I read it all, and I don't see a lot I disagree with.  The mention on 
the first page of a low-fat diet really doesn't have much to do with the 
overall content of the article.  Their point is that losing weight 
changes how a person responds to food, both physically and 
psychologically, making it easier for them to regain weight.  They don't 
attribute that to any particular diet (and in fact they mention that it 
seems to happen regardless or what kind of diet is used).

I think maybe they exaggerate how difficult "keeping it off" can be (I 
personally don't find it nearly as troublesome as they make it out to 
be), but other than that I don't see a lot that raises my eyebrows.
