Please get a copy of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and read it. It answers this question. Also you might try this:

Atkins for Life will also address this issue. It's a GREAT book!!!!! You have to maintain your LC lifestyle or you will gain it all back. You can't go back to the old ways of eating, the way that made you gain weight in the first place.
