Thanks Monika. The whole grain bread and cereal will fit perfectly into my diet plan, I will ask my stepdaughter about where to find them. She has lived in Freiburg for over 2 years now. I use a few sugarfree items, like jams, syrups, sodas, and Splenda and Equal to bake and sweeten coffee with. Mostly I eat "real" food and just choose carefully. I don't eat sausages at all, stick to lowfat chicken, pork or fish entrees.

Any information on Paris? Are they as health-consious as the Germans? At least I can read and speak a little French and my stepdaughter can help with German. have been to Prague before and know I will have to be very careful when eating out there, plus I don't have any knowledge of the language. Maybe I will buy bread and cereal in Germany to take with me to Prague, since you give these items the thumbs up!
