I started out on 4-Hour Body, in one year I lost nearly 120 lbs. But the last few months of that year were pretty much a plateau. It's only since I switched to LCHF at the beginning of this year that I started making progress again.
It works. It keeps you sane, especially when starting out. As you get closer to your goal, if you're not seeing the progress you want, switch things up.
Looking back, I think I went overboard on my cheat days. (Entire pizza + Ben & Jerrys and more) I ended up cheating too often, not just once/week. (Dreaded carb cravings, something that hasn't been an issue on LCHF.)
I also didn't exercise as much as I was supposed to. I got lazy. All that helped contribute to my plateau.
Now I'm doing weight training 3 times/week and slowly reintroducing cheat days into my LCHF WOE. So far they've been cheat items once every couple weeks instead of full days. I haven't felt the "crash" many others describe so I'm playing it by ear for now.
That's all you can do. Try it. If it doesn't work, stop.
