I am considering upping my calories and doing a IP/Atkins hybrid and going back to the gym...
I was wondering if anyone has tried this and what kinds of results/failures have you had.
Thanks everyone for you help!

I have been following the IP lifestyle for about 5 years. I originally lost 80 pounds by following 100% protocol without any more exercise than walking in about 5 months.
Since then to maintain I have tried every variety of the plan. the most I had gained was about 15 pounds of the 80, but the last 10 months I put on 35...ouch. Well, I have been following an Atkins/IP (mostly IP) hybrid for 10 weeks now (with no exercise, had to cut it, was slowing my loss) and I am down almost 30 pounds.
Personally get the weight off you want and then exercise away.
