The most important thing when it comes to diets is social proof. That other people have been successful in losing weight with the diet.

Next comes endorsements from authority figures such as doctors, authors of diet books and nutritionists.

People will decide on a diet and then look for facts to rationalize their decision. This is where things like scientific evidence comes in. It will support the decision they have already made.
