@heleneinbetween: This is deeply personal and completely on me. I am by no means saying “The USA made me gain weight.” I am also not saying anyone needs to change their body. But I think it’s important to discuss that there are foods that are banned. And well, that is weird. I am moving back to England in October and I’ve started walking 20,000 steps every day (you can see more on stories!) and trying to re-focus on health. #expat #traveltok #usavseurope #europe #usa #traveltiktok #expat #expatlife

I think you just naturally move more there. I’m from Germany living in the US now for a year working from home and I didn’t gain any weight 🤷♀️

It’s not so much the food additives but portions, cooking practices and lifestyle.

This! I eat more when I go to Europe and don’t restrict food groups and lose weight each time. I feel genuinely sick when I start eating at home again

I lost 10-15 pounds when I was in England for 5 MONTHS. I ate the same things, only difference was walking more and the stricter food regulations.

Everytime I go home to Canada since moving abroad I have horrible stomach issues. The food just isn’t the same.

I think it’s easier to make healthy choices abroad. Not impossible in the US. And it’s not due to the “banned chemicals” that’s alread been debunked.

I guess it's not only the kind of food and and ingredients but maybe also more motion, as you said and and feeling of being free and with less fear.

You made a lifestyle change in Germany & stopped when you moved back to the states. There’s 16 ‘chemicals’ banned in the US allowed in the EU
