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
Discussion
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 
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
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 😄
