Hello,
I am going to have to go abroad for quite a while (half year) to Asia (Taiwan) starting next week.
After experimenting for years I found out I need to adhere to a high carb, moderate protein, low fat dietary regimen to feel good (otherwise I get tons of low blood sugar symptoms and just feel/preform bad).
After researching online it seems in this country these days (in the cities atleast where I will be), they consume tons of fried/high-fat foods basically, it seems to be difficult to come by simple foods that do not contain a lot of added oil/are not baked/fried etc. I also will not have my own kitchen most likely, so I cannot cook at home and will be on the move a lot.
I have found out they sell imported breakfast cereals (such as Kelloggs) in certain supermarket. These would fit my criteria of being high carb low fat.
The only problem is they contain a lot of added iron, and if I am going to be getting 50%+ of my daily calories from these foods for such a long time I wonder what this will do for me in terms of health with such a high iron intake.
Any insight into this or ideas are greatly appreciated.
