I tend to yoyo a bit on this diet too.
The thing is, even when you "yoyo", you're still losing like 3 lbs of fat a week.
The RFL diet is not the greatest diet to cut down to an extreme level of leanness. In fact, past a certain level of bodyfat percentage, it becomes a much bigger pain than it's worth.
The more I've used it, the more I realize it's most effective as a "slash and burn" approach. If you're tubbing around at 20-25% bodyfat, it is an excellent tool to get down to 15% in a hurry. I would say it's the best tool for this purpose; you see results right away and a month's worth of RFL dieting would take actual work to undo inside of 3 months.
Ironically, the kind of people Rapid Fat Loss would help are the same kind of people who would never do the diet aka giant fatties.
I've considered going on a mass training routine with a slight caloric surplus for 6 weeks and then "deloading" to do RFL for one week, after which I'll slowly dial up the calories.
No, but I don't see how it would hurt, unless you were already on some ridiculous caloric surplus. If you were just eating a regular keto diet, you should be fine.
You could do maintenance for a week or two if you're truly concerned (that's at minimum 100-150g carbs a day).

I'm about halfway through the RFL handbook now, planning to start in March after doing a regular ketogenic diet in February as a test run (never been on a low-carb diet before).
Has anyone ever done this right off of a regular keto diet? Advisable? Or should I go back to 100-150g net carbs a day and maintain for some time beforehand?
