what does your book say?

For some, the varius specific diets for low carb are like religions.

There is a lot of missing information needed to help with your question.

How much do you weigh?
How many caerbs are you eating each day for the last 2 weeks?
How much do you want to increase the carbs?

The longer and lower you keep the carbs the sooner you may lose interest in
eating carbs.  However, it may take a month or two.

Having lost 12 pounds in 2 weeks you are likely to be in ketosis.  If you up
your carbs you risk stopping ketosis and stalling the weight loss.

Remember, 1 pound a week is a good weight loss rate.  you can't lose 6
pounds a week forever.

USe www.atkins.com to read about the different phases.

When you decide to leave induction you add 5g to your daily intake.
You up your intake each week, tracking your rate of weight loss.
Week3=25g
week4=30g
You continue to do this till your weight loss stops.
This number of carbs is know as your CCLL (Critical Carb Level for
Loosing). Below this number you will loose weight.
You can then come down from this number to resume weight loss.
Identifying your CCLL is important. Some people who stay on indcution
VERY long perionds (6 months+) complain about gaining weight. The
theory is the body metabolism adjusts and now your CCLL is 20 or less.

When you are close ( 5-10 lbs ) to your goal you enter phase 3. You
start adding 5g carbs each week continuing above your CCLL. When you
reach a level that causes actual weight gain, you've ID'd your CCLM
(Crit. Carb Level for Maintenance) You now know your maintenance
range. You can eat between your CCLL & your CCLM to maintain your
weight. The last few pounds you can work off physcially (exercise)
while on maintenance. But note that exercise may raise your actual
CCLL/CCLM level cause of the additional burn.
