Hi
We have moved to Spain and I'm gaining a pound a week.
The heat and lovely white bread leaves me less active. This must change

The Mediterranean way of eating is highly recommended for good health and weight loss. So you should have everything available there to enjoy it. The 12 week plan works, so give it a fair trail.
Wishing you success for your goals 🎉🎉🎉

Each time I go back home that lovely white bread kills me!! I'm going in July and I konw I don't have the will power!! LOL
What Minnie says is true, the Mediterranean diet is very healthy. Watch the olive oil-whilst healthy it packs calories-and delicious! Beautiful fruits and veg, great fish....Exercise is a must, though with the heat, it would have to be indoors or swimming.
Good look and enjoy
Hello Almandros i hope you enjoy your new life in spain i moved to spain 15yrs ago and i know how difficult it can be in the summer months not to exercise as all your energy is zapped. However, the fresh a fruit and vegetables are so awesome its so easy to do healthy meals i know what you mean about the bread when you walk into the shops and smell the fresh french bread being baked i could quite easy eat the whole lot.

Wishing you all the best in your new life in spain and your weight loss journey.
