"Why are you going back onto a diet that you clearly can't sustain?"

Who are you kidding? I stayed on it for a year and a half and then got bored. It wasn't a struggle, I just stopped making it a priority. It's a pretty gigantic leap from there to "clearly can't sustain."

"Crash diets work for a few people, sure"

It's not a crash diet. Re-read the pages I linked to, and the comments I made. I don't have time to continue this conversation but it's nothing personal.

I would consider gaining the weight straight back a sign that it's unsustainable.
