Roger,

Interesting sounding, but the description of the study made it unclear to me
what was really happening.

How did they add the extra protein? Were they eating packaged foods supplied
by the study as happens in some nutritional studies? Were they eating
whatever they wanted?

The original diet is described only as "extremely low calorie" with no
indication of the nutritional breakdown and whether it lead to
cannibalisation of the dieter's own body protein. The diet was also very
short, only a couple weeks.

Generalizing from this study to what happens when low carbers go off their
diet, might be a mistake.
The effect of eating a lot of carbohydrate after a long period of carb
restriction might result in a much bigger weight gain no matter how much
protein intake accompanies it. We could only know if a study was done with
long term (not 3 week) low carb dieters.
