Is reverse dieting hogwash?

Been reading and hearing that reverse dieting is a myth because it only prolongs your deficit and that if you go from cutting to your -new- maintenance, you won't gain fat. Instead that rapid weight gain is due to water retention, glycogen, and food in GI tract...easy +10lbs in 2 weeks or so straight from a rapid cut.

Thoughts? Experiences?
