My husband is in perfect shape/health and he is also following Atkins for ME....there is no reason he has to eat tempting foods like bread and potatoes when i have such a hard time with it....we eat breakfast together...and dinner together...he eats exactly as i do...but probably a bit more food...then when he's not with me he can eat what he wants....no..he doesn't have to do this...but he knows what a hard time i have being around food i can't have...so he's willing to do it for me...I think any spouse should do that...

You may want to ask your family to do this...why not? No one will be deprived...you can eat fantastic healthy meals and not even know it is low carb if you put your mind to it

Just my opinion..if you are struggling...your loved ones should be doing whatever they can to help
