re: Question for those that have traveled/lived in Europe:

I spent two weeks in Paris recently. I found that I ate less because I was watching where my money went more than anything.

I’m not sold on the idea that the food is better there. Baked goods are, for sure. Meat? Fruit? Definitely not. Wine, cheese, chocolate, sure… that’s their culture.

I did lose weight there, but mostly from walking all day every day and staying conservative on my food budget.
