Their "dieting" history is the key, Faith. We have to stop "dieting" and learn to live a healthy lifestyle that includes low-carbing. I've been low-carbing for over 2 1/2 years. I have never regained any of the weight I lost. Instead I initially dropped about 30 pounds and maintained that drop for about 20 months, then I used a low-cal version of low-carbing to 'diet' and lose another 25 pounds, which I have been maintaining for a couple months now. The only diet I went off was to stop lowering my calories and eat a normal low-carb diet. I expect I'll go back to low-cal to drop some more weight one of these days, but I'm too busy now to mess with it.

Barry Sears is a crackpot in my mind -- especially now. His program didn't work to start because it was so complicated and he got it wrong anyway, and now he's blaming low-carb for the failure of his idotic drivel. (That didn't come out right, but I think you know what I mean.)
