here's my take on this:
OK, your body gained this excess weight as a response to foreign proteins.
when you go on NeanderThin, you correct this by removing those things, and
your body will gradually stabilize at a natural weight that's good for your
own body.
if you then go off NeanderThin, you are again eating those foreign proteins,
and your body still is not equipped to deal with them, so the weight comes
back on.  in fact, you may find you are more sensitive to these foods than
you were before NeaderThin.  by giving your body a respite from them, you
might make the response worse when you reintroduce them.
