Looking for recommendations

[ShannonK]

I am an American living in The Netherlands. I can get almost everything I need here and some things are wonderful. For example, the produce is beautiful and the chicken, pork and beef is incredibly fresh.

I am having trouble reading the labels on vitamins, though. I need something that won't make me sick. I usually feel nauseous with a full strength vitamin and resort to childrens flintstones, just to have something. Any thoughts? I can order online.

I doubt that I will eat foods such as bars and shakes, but I am also looking for low carb options in the maintenance, pre-maintenance phase. Perhaps, low carb whole grain tortillias? Oatmeal? Pasta? Anything you just love?
Thanks!

SHannon, if the questions is for when you get to pre-maintenance, perhaps you would get more responses posting this in the maintenance thread. Most of us aren't eating those things yet so we can't really advise you. The only things I see myself adding back are an occasional low carb tortilla, steel cut oats, and yams. I don't miss potatoes and cannot muster portion control for pasta although I love it.

On the vitamins, I too get nauseous sometimes. I try different brands and some bother me less than others. The kid vitamins may have sugar--you should check. I try to take vitamins after a meal because on an empty stomach I have actually thrown up from the nausea.
