Hola from Spain!

[Taltots]

Hi

My name is Anna and I live in Spain. This is my 3rd time on Atkins and I have just entered my 3rd day of Induction...so waiting to feel bad any moment now.

I have tried so many diets and nothing seems to work for me as well as Atkins, I have a few health issues such as RA, high blood pressure and high cholesterol and I'm only 41 - so time to make the change for good this time. I need to lose about 30kg..(oops sorry about 100 pounds I suppose).

The problem I have is that there is nothing here to support you when doing Atkins and I will have to rely on the good nature of family to get some low-carb goodies brought out to me here in Spain from the UK.

I need support and friendship to get me through this, and it's hard as I can't get the new book although my mum is looking for it for me in the UK!

I'm looking forward to joining you all and making some new friends!

Love Anna x

Re: Hola from Spain!

Welcome to the board Anna. I know it's hard finding what you need to eat when in other countries so good luck with that. The only thing I remember about meat in Spain is that they like it way too rare for my tastes. And stay away from the tapas!

Re: Hola from Spain!

Lol...the tapas can be brutal, well the bread is my downfall! (Am I allowed to say shhh whisper.... bread?) Yes, I like no blood in my meat and I'm constantly having to send my well-done steak back as it is bleeding profusely all over my plate.

Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome! My mom lives in Spain, so I spend a lot of time there. I tend to go off track everytime I visit I blame the bread!

Once you get the book, you'll find it a lot easier to follow - they have it on amazon for £5.99 and you can get it mailed over to you from there!

Good luck
