i wouldn't have a problem with doing it ... a lot of people eat way more unhealthily than the Atkins and still survive for years
i would have thought Atkins would be fine for working out ... make sure you drink plenty of water though... the other diet i've heard mentioned (on this forum, in fact) is the South Beach diet... that looked ok too
i wouldn't do it just cos someone wants you to though, that's just wrong
