Yes - When the body is forced to break down fat rapidly it produces ketones, which float around in your blood. You know when you have acidosis as your mouth tastes and smalls like a dirty coin. Acidosis is very very unhealthy, not only does your body break down fat but it will also break down your muscle mass, leaving you with a reduced metabolism and untoned body.
Low carbohydrate died reduced your metabolism significantly, so when you stop you pile on the weight.
Also the initial weight loss you see is water, you body stores carbohydrates, and with every gram of carbohydrate stored in your body there is also 2 grams of water stored with it, so you have carbohydrate in your brain, liver and muscles... when that all goes, so does allot of water (2 - 3kg depending on your body type) therefore making you believe you lost weight. as soon as you start to eat normally the carbohydrate and water comes back.. and you think you gained weight.
Carbohydrates are your friend (in sensible moderation), if your going to avoid carbohydrates, avoid them in the evening when you go to bed as you dont need that kind of energy when you sleep (breakfast and lunch is great)
