She's right. Sorry!
If you want to do Atkins, ya gotta get into ketosis and stay there. It's a rough road! Good luck!

The Atkins diet works because you're eating very few carbs, so your body goes into ketosis - it burns the carbs you do eat, then starts in on your body fat. It takes about two days to get into ketosis. If you go off plan on the weekends, you'll knock yourself out of ketosis and sabotage your efforts.
If you really miss breads and pasta, there are low-carb alternatives available. There's even low-carb ice cream - my local supermarket just started stocking it  Try some of that as your weekend "treat".
