Hi My name is Beto and I´looking for friends who support low carb dieting and Atkins not as a diet but as a way of life. I've been a member for a week and have made gains but i look forward to friends to provide support and for whom i may do the same.
The super long story is in the "Anyone in the Republic of Panama" super long intro...

Im 40 years old and have come to realize i must change my life or my life will change me... Ive lost 40 lbs before (regained most of them though) and hope this time around I can go the distance and stay there.

If this sound like something you might find interesting please add me as a friend.

looking forward to getting thin and healthy.

Beto

    HI Beto and welcome! I too am new here to MFP. I've been steadily losing weight since last year and I'm looking at my last 15 lbs. I've been doing a combo of exercise and nutrition. I've gone through several types of nutritional plans and they are all pretty muched tied to what particular work out program I'm following. Right now I'm doing Insanity and the nutrition guide has me at a ratio of Carbs 40/Protein 40/Fat 20.

    Not really your low carb but I'm losing the body fat. When I started I was 197 lbs at only 5'5" and with a very high body fat percentage. I was also on cholesterol medication. Now I'm down to 170 lbs and off my cholesterol medication. I'm heading in the right direction. I hope that I can help you in anyway I can. You can get those 40 lbs off and more!

    Patrick
