So what would happen if a person lost a bunch of weight on Atkins and then decided to go back to eating carbs but did so in a calorie-controlled manner? Would all the weight come back, some, none? I know a diet can’t be just a diet, has to be accompanied by a long-term change in WOE, but could one make the journey one way and then use another for maintenance?

Grateful to hear thoughts on this one, thanks.
