Dieting when living abroad
 

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 fuse....i too was addicted to fuse bars mmmmmm in fact DOUBLE mmmmmmmmmmmm
i wouldnt have a clue what sort of things you could use im hopeless at cooking but when sarah comes back shes your woman , she has loads of low fat recipes suitable for non dieters too(man and kids) she does have a couple already on thread here somewhere

Hi Fuse

Im a cant cook wont cook person but I know some people round here do actually cook!! Welcome anyway!! I think www.realslimmers.com have some recipes.

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?:dizzy:

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. :devil: :devil:
Thanks to everyone who has replied so far.

dont they sell cadburys in germany:p

was on the phone to my sis in law ..she lived in germany for 3 yrs , was asking about low fat things but her being of the supermodel build never needed to look for that kind of stuff.........they were her words ...that kind of stuff..........its only low fat foods i was asking about not illegal substances boy im in a B A D mood today and i dont know why , this is day where ill eat my head of just to spite the inner voices:mad: :mad:

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!!:( :( :(

wow he gave you a whole box!!!!!!!!! is he single by any chance he sounds like dream man :lol:
