Today I learned that Canada is no longer part of North America.
You are confusing the continent (North America) with the country (America).
There is no country "America".
We refer to ourselves as Americans and we live in America (at least where I am from).0 -
yes, you willl gain at least 10lbs in 10days coming to America.
All we have to eat here is donuts and cupcakes....salads have been banned, and anything remotely resembling lean protein gets sent to mexico and canada.0 -

I have gained weight and I have lost weight. But I really don't think that has anything to do with being in America. That happens ANYWHERE.
Yes and no. If you're on holiday you tend to do most of your eating out at restaurants and whatnot. I've been to a fair few countries, and my experience of the US (I've been to NY, Vegas, Boston, Vermont, Phoenix, Orlando and some bits in between, so by no means a full tour, so I'm generalising) is that typically (not always, but typically) restaurant portion sizes are vastly (as in sometimes threefold) bigger than anywhere else. If you're living in a country and cooking what you eat then no, the country makes no difference, but if you're eating out every night and always clear your plate then chances are you will end up eating much more in the US than most places.0 -
lol@Canadian pride/American hate
Newsflash: OP is not starting an America versus the world thread, she is asking for experiences on vacationing to America in regards to weight gain.
I know it is hard to not step outside your door, find your nation's flag, and proceed to wave it furiously as a response to any thread with the word "America" in it, but try it just once.
Believe it or not, most American's don't walk around in the U.S. screaming "WE LOVE MURICA". I know it is crazy.
Also to note: Nationality is generally arbitrary, and the term "American" is generally referred to people living in the United States.
Get over yourselves.0 -
Non trollish answer time:
Whenever you're traveling there's always a chance you'll put on weight because you'll wanna sample the cuisine, try new things. It has nothing to do wth where you're going really ( I gained 6 lbs after a week in Scotland a few years back).
Just try to keep your calories in check and try to burn some of them off! Every time I travel I walk quite a bit even if I don't take the time for a "real" workout.0 -
as one poster said, it will depend on where you are visiting. North or South? Canada, US, Islands? Region dishes vary considerably, but 99% of the restaurants will offer something healthy. Hope you have a great trip!
Canada is now in America? Do they know this because last I heard many of them aren't fans of Americans.
Yes actually. Canada is part of the North America- The Continent.0 -
If I was going on a trip to 'Merica I would eat whatever I pleased... (srs) Living down under you don't often get the chance to fly across the world. I doubt I'd gain more than a few pounds doing this, and I'd have no problem getting back on the wagon. But that's just me.0

Canada is absolutely a part of the continent of North America.
WE DON'T LIKE TO ADVERTISE IT!!!
I told you they don't like Americans. I read it all the time on Facebook so I try to keep my distance.
I guess I need to clue in all my Canadian friends about this.0 -
i'm not quoting that entire song lyric source posted, bc its too freaking long, but just because someone calls it America in a song doesnt make it the actual name. Its just too many syllables to be singing "the united states of america, the united states of america, god shed his grace on theeeeeeee" artistic license people COME ON.
no wonder people hate us.0 -

I think what they meant was North America and Canada is part of North America. For that matter, the name of our country is the United States OF America, not just "America". But whatever.
As you clearly see here not all Americans are "friendly" but "whatever".
I'm sorry. I've obviously hurt your feelings. I guess the better thing to do would be to encourage the misinformed so that we continue to climb the ranks as the fattest and least informed nation.0 -

Read it on Facebook. Must be true :indifferent:
Didn't read it on Facebook, experienced it on Facebook. The people of Canada were bashing Americans. It's not my fault, I am only passing along what they said.0 -
Oh good, this is still happening....my popcorn just finished! ...Nothing speaks to our culture quite like my countrymen & our friendly neighbors to the North duking it out. :noway:0

What does us being the fattest nation have to do with what we call America?0 -

Please show me a map with a country called America on it!
There is the continent of North America and then there is the United States of America.

America the Beautiful
O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for pilgrim feet
Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare of freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self-control,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife.
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness
And every gain divine!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea!
O beautiful for halcyon skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the enameled plain!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till souls wax fair as earth and air
And music-hearted sea!
O beautiful for pilgrims feet,
Whose stem impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till paths be wrought through
wilds of thought
By pilgrim foot and knee!
O beautiful for glory-tale
Of liberating strife
When once and twice,
for man's avail
Men lavished precious life!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till selfish gain no longer stain
The banner of the free!
O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God shed his grace on thee
Till nobler men keep once again
Thy whiter jubilee!
And here's a fine specimen of the stereotypical ones I was mentioning earlier. Congrats!

I'm Canadian.. My husband is American. We don't dislike ALL of them. Just the stereotypical ones.
Obviously. And it would suck to be you to be such a person with negativity in her life, because I don't dislike anyone "typical" of any country. I look at people as individuals and not as a "mass" of "typicals".0 -
I will take the high road and assume this is serious.
1. Welcome. Enjoy your trip.
2. Try and eat at non-chain restaurants.
3. If you must eat at a chain, do not eat at Olive Garden. It is an abomination.
4. If you must eat at a chain, some Applebees are good, others stink.
5. Use sites like TripAdvisor to see about local restaurants. Always trust the negative reviews.
If you are visiting NYC or West Palm Beach Florida, message me for recommendations.
Yeah I'm going to attempt to be somewhat helpful too, but you have to say where in America you're going.
I agree - don't eat at chain restaurants if you can avoid them. Use UrbanSpoon and/or Yelp to find good local restaurants. (But Olive Garden is definitely better than Applebees by far. Although if I had to pick a chain, I'd say Ruby Tuesday for the salad bar. I guess. If I had to pick a chain.)
If you're heading to DC, Baltimore, or anywhere in Virginia, let me know and I can recommend more places.0 -
Where are you going?
That's like me saying I'm going to Europe.
not really, we can't afford the fast food over here :laugh: and tbh it's not very fast :drinker:
I've been to Europe twice and there was a McDonald's. I also came across many other unhealthy food places. Point is, you can get "fat" anywhere.0 -
There's North America and South America. There's The Americas. There's the United States of America. Which one are you going to?
Hey now! Don't forget about Central America! It's little but it's there!0 -

Alrighty then, we have a woman here who is degrading people based on their country. I won't be around anyone like that. Have a good day in your lovely country and thank you for sharing that you are so much above others based on where you were born.
I'm off of here now. This is sickening.0 -

People every where bash Americans not just in Canada.
And Americans bash people from other countries.
To say that Canadians don't like Americans is rather funny since, well I have a LOT of Canadian friends and I am American.0 -

So that brought you to the conclusion that all Canadians hate Americans? :laugh:0 -
Any city you head to will have healthful food options. If you're int he sticks - good luck honey! :flowerforyou:
:noway: Huh? I live in the sticks. We have veggies, fruit, lean meats, and all the other healthier options. Heck, we even have local, organically grown fruits/veggies in-season and free-range, grass-fed, no-hormones-added meats and restaurants with vegan, vegetarian, low-carb and other diet-specific options.
Stereotype much?0 -
fast food is more expensive here. and there isnt a mcdonalds in every corner. also, our kids dont eat pizza as salad
edit. i tried to quote someone, i failed miserably0
