You didn't read the book did you?

Atkins isn't a diet... its a lifestyle change. If you don't stop eating carbs in excess no amount of exercise will prevent your weight gain.

(at least if you're anything like me)

I did this before... lost a lot of weight on atkins and then went right back to my bad eating habits. Result: gained all the weight back.

Just go on atkins, loose the weight, then go on OWL, and keep it off for the rest of your life.
