These sandwiches are also popular in Belgium. My favorite are found at Sultan's a fantastic Turkish kebab shop in Herselt, Belgium. The sandwiches are massive, filling, and you can optionally add curry ketchup! Of course since it is Belgium, frites on the side are a must!

I like to add a large dollop of either plain yogurt or low-fat cottage cheese to the bottom of my cereal bowl. Plunk on the puffed kamut. Add the fruit. Pour on the almond milk. Stir. Then add more puffed kamut and almond milk. Stir until everything is mixed up. The cottage cheese or yogurt make the cereal creamy. When I need some extra calories - I'll add in some Ensure/Boost type product.
I can also eat puffed kamut dry.
If I'm eating oatmeal, oat bran, etc., I start with water and then add in yogurt or cottage cheese once the overnight soaking process is complete. A spoonful of peanut butter is nice as well.

All-Bran Choco! This cereal can only be purchased in Belgium. Imagine spoonful sized shredded wheat. Now make the shredded wheat bittersweet chocolate - inside the shredded wheat - a nugget of dark chocolate. Perfect. Doesn't turn the milk brown so I feel good about eating it. And besides the fiber content helps.

Here at home - a bowl of All-Bran Buds mixed with the honey flavored Kashi Go Lean puffs.

sweet and smoky bison sausage removed from casings, cooked in skillet with broccoli florets then tossed with whole-wheat pasta. very tasty. also a salad to start made with spinach, carrots, yellow pepper, green onion and radish.

I'm a Canadian. First generation Canadian. I agree that Canadian food is very regional. But I also think that every person's definition of Canadian food is quite personal. My parents are British so I grew up basically eating British food in Canada. I also grew up in Saskatchewan - so along with the British food, I got my share of cabbage rolls, perogies, saskatoon berries, etc. My husband's family is Acadian. So he grew up eating Acadian food. Two very different Canadian food experiences. I get a kick out of restaurants that advertise cuisine such as: Chinese and Canadian food, Italian and Canadian food. We don't visit such restaurants - the Canadian food component kind of scares us. Anyway, my two cents on the Canadian food thing.

We were eating at our favorite Lebanese restaurant and a family of four sat down beside us. They had falafel on the table amongst other things. This is what I heard "I don't know I think they are called matzo balls". I grinned and then told the family that they were called falafel and were made of chick peas. Makes me smile when I order falafel now.

I just ate my first can of sardines. These were packed in water. Quite tasty. I ate them plain right out of the can with a little pepper on top. Thanks for the sardine tips. They are an excellent source of protein.

I've been reading your posts and I'm quite impressed. Though I do have one concern - the foods you listed in this article as breakfast foods - are not breakfast foods. Rather they are treats and indulgences. I think that if you were to cut out the refined sugar, you would see some great gains/losses. I know it is challenging considering your career...
I do not have a lot of weight to lose - 15 lbs (primarily for athletic reasons) - I started a clean eating program on Jan. 31 and have since lost 8.8 lbs without really trying.
Keep up the efforts and movement towards a healthy lifestyle.
