[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2746217, member: 88961"] We are usually in Thailand at this time of year too, but this year, life got in the way. Anyway, for breakfast there, I usually have hard boiled eggs (I batch cook them), with a tomato, cucumber and if I'm starvin' Marvin, I'll add some cheese. When we have been in hotels, I have often had an omelette with ham or such likes. I don't know what your lifestyle is when away, but I walk a LOT, so generally speaking my insulin sensitivity is great there. That said, I do pretty much stay low carb, even though even the tropical fruits don't touch me. For dinners, we always eat out and I just stick with the tasty bit of the meal (i.e. the curry) and forget the rice/noodles. After the first raised eyebrow, nobody bother. If you are in an apartment or house, and will be shopping for some food (Brekkers and drinks in our case), then look around. Many places have Australian supermarkets and Greek yoghurt is available in there. The supermarket chain, Lotus is their version of Tesco, and they carry a good variety of Tesco own label products, although they are mainly store cupboard items, rather than fresh. If you are in or near any of the bigger resports and there is an ex-pat community there will likely even be at least one shop selling baked beans, Lea & Perrins, Branston Pickle and the like. :) You might just have to ask around. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
