There is peer reviewed research (that I've posted here before) showing that people who lose weight quickly at the beginning of a diet are more likely rather than less likely to maintain that weight loss after the diet ends.

Well provide a link to the study.
Most research that I have read points to not losing more than 1% of bodywork a week lose more and your losing lean body mass.
Also what ever diet changes your going to make have to be lifestyle changes that you can sustain for the rest of your life.
Look at the study into the biggest loser most regained the weight back,
Average weight before filming The Biggest Loser: 328 lb.
Average weight after 30 weeks on The Biggest Loser: 199 lb.
Average weight six years after final on camera weigh-in: 290 lb.
This means that, on average, participants regained 70 percent of the weight they’d lost. (Although they did keep off 30 percent of it.)
I’ve posted it here more than once. You’re more than welcome to do a little digging through my post history to find it. I’m away from home (and my bookmarks) and thus don’t have it readily available.

Knowing what I know, I’d bet that they used inadequate protein intake throughout the study.

No, they don’t. There is no reason that the diet someone uses to lose weight has to be the same diet they spend the rest of their lives on. That’s not how this works.
Lastly, I’m well aware of the problems with The Biggest Loser, but none of that is really applicable here.
No so wrong yes Protein consumption is necessary to preserve mussel mas but so is resistance training, but try to lose over 1 % body weight and you will be losing lean body mass and your not going to look or feel good at the end of your diet.
Is it? How much protein was consumed relative to body mass?

of course.

Highly context dependent. For someone who is already exceptionally lean, that might be the case, while someone who is obese would not have that problem.
