 This is my fourth week in Europe. Came here in shape, still in shape. Can’t test out the npcs theory that it’s tHe FoOd but I definitely confirmed my theory that you def walk way more here and the portion sizes are smaller 
 My advice is try not being a lazy glutton back home in the states hehe 
 If you really want to lose weight it’s simple, fast 
 Instead of the gym, simply walking everywhere is sufficient cardio . I would run on the treadmill in the states prob a few times a week, swim everyday https://image.nostr.build/87cc89cafcd27696500bacc836f9912f4cedbe8ec74383db5e6cf8f845ff7409.jpg  
 But yes, it’s the food, you’re a victim of circumstance, there are no fat ppl in Europe, and nothing is your fault hehe just believe everything on the internet. Comfortable lies are nicer to hear than the harsh truth, that it’s 100% your fault 
 It’s the food for one but also most European cities are more walkable in general. You have to drive everywhere in the US 
 How come there are so many fat eurofags then 
 Btw, muted 
 Eat less, fast, work out.

For sure portion and lifestyle (walking) differences, but glyphosate is a big player too (at least for grains). My wife literally cannot eat grains/bread or cheese in the USA. She gets sick every time. She is complete fine when we go to Italy and eats everything. 

Pasta/pizza/pastries nonfungible between countries 😄 
 Placebo effect 
 Test it out. Serve her some imported Italian food, tell her it’s American but to see if it still upsets her stomach. She will eat it and be like omg I’m so sick I told you I can’t 
 😂 we’ve tried but I’ll give it another go 
 You’ve tried to trick her and test the placebo theory? No
