Once you start putting carbs back into your diet.... you will gain the weight back and then some!.

Not precisely, but that's essentially correct. Once your body has been through the 2 weeks of induction, you slowly add five grams/carbs a week. Instead of 20, you have 25 for a week, then the next week it's 30, next week 35, etc.
When you get toa point where you're not losing weight any longer, drop back five grams. Example: You've made it to 55 grams of carbs a day and stop losing weight. Cut back to 50. that amount is the amount of carbs that your body can handle and still lose weight.
Once you've reached your goal weight, add fivve more, then another five the next week, etc. until you notice a pound of weight gain or so. Cut back five again. that amount is the amount of carbs that your body can comfortably handle without gaining weight, and is the "magic number" for life. anything over that is going to cause weight gain.
It's all there on the Atkins site.
