A Typical Meal at Home (Where's the Beef?)
This is a typical meal at home (except there is usually rice instead of noodles). We have a steady diet of vegetables, rice, and fruit. A delicacy is crickets which Bob's co-teacher buys for him. Bob entered the Peace Corps weighing 186 pounds. He now weighs 164 pounds. He probably eats as much as he did in America but there is little fat in the diet. He will admit that he gets cravings for pizza or tacos, but the cravings are not as frequent as when he first arrived.
A few of the volunteers have lost 40-60 pounds and have hopefully learned a new way of eating!

Looks pretty tasty!
We eat a lot of bananas, pineapple, oranges, and fruit that there is no English name. As far as vegetables, it's tomatoes, cucumbers, and strange leafy plants that grow in the ditches yet are very tasty.

So I've been looking for a new way to loose some wieght.....hope the trip will help@!
