Low calorie diets and fasting: When you restrict the number of calories you consume, your body thinks you're starving, so it does everything it can to make sure that it doesn't use precious calories.
Very low calorie diets are never a good choice for long term fat loss as they result in the waste of lean tissue which leads to a slower metabolism and, almost always, subsequent weight gain.
Low calorie diets, as well as weight loss diets that are low in carbohydrates, are associated with greater loss of muscle tissue.
