You are wrong. You should research Atkins. Leaving Atkins does result in some weight gain, but never more than 10 pounds. For someone like me who gained a lot of weight due to a combination of breaking up with a girlfriend at a time when my metabolism was slowing, Atkins is the best solution. I was 216 pounds and I'm trying to get to 160 pounds. I currently weigh 191. Atkins also has benefits that many people don't discuss, like lower cholesterol, and breaking the sugar habit. When I get to, or below my goal weight, I will probably resume a normal diet, but without low-value carbs like bread, pasta, and sugar that do little good for you.
