A Weight-Loss Shopping Basket at Lidl and Delhaize

Moving abroad doesn’t break your diet because “everything here is different” — it’s because your usual products are gone and you haven’t found the substitutes yet. It’s a matter of one trip to the store with a list.

The basics you’ll find in any Lidl, Aldi, Delhaize, or Carrefour: eggs, chicken and turkey, quark or skyr cheese, grains, frozen vegetables, oil. That’s enough to cover your protein without breaking the budget.
