    Quite frankly most dieters gain back, not on just this diet but all diet plans

    What is your height and current weight, and activity level? Folks here will give you some pointers if they have that information. If you only need to lose 18lbs then there's no way that diet is appropriate. That's really the sort of thing for very obese people, preferably under medical supervision. If your doctor hasn't suggested it I wouldn't go there!

    Btw, even that book talks about the post diet maintenance. You really do need to think about that. If you eat the way you always have why wouldn't you expect to end up right back where you always were?

    Why are you back on a diet that failed? Instead of temporary crash diets, look for some permanent changes. Changes that can help you lose weight AND keep it off.

    I've done the yo-yo thing myself. Losing weight & regaining....isn't success.

    They gain it back because they don't learn how to eat to maintenance. Many revert back to how they were eating before they lost weight.

    That's because "diet plans" like this one are usually temporary. Temporary plan=temporary results. Make your own diet you'd be happy to live on forever and you might have better success.

    Just the name is enough to scare me away.

    Nah, a thread from July this year is not a zombie thread - I've seen threads resurected from 2010!!
