We’re so careful about what we eat here at home, checking labels, avoiding Hi-FI foods. Yet when traveling abroad, especially in places like Europe or Asia, everything changes. I eat freely—bread, pasta, even foods I’d normally avoid—and not only do I feel amazing, but I often come back lighter.
The difference? Quality. Take wheat, for example. In other countries, I can enjoy bread and pasta without issue. Here, it’s loaded with glyphosate and other additives that leave me feeling awful. And then there’s the food itself—fresh, clean, and simple. When we stopped in Seoul on our way to Bali, I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with the food, but it was incredible—pure, high-quality protein and fresh vegetables. No additives, no processed junk—just real food that fuels you.

Is this why when I go to Korea and eat everything in sight I don’t gain any weight ? Lol
Everyone I know echoes this same sentiment. They eat what they want and don’t gain weight in Europe and Asian countries. Better food standards equals healthier people.
Let’s hope RFK is actually able to start changing how our food is made🤞🏻
How do you get such cut arms?
In Europe they don’t use Glyphosates !! Go Europe
When I travel to Europe or most other places outside the US, I feel better too. I eat lots and lots of delicious foods and lose a couple pounds every time. Oh, big sigh…wish our food were better quality here too.
MAHA THANKS TO TRUMP AND RFK
