What to eat and what to avoid - at least, if you want to keep the pounds off?This is a question many immigrants ask since the food in the US is not only different; it also has a lot of hidden fats. In Austria, we are used to eat the visible fat on meat - most Americans feel disgusted just by the thought of it. We also use butter on sandwiches. Still, I believe our diet in Austria has been less fat-saturated than here.
In the first months after our arrival, I gained a couple of pounds because I just didn't realize how many calories are in a burger or in a slice of pizza. Since I returned to daily cooking, mostly Austrian dishes, the pounds are gone.

Wow! that looks very yummy Christiane!
I also found food was challenging when we first moved from France to the US. But the good news is that it's possible to eat well and find healthy tasty stuff. I agree, one needs to know the good places to go to and the little tricks.
Have a great day!
At the beginning we wanted to try out all of the new dishes. We have been curious and yes, a lot of things look very yummy. But this yummy-ness comes with a heavy pricetag- lots of calories.
