Re: make sure you do research first

That's the other problem. Research also shows (the research they don't care to show you) that less than 2% of the people that do the Atkins' diet actually keep it off for five years, which means you'll have to keep doing it. Every time you do it you will lose a little more muscle each time. Then eventually your bone density will be negatively affected by this lack of muscle mass on it, bringing upon osteoporosis.

Really?
Wow sounds like after 5 years on this diet there isn't anythng left of a person!
Actually Iknowall, your "facts" are a bit skewed  . If you keep your calorie intake up, you do NOT lose lean muscle. Only on starvation diets or going below your BMR needs does your body resort to burning muscle tissue.
And as far as gaining the weight back. This is a way of life eating habit. Not a crash diet you go on and off of. If you go on ANY diet to lose weight not just DANDR and go off it, I would be willing to bet ANY one would regain the weight they loss, plus a few more pounds to go with it. People jump on and off diets like they change socks. Problem is they don't learn from past mistakes.
In order to keep the wieght off you MUST make a commitment to changing your eating habits for life. Not just for the duration of losing a few pounds.
