Make sure you're not simply stocking up on proteins. This can cause you to lose a lot of water, leading you to believe you're losing 'weight'. You might be, but in this case unfortunately, water != fat. Though if you're just 'eating as much [as you want]', you're probably fine.

Though, in all honesty, I don't care so much for special diets. Me, I prepare my own food and don't eat the refined crap, and I'm as healthy as a horse. My ancestors did not evolve to eat that crap.

I kept the weight off for quite some time, so I doubt it was all water. I also fit into my old jeans. My brother just lost about 75 pounds on a low carb diet. That is certainly not 75 pounds of water! I don't know if he also ate as much as he wanted, though.

I do have to say when I went on the low carb diet, it did make me very cranky for the first week or two.
