Will I need to go to the gym if Ill start to follow Atkins or this is just a way of reducing carbs to lose weight?
Thank you.

I had lost about 70 lbs using the atkins approach but I gained it back when I met a girlfriend that wanted to show me how good of a cook she was...

anyway during my weight loss, I found that whenever I worked out using weights I would be thrown out of ketosis.

I am back on Atkins (induction) but am finding it difficult to get into ketosis. I am working out 3 times a week using weights... is this the problem? and if it is the problem, is there a way to modify the diet so that I can workout with weights and still have the "fat burning advantage" of
getting into ketosis?

70 lbs is great. I am sure that you can do it again.
