Well you either burn fat or burn carbs, if you have no carbs then your body starts burning the fat, if no fat or carbs you die...

I don't suggest Atkins for people who are exercising however it works great for sedentary (bed ridden) obese people until they can lose enough weight to get up and get moving around. You are right in one sense however, an excess of calories will cause you to gain weight no matter what you are eating, carbs or fat with your protein.
