Anyone else here from the Philippines? :)
 
Hi guys. just wanted to know if there's anyone in this support group from the Philippines? If so, would you guys know where to find "controlled-carb tortillas" and the other specialized atkins food recommended in the book? Because I really don't want to order from the net. hehe. (i'm not used to it)

thanks all!

hi!

I'm from the Philippines. Will start LC tomorrow. :)

I live in Puerto Galera. It's too hard to stay on LC for me now. It's so hard to find salad!

try healthy options, they have lots of LC stuff :) also, some of the rustans would have.. rustans ayala has so much health food, I bought alot of russel stovers chocolate from there =p uh, these are the LC cheat products =p

for main food when I'm in philippines I just eat normally, minus the obvious carbs.. so order without rice etc. works out fine.

Hi all! I am a low-carber, moving to Manila next year. My husband and I go to Filipino restaurants in the DC Metro area and enjoy it a great deal. However, we fail to find much on the menu that is lower carb. Any ideas of what to order?

I LOVE TO PANCIT BUHOL! YUMMMMMMMMM!

my husband is from manila and my sil is there now for the month visiting....he's suppose to do atkins with me soon, real soon if i have anything to do about it...giving up rice and mcdonalds is going to be reallll hard for him...are u filipino?

aprils0909 Fri, Dec-15-06 11:33

Not Filipina, but I am moving there for work. I absolutely loved what I've tried so far re food. DANGEROUS! The pancit is sooooooooo freaking good! I wonder if they have those noodles in wheat? Maybe not. :)

stacy0912 Sat, Dec-16-06 22:10

my inlaws make that and i never liked it...we're going to nyc to visit them in a couple of weeks and mil cooks ALL THE TIME...my sil is in manila now visiting for three weeks. i'm the only person not filipino in the family lol. i love them though, super nice. my sil wanted me to go with her to manila this month but then she remembered i'll probably get kidnapped being white lol. my husband and his family imigrated to nyc and san diego...most live here but there are a few members back in the philipines. that's amazing your moving there for work, i've never heard of anyone moving there because of that...gltu

I'm surprised! There are so many American companies and organizations in Manila. As a fellow white girl, I can tell you that you're pretty safe with exception of Mindinao (the southern island). You'd really have to make an effort to get all the way down there. Traffic and pollution are your big obstacles.

What kinds of Filipino food do you enjoy? I know very little about it, except the noodles and adobo I mentioned.
