Last night talking to someone my H was told that this guy had lost a lot of weight on Atkins and when he stopped, he put on twice the weight he lost.

This is my H's problem

He loves this WOE, but does not know if he could follow it so strickly for the rest of his life.

His plan was to loose his wieght, start weight lifting, as soon as his surgen tells him to do it, and basically get fit. Then when he reaches his goal, he was going to eat healthy and less quantity, and avoid most breads and starches, like potatoes. We can not find any information on doing this after.

Then if he put on say 10 lbs he was going to go back on atkins to loose it. Or will this cause his body to yo yo.

From what I have read is maintenance can be achieved at much higher levels of carbs YMMV

Is this wrong in thinking??
