Reducing your daily calorie input from the food you eat is a well known strategy based on the scientific principle that the amount of calories you consume each day should be no more than the amount you use each day, rather they should be less. If you consistently take in slightly less calories than you expend then you should gradually shed weight as your body uses its reserves.

Rather than focussing just on losing weight you should perhaps be thinking about losing weight while remaining healthy. This is the sensible way of looking at losing weight, and, immediately cuts out fad diets, crash diets, and pills of all sorts.

If you have previously tried to lose weight and failed why was that?

If you are one of the many people trying to lose weight, have been dieting for a few weeks, but seen no apparent weight loss, it could be due, in part at least, to hidden calories. If you are on a proper, healthy diet, then you can expect it to take a few weeks before any noticeable difference occurs. Your weight can vary by up a couple of pounds from week to week anyway depending on various factors such as hormones, so until you are confident that you have lost 3-4 pounds you will not be happy.

Fad diets and crash diets, such as the cabbage soup diet and Hollywood diet, are not only unhealthy but also tend to result in rebound weight gain.
