I mentioned to my mom that I was going to give Atkins a try and got the "that isn't good for you" speech, I didn't discuss it with her again. I went up (1500 miles away thankfully) for a visit and never mentioned the diet, just ate my salads and veggies and she thought I was on a low fat kick which she thougth was fine, she didn't know the difference. It is amazing how someone can tell you something is not good for you and not even recognise it, isn't it. hehehe
