I lurk more than I respond but now have a question to put out there. I've been seeing reports of some who have gone off this WOE for just a week or a couple of days and had gains of 5-10 lbs. I'm really hoping that most of their gain is water but just get really paranoid about cheating which as I'm in wt loss mode is good. But what happens when you get to maintenance? Not that I'm thinking that I will ever go back to my previous way of eating, and I have read the last Atkins book on lifetime Atkins. Which really helped explain this ongoing WOE.

What do others think, what has been your experience. I have really mostly kept to the plan with only small cheats in the last couple of weeks. I did gain 1# and I have really slowed down in wt loss but have slowly moved down even with the odd wk of slight gain.
