Default Hi from the UK!

Hi there people, I'm Danielle from the UK saying hello to all you thinning beauties. I did actually try Atkins about four years ago and I'm afraid to say that back then I only lasted three days!!! In my defence, I have to say it seems to have gotten much easier...I'm sure I wasn't allowed ANY sugar substitutes the first time round, and has the vegetable rationing seen an increase as well...?

Anyway, I have been on induction for about a week and a half now, total weight loss of 5 pounds so far. Touch wood, it's all is going well, except for one problem: I can't get hold of psyllium husks, or flax seeds - I'm sure you can guess the problem...any ideas???

Well, good luck to everyone, I wish you all every success!

D x

Welcome.

I am a Brit presently living in Germany.

Flax seeds? We call them Linseed in UK. Holland and Barratt and many other health food shops sell them.

I can't believe how I missed that, it's even labeled on Holland and Barrett's site as Milled Flaxseed (Linseed), which I have searched once already...

Thanks!
