Hi Valu! Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll find support here!

Welcome valu! Your english is far superior to my italian, so no worries! If you can narrow down your approach, low fat + calorie counting, low carb, etc. you'll be able to see more info that can help your specific path. Welcome!

Thank you all for the warm welcome! I'm vegetarian from 10 years now, I recently started a zone diet, seems to work,but sometimes it's difficult to find the protein part of the meal...
Also I think I should add some work out...but I don't know where to start...
One last thing, I would like to ask to all the ladies how they manage the craving pre period...I cave last time and so I basically had to start over the diet...

Valu, I'm in perimenopause and still have those awful cravings. Most often I give into them, then pick myself up and start over. It does slow down the weight loss, but I'm steadily losing. I wish I could be more help. I'll be looking for answers to your question, too.

Sometimes little nibbles help me, if I am craving then I am
thinking my blood sugar is dropping, so I get a few nuts
or a small piece of cheese and a beverage and nibble
the nuts or cheese very slowly, just to take the edge
off. The usually keeps me until the next meal time.

Thank you everyone! I will try very hard to not fall into temptation!
