crackerjack Posts: 28 Joined: 2003/03/18	2004/02/29, 05:40 PM I live in the UK as well, Rascal, and you can get pretty much most of it...at least the 'real' food part of it, and a lot of the other stuff you can find local substitutes. As an expat american I'm pretty good at ferreting out the Uk equivalent for a lot of US things. Brand name things are tough, but usually there is a similar thing here, and is often the same thing, just a different name. I've never been able to find black beans, though, which I would like to. The stuff like Mrs Dash or the diet drinks I don't want anyway, so I've never looked. If I can help you find a specific item, let me know. CJ

treadhead Posts: 22 Joined: 2004/03/02	2004/03/03, 11:44 PM bb1 and charlie - thanks much. With such a comprehensive list you'd think it'd be easy to eat right. No such luck. I live an on the go type life style. I never take the time I should to prepare meals or remember to buy myself healthy snacks that I can take with me where ever I go. I'm still trying to adjust to the idea that I even need to worry about this stuff. I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound until I was around 42. Now 44 and am getting a bit rounder in the middle. People think I'm warped cause I have a 34 inch waist, am 6'0 tall and am concerned. The issue is not that I have a 34 inch waist - it's how that waist is proportioned. I have handles where two years ago there were none. SO I'm going to have to get back into a routine - which as an Army puke I'm supposed to be doing anyway - and for the first time, couple my workout regimen with proper eating habits. I get the feeling this is going to be a serious challenge.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2004/03/05, 10:56 AM If you travel by car, here is a tip. This is what I do. I make up my meals and put them in Glad containers or whatever brand you choose, and freeze them. Put them in a cooler in the car. Bring a fork and knife. All gas stations these days have microwaves, and I have never ofound one yet that told me no I couldn't warm one up there. Just buy a water or something. Very simple to do, you don't have to miss a beat on your diet. ============ Quoting from treadhead: bb1 and charlie - thanks much.
