For those of you who were on Atkins, why did you stop?

Even if you lose weight your cardio vascular system hasnt been challenged and is still in the same shape (if your not planning on being 100% physically fit you probably wont care) as it was when the diet was started. Also, to satisfy my own curiosities, how long will it take to gain back what has been lost when the diet is stopped? I don't mean to criticize people who choose this, but i would research the before, during and after effects.

What makes you think that it doesn't include exercise? Chapter 22 isn't entitled "Exercise: It's Non-Negotiable" for no reason.

That's yet another misconception that people (who don't understand the plan) have about Atkins.
