Most people will benefit from two of Atkins' principles:
1. Dump sugar (meaning read the labels to find out that sugar is ubiquitous in our processed food)
2. Exercise in moderation. (I have never spent more than 4 hours a week at the gym)

Yes, those two principles alone are sage advice. Sugars are truly deserving of the title of "junk food". Yeah, they taste great. And they have their uses (picture a marathon runner nearing the proverbial "wall".). But one should go beyond moderation with sugar and shoot for "very seldom" in their diet.
I took up exercise 13 years ago, ironically, to gain weight. I was underweight and not as strong as I wanted to be so I took up lifting weights and eating everything in sight. I still do both, though in a much more moderated manner. :^) Exercise is paramount regardless of ones' diet. IMHO, of course.
