Dieting when living abroad - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hi everyone. I´ve been reading all your threads over the last few weeks and have tried to register but have had a few problems. I live in Germany with my husband and two daughters but originally come from the West Midlands. Where I live in Germany, I have found very little in the way of low-fat products or diet foods. Has anyone got any good tips for yummy recipes that dont need hard to find ingredients. Please Help.

Hello, fuseaddict! I am from the States and also live in Germany-Berlin. I have been here one and a half years and have also had great difficulty finding low fat items--let alone non fat! It really takes lots of work and persistance, but many of the recipes can be adapted. I have several W.W. cookbooks and you just have to pick and choose what will work. I have lost weight slowly, just 22 pounds over several months. Stick with it and don't give up!P.S. What are Fuse bars?

WHAT, you don´t know what a fuse bar is?I shouldn´t really go into too much detail as we are on a dieting thread, but a quick description is needed. Cover your ears if you like chocolate. Ok, it´s a cadburys bar of milk chocolate (i´ve started to saliva already), and inside is a FUSion of nuts, raisins and other yummy things. They´re my absolute favourite. Fortunately for my diet, I can´t get them here, I live in Nurenberg.

Thanks to everyone who has replied so far.

Hi Flumper

Hope you´re feeling a bit better now. I had a day just like yours last week.

Here in Germany, it´s mostly nestles´ that is sold but last christmas I did notice a few cadbury bars in a shop in the City, it´s a good job we dont´visit the city much!!!
I went home for a family wedding last year and for a joke the father of the bride gave me a red-cross parcel to bring back home with me- Of course he knew about my fuse addiction and inside was a box full of Fuse Bars, well needless to say, I was more excited than my wedding night!!!! (ok, nearly as). Anyway, on 28th April was the day of my last bar, it was sad!!
