The ones that work are based on that simple fact : less calories in and more calories out = loss of weight.

Actually for people who are obese "Eat less, exercise more" is the least simple thing imaginable. Sometimes complicated regimes with crazy rules can seem far simpler. You know the simplest path, they know the simplest path, but walking the path and knowing the path are completely different.
And, there is always the possibility that it's not actually the simplest path. Obesity is not a disease, it's a symptom of poor health. Simply Exercising more or eating less does not solve the underlying lack of health. Sure you can lose some weight by eating 500 fewer calories a day, but if you eat junk 500 fewer calories of junk do not make a health promoting diet.
I think the simplest path to weight loss is to be healthy, eat well, exercise often, get sunshine, and get plenty of social interaction, not to count calories.
