This diet uses fats as energy instead of carbs, which has been proven to cut fat more efficiently and effectively than adding heavy carbs to your diet.

Eat this way 6 days of the week, leaving one day as your cheat day.... eat anything you want, just don't over do it. Guarantee success.
It works, although I didn't eat bacon. I've been trying different diets since last summer. I weighed 185 and tried low carb for the first time. I lost 20 lbs my first month and stayed there while drinking beers three times a week and eating wings twice a week. I was really strict though at the start, I mean dieting is just changing eating habits, why bother if I don't follow the plan.

I ate <20g carbs a day, protein shake in the morning with water, eggs and spinach/broccoli for lunch, taco/chicken salads for dinner and another protein shake before workouts. Honestly it didn't feel very hard to maintain. It gave me big headaches the first couple days but after that I felt pretty level, not as up and down as I do when eating normally.

I tried the gallon of milk a day diet in the winter to put on mass but only lasted 3 days. I had stomach cramps and a lot of phlegm buildup. It's just an easy way to get more calories in without having to eat them. I wouldn't recommend a whole gallon. I just ate more food and put on 30 pounds.

Now I'm low carbing again and I'm down 8 pounds in the last week and a half.

I'd recommend trying diets out for yourself instead of listening to some loud know it all on the internet who probably hasn't tried a diet in his life.
