Yes, that is true but it has been my experience that folks on Atkins will begin eating fewer calories per day.

Agreed, that is probably true in most cases.

I'm convinced that this is why folks who truly follow the Atkins plan keep the weight off: we end up eating less and being more active.

I really think the key here is "more active". I'm not eating less, but I'm certainly more active than I would be if carrying around 50 extra pounds. It's not that I make more of a concerted effort to exercise (sadly, I don't), but instead that I'm more likely to say 'yes' when asked to play racquetball, or a walking round of golf, or just take the stairs if I'm too impatient to wait for the elevator.

Precisely!

Those folks that bash the Atkins plan, saying we ONLY need to eat less and excercise more, never realize that it is all about eating less and being more active.
