand, can execute and adjust according to your evolution.
Why extreme dieting fails
Very restrictive diets increase hunger, anxiety and the chance of abandonment. Even when weight drops quickly, the body can lose muscle and return to where it started later.
Training and nutrition need to talk
Training creates stimulation for strength and body composition. Food supports energy, recovery and deficit when the goal is weight loss. Separated, the two lose strength.
Consistency comes from possible routine
A good plan respects schedules, preferences, work, sleep and social life. The less the plan seems like punishment, the greater the chance of continuation.
