High carb low protein diet

I took a look at some sample meunu plans and couldn't believe what I saw. They recommend 10% protein 60-65% carbs and the rest fats. I looked over a days intake and it definitely looked below 1200 calories. No wonder they guarantee the program with excercise and this diet one would surely loose weight. But would you also loose a lot of muscle and would this weight stay off once you return to normal eating?

The weight would definately come back. 1200 calories is NOT enough for any type of eating regimen while training or not.
