You are there for a week,I am sure whatever food they have it will be fine. Just keep the portions small and focus on Proteins first.

Im sure the food is no more unhealthy than in other countries such as the USA!

How are you going? I had a trip planned there earlier this year but our wonderful president decided to close Cuba via the two methods I was planning on using to travel there and my trips were cancelled. So jealous is an understatement! I'm still trying to find a way in.

no Whole Foods. You'll have to eat at the restaurants they have for foreigners (which you'd probably want to ANYWAY). The standard meal when I was there seemed to be a slab of meat, Beans & rice, and salad (which we didn't eat because you're basically not supposed to eat the fruits & vegetables unless they're peeled (like bananas) or cooked).

edited to add that granted, it's been several years since I was there (2004), but I'd be surprised if things have changed all that much..

Ropa Viejo there was great ! Shredded beef = protien. I was there 2 years ago and prior to surgery. Back then it was one serving for me, now I'd get 4-5 servings out of it. Enjoy !

That's why I planned my trip as soon as we were able to go, I knew somehow that moron would "F" it up for everyone. The country and the people there are beautiful I hope to go back when you know who is where he belongs wearing an orange jumpsuit to match his face

Could not agree more! I'm still working on a way in, likely through missions work. I don't feel right lying about my reasons for getting in.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
