Hey Madison,
I understand how you're feeling! I know refeed is a long way away for me, but I will be doing 3 weeks of refeed during my christmas exams, and then have a week holiday in Florida, and then home for Christmas. I am hoping not to gain weight, but I would die if I put on more than 3lbs!
I think the Maintenance Bar idea is a fantastic one.
There is some very interesting information in The Holford Low GI Diet book.
Especially interesting is the first part, there are grpahs that show that average calories consumed (in the US) have gone down, while the % of obese people steadily increases, and graphs that show that the amount of carbs consumed is increasing, while the amount of fat is decreasing, yet people are getting fatter. Also, within carbs, starch is decreasing and sugar is increasing! It is a very scientific and convincing book. It seems to me that a lot of other diets are Low GI or GL in disguise, like the WW Core plan.
I did atkins in the past myself, and lost a bit, but I think Atkins is missing a refeed program like LT has, a lot of people I know lost weight on it, but like me, put on even more.
Best of luck with keeping the weight off, the fear can only be a good thing to help keep you on the straight and narrow.
