Is it the diet or is it the exercise?

[trock]

I have done Atkins numerous times and always lost weight, this last go round i dropped 72lbs without any exercise at all

however i feel the exercise is obviously healthy and this go round will be incorporating some weight lifting into the new lifestyle

i also think, that during stalls or slowdowns with Atkins that working out can help

Eat Atkins and look good in your (smaller) clothes
Eat Atkins AND exercise and look good naked

Exercise is important!

45 min of cardio 5 times a week is recommended... and yes it does burn calories which will speed up your overall weight loss over time...

what i ment in my post was if your doing your exercise quick so your sweating and stuff that will speed up your metabolism just like if you were doing cardio and you will get your muscles at the same time

though i see your point it is ALOT harder than doing light 45 min cardio and lots of the time i forget and slow down to much and then dont get my metabolism up and cardio in for the day xD
