He doesn't stop because it is the only thing that has worked this well.  He is well aware that a life of useless, nutrition-less carbs is not in his future.  He wants to get to goal, he's lost 50 already.  [/quote]

Not all carbs are "useless and nutrition-less."

Basically low carb diets work because they limit so much what people eat that people dramatically cut their daily caloric intake.  It works well at first.  But the combination of cutting so many calories and losing weight (especially if not strength training, because he is likely losing muscle weight, too) means that his metabolism drops a lot.  So when he inevitably does start to increase his caloric intake, even if it isn't carbs (but say adding more fats because he's "bored" with his meals), he risks gaining the weight back PLUS more.

It's basically the same thing that makes all severe/extreme diets work really well at first but end up screwing up your metabolism and your body more.[/quote]

Total, utter baloney. You are anti low carb without bothering to know anything about it.[/quote]
