I even have a better one for you. My mother in law is severly overweight, she actually takes 17 different prescription pills every day!!! She has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, you name it, she has it wrong with her (at least it seems this way) anyway, she also needs to have bladder surgery because of leakage problems, but the doctor has told her that she has to loose at least 50 pounds before she can have the surgery because of the risk of infection from all of the fat they would have to go through. Anyway, I started doing Atkins, she told me how unhealthy it was for me. I kept doing it, she started eating sugar substitutes, and avoiding junk food, I keep loosing, she is the same, I told her that if she ever wants to try Atkins, she can borrow my book, and I will support her in every way. She still insists that it is bad. That it would probably kill her. Today, she just called and told us that she could be going blind in one eye because of her diabetes is causing complications. Yet she won't even try Atkins. I guess it's worth her life to try and prove me wrong!!
