My hubby thinks he is doing Atkins but he is not. He won't bother to read the book. He has lowered his carbs quite a bit - what choice does he have when I do the cooking? But, he still eats things I can't have, and he also loses more weight than me without really trying. Grrrrrrr. My daughter only has one kidney so she has to a controlled carb diet, which means that there's always some extra carbs for her. My son, well, he's 21 and while he doesn't ridicule me for my WOE, he doesn't support it either. He's kind of neutral.
