175 lbs - lost 32 lbs (without any stall) in 6 months, never cheated

To Maripooh:
Regarding your question. I would recommend you to read the success stories and the journals of those people. You will see how this "diet" became their WOL.

As my own experience: I came from an LC family, from an LC WOL. As a result I lost the excess weight after my three pregnancies in my 20s very easily, and kept the same weight for 20 years. Now, that in the last two years as a sign of aging, my metabolism slowed down, I lost the excess weight very easily again, and back to the very comfortable WOL - with 60-90 carbs. (Having a very vigorous exercise program.)
