Thinking about going back on Atkins, need advice

[Taina]

i did not weight myself after a high carb diet, i did it last saturday morning, as usual ... then i ate a hamburguer in the night, and kept the low carb the whole week, well today, 100grms more, is not that much, but i gained weight instead of loosing.

I see. It sounds like you're one of those persons that can't bounce back from a high carb day (you're not alone). You might want to do just a "High Carb Meal". Eat low carb for all of your meals except on the day that you want more carbs. Also you might have to make sure your "High Carb meal" is done with cleaner carbs (fruits, starcy veggies, whole grains, nuts etc.) instead of junkier carbs (chips, cookies, ice cream). I'm not saying you can't ever have the junkier carbs, but you probably have to have just a one serving on your cheat day and eat healthy the rest of the day. No one wants to ever think that they can't have a junk food treat every so often.

Everyone is different, one cheat day can undo a lot of progress for some folks and unfortunately (possibly setting you back a few weeks) you may be one of those that can only do a "cheat meal" not a whole "cheat day".
