Help understanding nutrition, carbs versus calories, & weight gain?

I am trying to wean off the atkins diet, I have been on it for over 2 years and am trying to understand how 3500 calories equals a matter no matter how carbohydrate-y those calories are. I also understand that 1g of carbs = 4 calories. I do not understand however, how I am told that I will not put weight back on after coming off atkins and just counting my calories and watching my overall caloric intake. Please, only professional or experienced answers only. Will I be able to not gain weight if I begin to just watch my calories and begin to eat the recommended amount of daily carbohydrates?

I think you would put weight back on...
Because...
The Atkins approach is that you gain weight when your blood sugar spikes. If you start eating the "recommended " amount of carbs again, despite how many calories you eat, your blood sugar is likely to spike again and thus you have your weight back.
Maybe not,everyone is different, but I would be very careful.
