I was just reading up on this, as some had claimed success on this diet. However, with all diets it seems they would 'rebound' at some point. Where they start tappering off the diet and then gaining again, unless...... you up your activity level and balance out your lifestyle to maintain.

Ultimately, moderation and lifestyle change, is what leads to the long term success.
For every gram of protein you take in, your body gets rid of 4 grams of water. That is why with the high protein diet it is mostly water you lose.
