May I ask what diet your parents are on? Seems like Atkins diet.
Diet has 2 80/20 rules.
-Weightloss is 80% diet 20% exercise.
-Eat right 80% of the time and the other 20% you can cheat a little.
Everyone will have different opinions on diets, exercise and weight loss. What works for one person may not work for another.

Me and my wife started looking into weight loss a while ago. My wife has tried many different types of diets, calorie counting and nothing seemed to work. I started to do a lot of research on hormones and how they affect a person. Once diving deep into this I started noticing that a common thing popped up, Estrogen. I asked my wife to see her doctor and to get some test done, come to find out she had estrogen dominance at the age of 24!!! The Doctor thought the best action to take is to inject even more hormones into my wife to sort out the imbalance. I thought that was nuts and we dove into more research on how to fix this problem. Eventually we switched all of our chemicals to more "green" type of products and changed the way we ate. (yes there is a point to this story!)do you think we had all these "fad" diets a thousand years ago? no way!!
The way we changed our diet was going to more organic/natural types of foods. Fresh meats, fresh veggies, fresh fruit. We cut back on dairy products and stopped eating grains all together. (I stick to the 80/20 and my wife does 100%) If the food has been processed (packed into a box etc...) we stopped eating it. It is amazing how life changes once you start to cut out the junk from your diet, yes your feel bad the first couple weeks (your body craves what is bad) but your body will soon get over it and your have more energy!
Its been a month, any news/updates?
