It is a big myth that Vietnamese food is real fine cuisine and heaps to eat. Everyone who comes and live here are thouroughly disappointed. Hygiene and uncontrolled farming using harmful pesticides is a real threat here. We are still of those very few expats who buy and eat ordinary vegetables...

No, unfortunately not. My husband does not get benefits working for big humanitarian organisations. Just have to do with what is available here ....

This restrictive diet was put on me by the doctor who foudn out that I should not eat any rice, any flour, anything with carbs and fat. But also told me I could eat wholewhaet bread ! Quiet confusing. So, when I have not been feeling well at all, I have cheated and taken half a slice with a pin...

I have never liked eating them, they are my utter nightmare food along with salmon and fishy fish. It's been like that since I was a child. I have eaten lean ham in cheese sandwich but without a good bread, butter and cheese it will not go down. :cry:

Hi, I am still battling to find a decent filling breakfast. I have oats with skim milk n tea, a couple of strawberries, but have been reading it is still bad on glucose. I don't eat beacon, ham, sausage, egg yolks, what can I eat for Breakie?

I am totally devastated by this condition and all its negative aspects and complications are horrendous. I wonder whether I can choose to have euthanasia in the most painless way ? It is much better than this constant battle, it feels like you have suddenly been denied of life !!!! I am dieting...
