There was one success story of a woman who the only time she worked out was when she hit a plateua.

Although Atkins does state to work out while you are doing this diet. This lady didn't seem to have trouble loosing weight and just did exercise to help her to break through the weight platuea.

Also on the atkins site they recommend taking down your carb by 5 if you hit a plateua.

Good Luck!
