Please read the other posts in this thread in regards to
this - its been explained well. You obviously still have
not read his book to understand the true way of the
eating program.
If per say, a person who eats 2000 cals per day is now on
maintenance, the way atkins works is that they increase
their carbs (in forms of good carbs, like veggies, whole
grains, etc) to the point where they aren't losing any
more. For some people this increases their carbs to over
100 or more.
The diet works by keeping your meat/fat levels the same and
decreasing/increasing the carbs to a level for weightloss
or maintenance. Yes, the overal percentages of what is
consumed will alter based on your changes. But in reality
the *amount* that is consumed for fat/protein does not need
to change.
This argument is akin to the "Fat weighs more than muscle"
argument. By volume, yes, but pound for pound, no.
Same with Low carb. Protein/Fat consumption, by
percentage increases/decreases based on the carbohydrate
levels, but ounce for ounce of consumption, it is not
necessary to change.
