I read what this person is saying and got me a little worried. What if what he's saying is true about low-carb diet? I hope this person just doesn't really know what he's talking about. I hope thats the case. If you want to go to the web page where I found this here it is:

Weight Loss - How I Discovered The Proper Method
From low carb high protein, to high carb low fat, to the strangely popular high fat diet, I experimented with all available options. I found that certain meal plans have some very effective ideas, but none offered ALL of the necessary ingredients to quickly, permanently, conveniently, and SAFELY eliminate fat.

Low Carbohydrate Diet?
For example, the low carbohydrate diet plan will cause a reduction in body weight within the first 1-2 weeks, but the majority of weight lost is water / muscle, and NOT FAT. Fat loss will follow, but unfortunately it is accompanied by a metabolic slowdown. The initial reduction of water/muscle actually DECREASES THE RATE AT WHICH YOU BURN CALORIES and, as a result, you will GAIN BACK EVERY LOST POUND ONCE YOU INTEGRATE CARBOHYDRATES BACK INTO YOUR DIET! It is not possible to follow a no-carbohydrate diet long term (it is unhealthy to do so), and inevitably you will find yourself introducing them into your regular eating plan after several weeks. Never forget -- LOSING BODY FAT IS YOUR ONLY GOAL, as reducing muscle tissue and water weight DOES NOT improve your appearance, and in fact greatly slows or even prohibits the fat loss process (which is why so many are "stuck" with no further results). In addition, weight loss on a low carbohydrate plan produces a smaller version of your former self rather than enhancing your physical appearance (due to muscle loss, which eliminates tone, and creates a sagging, unappealing body structure). Lastly, once you begin to follow a normal, carb based diet (a low carb plan such as the Atkins diet is IMPOSSIBLE and DANGEROUS to follow long term), within several months, YOU WILL LIKELY FIND YOURSELF FATTER THAN BEFORE YOU STARTED THE DIET, and you'll quickly search for a new routine. Low carb diets are NOT a permanent fat loss solution!

Not Just Weight Loss -- FAT LOSS IS KEY!
Always remember that weight is composed of water, muscle, and FAT -- your ONLY goal is to shed excess fat, as MUSCLE is essentially a calorie burning furnace (and will help you to quickly and permanently eliminate ALL excess body weight, EVEN WHILE RESTING). Any diet that restricts carbs in favor of high protein OR excessive fat intake is COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, and does NOT permanently eliminate body fat. In fact, most find themselves FATTER due to carbohydrate depriving diet plans.

High Carbohydrate Diet?
HIGH carbohydrate diet plans produce a different, yet EQUALLY INEFFECTIVE, response. In cases of high carbohydrate ingestion, the body actually SUPPRESSES FAT BURNING HORMONES, PREVENTING the release of stored calories (FAT). In fact, the only enzymes produced through a high carbohydrate focus are FAT STORING in nature (insulin), meaning unless calories are very low, you will ACTUALLY GAIN FAT ON A HIGH CARBOHYDRATE PLAN! Even if you were to sharply reduce calories, the excess carbohydrate concentration will continue to prevent the release of stored fat, but will gladly burn up muscle tissue (as protein content in such diet routines is extremely low). Thus, common diet philosophies that concentrate on a high carbohydrate, low protein/fat basis provide results similar to that of low carbohydrate / high protein structures -- muscle is lost, and fat percentage INCREASES!

You Must Control Insulin, But Not Using Today's Popular "No-Carbohydrate" Diet
One of the many keys to permanent weight loss is controlling the hormone "insulin". Through proper caloric division, food selection, and protein/carb percentages (where carbs are a part of diet, but properly balanced with protein), coupled with a potent exercise routine (if you wish to accelerate results), not only will you reduce overall insulin secretion, but also cause an immediate release of stored calories (FAT) into the blood stream. Insulin is essentially a FAT storage hormone and, if not properly manipulated through dietary variables, will PREVENT fat loss, even on a low caloric intake (which is the main reason why high carbohydrate diet plans will NEVER promote fat reduction, REGARDLESS of what many "dietary experts" have claimed). In addition, suppressing insulin reduces both blood pressure and cholesterol readings, while preventing/curing diabetic symptoms, all of which are potentially deadly health issues.
