[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in my late 30s and have lived in Europe for about two years.  I am hypothyroidism and have always struggled with my weight as a result.  Here I have lost weight.  I think food is far less preserved and much less sugar is added.  I will say I can eat pastries, bread, pasta and desserts here much easier with feeling sick or noticing tighter jeans.  I pretty much avoided these foods in the US.

I spent six weeks in the US over the summer and had diarrhea often.  Sometimes like almost instantly after eating.  It was worse when eating restaurant food.  My husband who is thin and has no health issues has similar issues.  There must be something in the food that destroys the gut, especially for those that aren’t used to it.

[b]The other thing no one has mentioned is now lunch is usually the main meal of the day.  Not in places like the UK but in Spain, France, Italy etc. [/b] I really think eating the majority of calories midday makes a difference.

Lastly I think Americans suffer more.  People I know here have a much better relationship with food.  They enjoy it and don’t seem to obsess or feel guilty.  They eat bread and cheese and pasta but in smaller amounts too.  [/quote]

Eating the majority of food earlier in the day is usually considered healthier. [/quote]
