Hi I am new here.  I started Montignac a few days ago and have been struggling trying to everything straight.  I heard SB is pretty much the same so I came over to see: so happy!  I read a few posts and now know what I have to do!  So if you have some room...I'll probably stick around!


I have a lot of weight to lose and think I have a problem with the carbs.  My name is Allison.  I have twin daughters who will turn 4 in May.  I just had a m-c in January(my fourth).  Looking for something positive these days...thus the weight loss.


Any one wanna share their goal?  I want to wear a bathing suit and be proud...feel pretty!!!

I think for each person it is different. What one person likes, another person may not like. We all have our likes and dislikes and it will be up to you to find what foods and snacks you like on the approved food lists.


For my family, they loved the old traditional fatty favorites: chicken strips, pizzas.. all the fast food horror places. I have found healthy replacements for those fast food comforts in the recipe section below. It's been a life saver and they are happy with it!


For the desserts and sweet tooth, there are plenty of healthy great tasting recipes!


So basically for me, I don't feel like I am being denied anything. Whatever I have a taste for, I can find a healthier alternative!


Good Luck!!
