don't do it.
The low carb diets do not kill your energy level at all. When your on the diet you don't have the bloodsugar peaks and valleys and so most people actually have more energy.

If you go back to a BALANCED diet you will not gain the weight back. If you go back to the typical American diet you will gain it back but since that is what got you overweight in the first place what else would you expect.
