Exercise will definitely speed up the weight loss.
Here's why:

1. First, the most obvious: exercise burns calories/fat/carbs. You can actually eat more food and still lose weight if you exercise strenuously.

2. If you increase the muscle in your body, your body will burn more calories/fat/carbs even while you're sleeping, because muscle requires more energy to maintain than fat does.

3. Exercise increases your metabolism and that increase stays with you for several hours after you're done exercising.

4. Exercise tones your muscles, so that your body looks firm instead of saggy (as can happen with rapid weight loss without exercise).

5. Exercise can reduce your appetite if you are in ketosis already. Immediately after exercise, your ketosis deepens, and that reduces your hunger.

6. It can improve your mood and that will help combat tendencies for emotional eating.

Dr Atkins called exercise non-negotiable.
