Default Hello from France

Hello Everybody,

I am living in France, down South, In Cannes to be precise where the film Festival takes place every year in May.
I am 56 years old
I have always been a fan of Dr Atkins, read his first book in the 70s.
Here in France, his diet is very badly considered but a lot of doctors are applying his sytem except that they allow more carbs (aroud 70 to 100gr par day) especially in dairy product.
I have been on one of these diets which works to some extent except that I discover that dairy products are not for me and that because of that I am loosing very slowly. I went from 257lbs to 182 lbs and am aiming for 154 lbs(maybe less because I am a tall lady of 6ft).
I decided to continue with Atkins starting yesterday with Induction. So far so good as I have already lost 2 lbs in one day.
That's why I registered with you because It's so nice to have support and have an answer when you ask yourself some questions.
So thanks for having me and sorry if I made mistakes in writting english.
Cheers

Welcome Angel in France.
Great to have you here. Dairy products can be a bit tricky for some. You've lost a lot of weight already. Great stuff.

I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
