[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lose weight effortlessly whenever I visit family there, and I sleep better. When I visit, I eat far more than I do when in the US, I eat later than when in the US, I drink more, and I exercise less. Yet I lose weight. I am convinced that RoundUp or one of the other pesticides that we allow in the US that aren’t allowed in Europe is killing off our healthy gut bacteria. [/quote] Isn’t this also the “vacation effect” (less stress), plus walking more? I’m originally from Europe, live in DC and have been in France on vacation for last three weeks and I’m pretty sure I’ve gained some weight.[/quote] I exercise more in the US. I measure steps and calories and while I do walk more in Europe, it’s not by much. I bike commute regularly in the US (with hills) and I don’t do that at all when in Europe. So, I eat more, exercise less, yet lose weight. As for stress, it’s visiting family, which has its own stress haha. [/quote]
