Carbs. People seem not to realize that your body needs a certain number of calories per day. If it doesn't get those calories you burn fat. Burning fat makes you pissy. And fad diets like atkins don't work in the long run. They'll have you drop a few pounds in a few weeks, but when you can't sustain it that weight will come right back.

Dieting is awful for your body in the long run. Tell her that studies show that overweight people actually live longer than people with "average" BMI, so by dieting she's just dooming herself to an early grave.
Look, you can have an article from WebMD to back it up: http://www.webmd.com/diet/news/20090625/study-overweight-people-live-longer
That's a heavy protein low carbs/fat diet right?
If she's determined you can't do anything, but watch out for her, if her skin starts going yellowish (I think) she's starting to come upon a kidney failure. Tell her that if she keeps the Atkins diet up, she will probably have kidney failure, and be in hospital for a long time, Dr. Atkins, although he died of blunt force trauma to the head, was close to a kidney failure. Before I properly structured my diet so was I, although I was just eating a lot, and a hell of a lot of protein.
The diet isn't brilliant, none are, exercise is far better and leave you feeling somewhat good about yourself. Also it might be best to go to your school counselor or your personal tutor and talk about it, they'll probably be able to help better than most on here, and on top of that they can write it up and the situation at home could be taken into account on home works and such.

If you are too young talk to your school councellor and try to get social services involved.
You're right, I just checked.MaxTheReaper said:
OP: Kidney failure makes the skin go darker amongst other things, I'm looking it up to post, but, most are in articles I haven't access to. Except wikipeida, but, I try not quoting from there.
Look on the bright side. At least she isn't like this mother.ninonybox360 said:

First, discuss it with your dad and sister. Try to get a feel for how much this is bothering them. It's possible that you're being overly sensitive -- getting other points of view will give you a better handle on just how out of line your mom is actually being.
If you all agree that she's really gone berserk, try talking to her. Not accusing, not attacking, just letting her know how what she's doing is affecting her family. Make an effort to understand her side of things, rather than putting her on the defensive or making her feel as though she's failed. Go into the conversation assuming that she loves you and isn't a selfish harpy who enjoys treating her family like crap.
Bottom line is, if she's not made aware of the problem, she won't have the chance to fix it.
