Ik ben er ook nog, hoor! :wave Ik woon dan wel in Ghana, maar ben zo Hollands als boerenkool met worst :yes
mooie foto's trouwens, die nieuwe haarkleur staat je prachtig!
Veel succes met afvallen - je hoeft vast niet veel meer...

groetjes,
Ria

I live in the Dutch speaking part of Belgium(I'm American though). Are there a lot of low carb products available in NL? My Dutch spelling sucks so I am not even going to bother. :help

Both my grandparents emigrated to America back in the 1920 or 30s. Actually was fluent in Dutch after 3 years of college Dutch - did quite a bit of history reading old Dutch newspapers (printed just after settlement) and letters, but am so out of practice today.

COOL!! Finally some replies...hehe

Ria, hoe lang woon je nu in Ghana?
ik wil nog 10 kilo afvallen...maar ik weet het nog niet zeker...Bedankt en groetjes!

Maggie, I'm also from America...I married a Dutch guy. I can speak Dutch pretty fluent, but writing is really hard.

There are a couple of stores here that sell low carb stuff...our grocery store just started carrying some bars and stuff...but I barely ever get them. Try ketolife.nl you can order pretty much everything from there.

Bowolf, you can practice your Dutch here...it's easy to forget if you don't use it...I'm sure you understand pretty much everything written in Dutch though...right?

Hoi ik ben Marian, 46 jaar en sinds gisteren lid van dit forum. Grappig om hier Nederlands tegen te komen. Ik ben ook al lid van een paar Nederlandse atkinsfora en dacht dat ik hier misschien nog wel het een en ander kon leren om weer door te geven.
Hoe is het met jullie? Nog steeds lid hier?
In Nederland zijn sinds kort een aantal atkinsproducten te koop bij Albert Heijn, en bij diverse bakkers wat koolhydraatarm brood. Jaja, het gaat de goede kant op.

Kan iedereen dit volgen of zal ik het ook nog even vertalen?
Anyone here who prefers English?
Yes, there are several atkins- and lowcarbproducts in the stores here, also lowcarb bread at some bakeries.
More about me in the "introduce yourself" section...

Voor wie het interesseert hier wat Nederlandse en Belgische atkinslinks.

Hallo

I am a Canadian living here now in the Netherlands with my soon to be husband. I can read Dutch much better right now then I can write. Practice makes perfect. I am happy to see that there are a few of us out there that are struggling with the many french fry stands that are everywhere, I swear my knees go weak when I walk by one of them. I look forwards to talking with all those here. I am now converting many recipes I have into low carb and for products that I can find here in the Netherlands....perhaps we can swap recipes or ideas. Talk with everyone soon.

Hier nog een dutchy en zelfs een echte :wave (here another dutchy and even a real one)
Maar ik verkas over een aantal maanden naar de USA, wel fijn dat ik daar van veel meer atkinsprodukten gebruik kan maken !! (I am moving to the USA in a couple of months, good thing that I can use way more atkinsproducts overthere)
Sterkte allemaal en veel succes (Good luck to you all and a lot of succes)

Re: The Netherlands

Hi, all of the Americans/Canadians/Australians living in Holland. I am from California and speak Dutch enough to get around but not to carry on a fluent conversation, with all of the dialects. I'm lost at a birthday party.
There is a wonderful book called Kijk op joules en calorieen by Nicoline Duinker-Joustra , I
SBN Number 9060203933 and costs 5,10 Euros. I live with this next to my computer, and can put all of my daily foods, etc into Fitday.com. C1000 and some other groceries are now carrying Koolhydraten arme bread(less carbohydrates). The one I use has only 5 carbos. (from C1000). There are few other foods that are low carbo, but some are coming out. I lost 27 pounds by just following the Atkins plan and exercise( working hard in garden). I lived at the garden( a Dutch treat), so picked what I ate, except for the meat, of course. Didn't use all of the crutches found in America, and it was best. Once I started using these products, brought back from visits to US., I started gaining.
Good luck, with the low carb plan and learning Dutch. Don't use crutches with either situation; stick with simple foods, and stick with using Dutch as much as possible. When you revert back to English most of the time, you'll stay stuck. Be brave! Barbara in Holland
