I'm on atkins also. Before I got sick {head cold} I was doing the pool about once a day and biking every other day. I started April 1 with a 25 lb. lose...but I'm at a stand still right now with being sick. Atkins encourages a lot of fat due to the fact that's where your energy comes from. I know that if I don't take enough fat in I will feel sluggish...and my weight lose will slow. But then again...that’s me.
Good luck!
