I think this is the hardest part for all of us to learn

How and what to eat for the rest of your life in order to maintain that "perfect" weight for you. In Dr Atkin's book he talks indepth about OWL (Ongoing weight loss). He suggests for us to up our daily carb 5 grams a week until we find ourselves no longer losing. That is our maintaince number. Then to drop back down to a lower number to continue to lose the weight more slowly until we reach our goal weight.

I have 9 pounds left and losing at around 1 pound every month or so. I know once I do reach my goal weight I will not need to make any drastic changes to maintain it due to the fact that I will be eating correctly

Hope that helps
