The first two weeks of the Atkins diet, know as the Induction Stage, is the most restrictive of the four (Induction, On-Going Weight Loss, Pre-Maintenance, and Lifetime Maintenance).
Once you get past the Induction phase, you are supposed to gradually increase your carb load until you are no longer losing weight. To maintain your goal weight, you are to say at your newly found ACE (Net Carb gram level).
Not all carbs should be treated equally. The ones that count toward your blood sugar level are called the "net carbs", the ones that count in your food intake.

ETA: I just read some of previous posts and it seems as though you have the right amount of info. Sorry!!!

Thanks for trying to help.
I have given up the idea of dieting. I think that I am at a good and healthy weight and size for my body. I have even worn quite a few bikinis this summer.
