[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The answer is constant vigilance.

I spend 4x as much on food in the US. For staples like pasta, rice, flour, I buy EU imports. I buy bread every other day and pay 8.50 a loaf so it has only flour, yeast, water, and salt.

I make my own baked goods. Never eat anything with sugar added by the manufacturer (no jarred pasta sauce, no cold cuts, no prepared or frozen meals). Only drink coffee and water. Eat fish 2x a week, always wild-caught.

Make mostly traditional recipes: soups, stews, roast meats with vegetables. Live in a relatively walkable place where I can walk to the bakery, coffee shops, grocery store.

Then I go to Europe and eat literally whatever I want and I still lose weight. It's awful but true, to eat well in the States, it's a job. [/quote]

I’m like you PP to the point that people know me as the bougie food snob in the office and among DH’s relatives. I find it very hard to consume crap like breakfast sausages and doughnuts, like what was offered to me when I was traveling to visit my in-laws. DH wants to do a longer visit next time and I’m opting out because I dread  the lack of food options there.[/quote]
