Still active?
Heya everyone! I was wondering if some of you are still active here since I saw that the last post was in 2015.
Swiss foods
My motivation to start this group is that MFP is great, but its databases are - by necessity - very USA-centric. I have found myself adding many foods from Migros and Coop (all of which have great nutritional info), and I have discovered that many foods had already been added. I therefore surmise that many MFP users are…
Hello from Geneva
Hello MFPers from Switzerland! My name is Christina and I am living in Geneva. I started on MFP about a year and a half ago but stopped again after a few months. In total, I have been working on controlling my eating and weight for about 7 years and lost nearly 30 kg, but have taken on again about 4 kg during the last 6…
I am back...where I started
Hi all, I am back.... I say this with a little sadness as I put on all the weight I had lost by overeating the past couple of months, about 2.5 kg since last weigh in end Sept :( I have been going through some stressful tiem and my emotional eating has crept up again... I just cannot control it and feel I need to stuff my…
Schweiz
In einer Schweiter-Gruppe sollte man doch Deutsch oder Schwizerdütsch schreiben, oder nicht? :tongue:
Almond milk
I just wanted to try Almond milk, but I have never seen one in Migros or Coop! The supermarkets in my area are small ones. Does anybody know where to buy them?

Antenna trail
Just wanted to say that I managed to ride down the entire Antenna Trail, including the lethal lower third of it - twice, yesterday and today! And this was accomplished without injury! The Antenna Trail ends, very conveniently, close to the Triemli City Hospital where bikers may be met by the friendly and competent…
protein supplements
This one goes to my friends who love protein supplements. I shall be pleased to stand corrected - but intuitively I fail to see the point of such supplements. Protein may not create insulin spikes, but it is almost as caloric as sugar (just 10% less). If the overall goal of the diet is to reduce caloric intake, why on…
size of trousers in Switzerland
So, I have successfully reduced my waist from size 38 to 34, but I am confronted with an unanticipated problem. Because I do a lot of biking (often >3hrs/day), my thighs (quadriceps muscles) have grown quite considerably. I am no body builder and classify this as a mild nuisance rather than an accomplishment, but that is…
