Re: Doing Atkins when living with family *screams*

I love this thread. Seeing so many cultures I really feel for you. I agree the emotional way makes sense. I like that you are getting them to join you and enlisting their help. If that fails then use the guilt card too. Talk about DHs health issues and how they are killing their son. And educate, educate, educate. I would also show them the board to show them the Spanish speaking threads (unless they are from Brasil and speak Portuguese ) And tell them how much you love them and want them to succeed. I think the more connected they are to you emotionally, the better the luck you might have. Wishing you lots of luck on this. Could be a wonderful move on your part for all of them!

I'm so glad you had the heart-to-heart. I would suggest if they fall off the wagon that you have your husband have a talk with them, he can put an end to this once and for all. Stick to your guns, and keep up the good work!

Re: Doing Atkins when living with family *screams*

alot of people have been brain washed into thinking fat is bad for you and to do stupid things like removeing the egg yolk from an egg thinking just eating the egg whites is more healthy

people normally cant break a life long brain wash in a day but over time they can

currently i think they just dont understand how the diet works and assume its unhealthy

only when they are willing to listen to you and too seriously give the atkins diet a chance follow it strictly and spend willingful time learning about the atkins diet will you find things will get easier

but if they continue to not want to learn about it then dont waste your time you cant force someone to believe something they dont want too

when they want to hear about it though its best to start off with this
that you can eat tons of vegetibles as long as there atkins freindly


and maybe leave the i can also eat tons of fat part out atleast for now cause they wont understand it yet =P
