Kanelsnegl (Danish cinnamon pastry) I love love love these... I am not allowed to eat them at the moment, because of the fodmaps in them, but they will be first thing I will eat when trying out which fodmaps I do tolerate!! The EU is actually considering regulating the amount of cinnamon on these, since they are at a…

Seems like you have made some great choices in regards to cutting out fodmaps and you are giving me great ideas on how to avoid fodmaps when grocery shopping, but again I realize that it is much easier living outside of Denmark when dealing with a low fodmap diet. I now have to pack my own snacks if I am going to town for…

That is not a dumb question! I didn't know what it was until my doctor told me to try it out, since they couldn't find anything physically wrong with me. That was a few weeks ago!!! If you have any questions feel free to ask :)

I am an Ethnologist, but taking a break from that field, so now I amm working part time at the International office at a danish university while studying (again) to get another degree...

I totally understand you, I was invited to a BBQ last weekend and I felt so stupid telling people why I wasn't eating anything. There just wasn't anything I was able to eat. I do not know my trigger foods yet, so I am staying away from all fodmaps. I tried to explain to people why I coudn't eat anything and I was told I…

Thank you for the great tip, I have now subscribed the page and am hoping I get inspired when it comes to dinner recipes. My daughter is a little annoyed by "our" new diet. Yesterday I went to the supermarket and saw they had spelt flour for only 2 €uros (for one kg), which is such a good price compared to the 4-5 € they…

I am so glad I am not the only one here doing this low fodmap thing. I am now in week 3 but I feel great! I bought a danish book that explains the low fodmap diet and has a bunch of recipes. Although I eat only low fodmap I sometimes get those acid burns as well as light belly aches. I got really sick after eating a low…

I am also looking for friends who are active and supportive. I am Danish, so my food will mainly be danish food, since I am using the barcode scanner (yes, I had complaints about my food being logged in Danish). I log every day and I normally work out 4-6 times a week, except from study-for-my-exams-periods, which I am in…

Still looking, and only for being doing low-fodmap ;)

I wish Denmark had US prices, I sometimes feel like it is not possible having a healthy and balanced lifestyle when living in Denmark. Here are some of the prices at the moment: 1 lbs of chicken (breast): starting at $ 9 2 lbs of speltflour: $ 4.50 1 lbs of greek yoghurt: $ 4.50 1 liter of 0.5 % milk: $ 1.50 a jar of…

Pasta with meatsauce and a lot of salad (plus dressing) Sauce Hollandaise on pizza Bread with nutella and a thick layer of salty butter (the danish kind) All these I haven't ate in years, but i would eat them if I had the possibility to do so. Since I am in China in the moment I really really love Mango / coconut juice…

11 1/2 years. I did go on 5 dates in those 11 1/2 years, but they were dates as going to the movies, out for dinner etc. I don't think they count.

It doesn't say located, only that you have logged in for 185 days. Do not use google translation to translate, that's when you end up with weird translations as the one you ended up with.. :P BTW congratulations on your 185 days.. Are you logging in from Germany? Maybe your phone has located you within Germany and wanted…

I think it is a great idea, I went to danish schools as a kid and in those schools it is not allowed to give the kid unhealthy food with them. Only fruits, veggies, water or milk, whole wheat bread should be in their lunch box. Kids are not allowed to bring candy, soda, ice tea, toast / sandwich bread, nutella, chips etc.…

I live in a huge Asparagus area, so we eat it ALL THE TIME. Here we spice it with: parsley fry it with a little lavender never forget lemon and a little sugar in the boiling water Most people eat it with a little butter and boiled ham I am all for trying all sorts of different herbs and spices and eventually you will find…

I like this thread, since there are a lot of things people do not believe about me.. :D 1. People believe I weigh 180, when in reality I weigh 220 ( I hide the lbs pretty well) 2. Nobody believes I haven't been in any kind of relationship for the past 11 1/2 years!! 3. Nobody believes I haven't been intimate with anybody…

I am in the same boat as the rest of you. Most people do not believe I weigh that much, because I don't look it. I sometimes wonder myself where I am hiding all the fat.. LOL For some reason they all believe I weigh around 180!!!! Age: 34 Height: 5'9 CW: 224 GW: 150

I would say a day at the spa sounds great, but she might not want to go alone, so either you would have to go with her, or you could get her best friend to go with.

Congratulations, that's awesome. Nothing feels better on the body than clothes that used to be too small!!

I have a love / hate relationship with shoes!! The shoes I walk in around and use for a daily usage have to be at least a size larger than what I would normally wear, I need to be able to move my toes at any time. When it comes to exercising I tend to start out with shoes, especially in Zumba class, but after 5 minutes my…

Thank you all for the great advice. I will try everything that doesn't involve buying american products from Amazon.com. By the time the product will finally arrive in Denmark the ants will either have taken over or I will already be gone for the summer on vacation. But thanks again for the great help.. :D

Thanks guys for the great advice. As 5ftnFun already noticed, I live in Denmark and we don't have access to all those great spray-poison-bomb-traps that you guys have in the US. I am having my friend send me something from Germany, let's up it will help. The poison trap I am having right now should be working, it always…

Thank you so much for starting the topic travel girl, and thanks so much MyChocolate for the answer. I have been self sabotating myself ever since I started being a big girl. My problem has always been that as soon as I start seeing a result I would "reward" myself. I would stop eating clean and basically just snack all…

As many others on here have already said, Zumba is for anyone. In our class we have big girls who have 70 lbs and more to lose like me, and we have the skinny tiny ones. How much you get out of it depends on your effort, are you moving in a moderate pace and just going from one side to the other? Or are you actually…

@ drunken Big Yes!!

I really really like your reply, I think it is a great advice! I believe it is always possible that there is a reason for why people change, have BO, don't clean their house etc. Always try to be the best friend possible and be there for support.

@ solar I guess bang and date, but not in that order

a persian prince on a flying carpet :D
