Certainly most people come off ketosis when they are in maintenance. I come off ketosis as soon as I OWL because my ketosis threshhold is way down there. But I am still on Atkins - I am low carbing and regulating bloodsugars and food intake just by limiting bad carbs.
So you do not have to be in ketosis to do Atkins. (I think that is a myth perpetuated by those who did not read the book) When I come off ketosis just by adding 5 extra healthy carbs I have no effect (except my appetite goes up and I have to watch it) but if I suddently eat something really carby I will will feel a bit woosy because my body is not used to it.
Hope that helps Louisea.
