| Once
you have been able to maintain your goal weight on Pre-Maintenance for
at least four weeks, you are ready to begin the final stage of the
Atkins Nutritional Approach. As the name implies, Lifetime Maintenance
is designed to help you stay at your ideal weight for the rest of your
life.
By the time you get to this stage, you have
already reached your weight
loss goal. Now, your biggest challenge will be to keep those extra
pounds off. Since you have been through the first three phases of the
Atkins Nutritional Approach, you have worked too hard to lose your
focus. If you return to your old eating habits, you will regain most or
all of your hard-lost weight. During Pre-Maintenance, you learned about
your Akins Carbohydrate Equilibrium (ACE), which is the number of grams
of Net Carbs you can eat and still maintain your weight. In order to
achieve permanent weight loss, you must continue to stay within your
ACE during Lifetime Maintenance.
