A fad diet or diet cult is a diet that makes promises of weight loss or other health advantages such as longer life without backing by solid science, and in many cases are characterized by highly restrictive or unusual food choices.

Celebrity endorsements are frequently used to promote fad diets, which generate significant revenue for the creators from the sale of associated products.

Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated and supervised fashion to decrease, maintain, or increase body weight.

In other words, it is conscious control or restriction of the diet.

A restricted diet is often used by those who are overweight or obese, sometimes in combination with physical exercise, to reduce body weight.

Some people follow a diet to gain weight (usually in the form of muscle).

Diets can also be used to maintain a stable body weight and improve health.

In particular, diets can be designed to prevent or treat diabetes.

Fat is one of the three main macronutrients, along with carbohydrate and protein.' Fats, also known as triglycerides, are esters of three fatty acid chains and the alcohol glycerol.

The terms "oil", "fat", and "lipid" are often confused.

"Oil" normally refers to a fat with short or unsaturated fatty acid chains that is liquid at room temperature, while "fat" may specifically refer to fats that are solids at room temperature.

"Lipid" is the general term, as a lipid is not necessarily a triglyceride.

Fats, like other lipids, are generally hydrophobic, and are soluble in organic solvents and insoluble in water.

Anti-obesity medication or weight loss drugs are all pharmacological agents that reduce or control weight.

These drugs alter one of the fundamental processes of the human body, weight regulation, by altering either appetite, or absorption of calories.

The main treatment modalities for overweight and obese individuals remain dieting and physical exercise.

Combustion or burning is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

Combustion in a fire produces a flame, and the heat produced can make combustion self-sustaining.

Combustion is often a complicated sequence of elementary radical reactions.

Solid fuels, such as wood, first undergo endothermic pyrolysis to produce gaseous fuels whose combustion then supplies the heat required to produce more of them.

Combustion is often hot enough that light in the form of either glowing or a flame is produced.

A simple example can be seen in the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen into water vapor, a reaction commonly used to fuel rocket engines.

This reaction releases 242 kJ/mol of heat and reduces the enthalpy accordingly (at constant temperature and pressure):
