GERMANY!!

[Striving2B160]

Hey everyone! Right now I am stationed with my husband in Germany are there any local nationals or people who shop on the economy who could maybe help me with some new food ideas. Thanks!

I guess we're almost neighbors. Sorry though, I can't help with your food choices.

OH LUCKY YOU!! I was in Paris this summer and loved it. I mean I almost died when I saw the beauty of paris.Man I am soooo jealous. Are you a local or just visiting?

22 years married to a Frenchman. Guess I'm local now - even made it official and I now have both nationalities.

I love Paris but now two of my three children are Stateside in university so I miss them more than I miss living in the States myself.

I'm heading back for three weeks this saturday. Lucky me :smileangel

New German Low Carb Website

Hi all,

I am a German living in Colorado and started Atkins 6 months ago. I loved it, but when I told my mom in Germany about it, I realized that there isn't much information about it available in the german part of the Internet. So I decided to come up with a site myself

https://www.lowcarbfun.de

So let us know what you think, we are very open to suggestions and feedback.

Happy lowcarbing,
Franziska

I'll be in Germany next month (Frankfurt, Baden-Baden, Berlin, Hannover, along the Romantic Road)

What should I try while I'm there? I'm in maintenance and I don't mind trying a few sweets, either.

Well I am so glad to see that my post made a sticky. Now that I know it will be here everyday lets go ahead and make a bond with the people living in Germany. I look forward to seeing all the responses of people living over here!

Hi Striving,

have you tried "Quark" yet? This is something between Sour Cream and Cream cheese and you can use it in a lot of lc recipes. You can make it a sweet treat with some lc fruits or a salty one with green onions, salt, pepper and herbs (great on lc bread). You can bake with it, too - cheesecake, for instance ;-)

I am trying to think what else is "typical German"...

Hi,

this is Sebastian, from Cologne (Köln) Germany. I will try to think of some good German things to try on Atkins.

Striving, where are you stationed? I have some friends in K-Town and on Rhein Main Airbase.

I am stationed at Grafenwoehr. Close to the CZ boarder. You know it?

I live in Rostock (I'm American, hubby is German) and new to Atkins. :wave

Ok, so I am posting this question here hoping to get some answers but I am not too sure if I will... here it goes:

I am desperately looking for a good carb counter that has german foods and isn't too big to carry around. I have the book "kalorien mundgerecht" and it has an ok carb count on a ton of foods but not the greatest. I really hate German food labels... the majority don't tell you anything. Any suggestions?

[Franziska]

Hi Rehmmasr,

not of the top of my head, but I will post your question in my german forum, I'm sure somebody will recommend one.

Actually, just writing I thought of one - you can get the Atkins Diet Revolution book in German, that should have a carb counter in there.

I'll let you know when I learn more from my group.

Cheers,
Franziska

Hey Franziska,

Thanks a lot. I took a look at your site and it's great. Unfortunately I am not that great in writing in German so I probably won't post there. I am too chicken. :geek You have a lot of useful info. Thanks again for your help :wave

New to Germany!

Hello everyone!

I just moved to Wiesloch (Heidelberg area) and I am having a hard time finding Lo-Carb stuffs. If anyone has information on where to find stuff, please post. Lo-carb pasta, bread and Atkins bars are what I am looking for the most. Its nice to see people in other countries enjoying Atkins as well. Good Luck to everyone!
