Hi there,
I am British living in Switzerland. I just happened to see the title of this thread as it was bumped on to the list.
It's interesting that you stopped doing low carb. I have only been doing it for close to three months - although I did something similar 20 years ago when living in Germany - and I really feel great. I am quite strict about not eating pasta, rice, potatoes, pastry, in fact anything flour based or starchy, except for one thin rye cracker at breakfast. I used to get cranky and crave food and even get light headed when I ate carbs. Now I don't at all. I just get mild hunger signals sometimes that I can mostly ignore till mealtime. It remains to be seen whether I can sustain it - at least till I've reached my weight goal, but I don't see any reason why not for now.
Low carb may not be the panacea for everyone but I'm curious to know why you think it gave you problems.
