From what I've read,it's a fine line.
The body's metabolism will apparently slow down after a period of around three hours with no food take,conserving energy.......
Also if inadequate fats are consumed the body will hold onto these "resources" and burn unnecessary protein as a preferred fuel source.

As for the gaining weight after exercise and diet.

Perhaps these people were dehydrated?
