Yeah Atkins diet is only good if you are seditary.
If you work out you NEED the carbs or your body destroys itself. Your liver goes, your brain cells dont get the energy they need and start to die. Your lungs start to fill with liquid because they can not effectively keep up (require lots of energy to draw out the oxygen). Lots and lots of very bad things happen if you work out and on the Atkins.
I suggest you decide what you like better. If you want to work out check out the Zone diet, you say you dont crave the food as bad, and it keeps your meals very well balanced. The biggest complaint is they stay hungry the entire time. Pastas with meats in them (chicken alfredo, spaghetti, etc) are very good if you are serious about working out.
If you are goign to work out twice a week or so stay on the atkins for the week, the night before the day you work out carb up. You will burn off the carbs the next day, and you can stay seditary the rest of the week with no weight gain (if you do it right).
