While many people do lose weight on Atkins without exercising, he is a strong proponent of exercise. One chapter in his book is titled "Exercise - It's Not Optional". He states "If you are not exercising, you are not doing Atkins".

you do not need to excercise on the atkins diet. of course, excercise is always good for you, so if you can, that is great.
i had tried to join a gym, but i couldn't get into it. i always walk alot, so that would have been the extent of my excercise.
all you need to do is stop all the carbs... (~i was loosing nearly a pound a day; 40 lbs in 45 days~) you have to read the labels of everything.
i liked that you can eat all the meat you want... sit down and eat a whole lb of bacon if you like.
i lost 115 lbs on atkins', and i haven't gained any more than 3 lbs of that back.i can pretty much still eat whatever i want.

exercise helps, but I lost 15 lbs on atkins in a month, the problem is I stopped, then I gained it back

Whatever diet you try working out as well is going to give you better results.
