You are correct when you say that people should exercise. However, I was in a car wreck many years ago that has left me handicapped. Exercise is not an option for me. The Atkins diet works for me and I am glad I went on it. Not everyone who is fat is just a lazy slob, like many on this site seem to think.

I understand, clearly there are people who can't exercise due to medical conditions. I am happy you've found the Atkins diet works for you, and I certainly won't throw stones at you for doing what you can to lost weight.
I really believe however that a big portion of folks on Atkins right now could see significant weight loss by exercising. Except for a small portion of the population, not many Americans exercise regularly. And looking at the next generation (school-age kids), they spend more time watching TV and video game and less outside exercise than ever before.
