I can lose 5-8lbs going to a low carb diet, so when I stop, I put on 5-8lbs. But a regular (not low carb) diet would not have had the water loss, so I'd still be at the same level the days after the diet was "broken."
If the diet causes days of binging, then I can see some fat storage afterward, of course.

Don't know LD, never thought that hard about it. I did it only once and was in misery for a long while but I toughed it through. Then once I stopped the low carb thing I gained back very quickly. Keep in mind that my normal daily carb intake for my 130lb frame is around 150-200g so I am not a carb freak. Just don't feel good if I drop these.
