  • Dieting while Abroad

    Hello everyone,

    So for the backstory....Im 21 years old, and I lost 60 pounds on atkins back in 2004-2005. Then I went to college and gained 120 pounds in the span of two years. I am fed up, I have had enough. I tried to start back up a couple of times, but failed miserably. So, I really want to do this again and I figure I can start now and by the time I go back to school in August, I will have lost a substantial amount of weight so people can tell me that I have been losing weight (i think that is the best motivation). However, on Wednesday I am leaving to study abroad in Greece for six weeks. All of the hotels have pools and gyms, so I know I will workout (plus i have the willpower now too!) Do you guys know what I should eat, or if there is anything I should stay away from? Any tips? Any good greek or mediterranean food for atkins? Is there any tips for a second timer?
    Thanks,
    SuperNova

    All I would suggest is to print out a copy of the allowed foods list to have with you at all times for reference when choosing what to order and eat.
    There is a 'wallet sized' list amongst the stickiy threads of the 14-day induction forum which would be useful too.
    Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
    Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

      You should get fabulous fresh veggies in Greece... I'd load up on those; also terrific olive oil, feta cheese and olives... mediterranean fish is full of flavour compared to Atlantic fish too.
      Have a wonderful stay! The flavours, scents and scenery should be awesome.
