Well in the end it is a matter of deficit, so what does it matter what
the
*******ization is?

Okay, what's the difference from what standpoint the person gains back the
weight? Whether it's eating to much coming off (or staying on for that
matter) a low-fat or low-carb diet, the result is the same.

There is a huge difference. No one will stay on a restricted calorie diet.
You cannot lose weight be limiting fat intake and still eating until you are
full. Low fat diets only work to lose weight when you also restrict portions
i.e. caloric intake. So, restricted caloric intake produces a yo yo weight
situation with each upward movement an increase over the beginning weight.
This is a fact that RDs refuse to accept or even discuss.

The result is not the same for low carb versus low fat.. Restricting caloric
intake (being hungry) can only be maintained for a limited amount of time.
The amount of time depends on each individual. But the longest I have ever
seen was two years. I watched a co-worker go on ultra slim fast for 5
months. His was the worst example of rebound weight gain I had ever seen. He
went 110 pounds over where he started.

It is relatively easy for a person to stay on Atkins for life. My wife has
been on it for 6 years. I have been doing it for 5 years. We have never
"gone off" this diet.

As I am sure you must know, eating the Atkins way is pretty easy. My wife is
very creative with her cooking and we eat very well. Why would I ever want
to quit this diet?
