Hello Everyone!
I'm new to the country and trying to get used to life here. I was wondering if anyone would help me out in the food department. I usually eat Healthy Life bread (those of you from America might be familiar with the brand). It's very low cal, high in fiber, no refined flour. Anything comparable here? I find that many bakery items don't even provide Nutrition Facts on the label. Also, where can I find decent produce without spending a fortune? Thanks a bunch!

My advice is to buy a bread machine and make your own. It's a fairly simple process and you can ensure that you are getting exactly what you want.

There are machine around town in some shops. You can also pick them up at a British store like Amazon.co.uk and have it shipped (same electrics as Qatar that way).

Wow, that's pretty nice that you can get custom bread! I've seen a lot of bread labeled "multi grain" but I can't tell if it's "whole grain" or not. I'm a newbie when it comes to reading ingredient lists :o(

Thanks for the tip! Do you by any chance remember the name of the brand? Just so I can keep an eye out for it. (I've seen Fage Greek yogurt at MegaMart but it's so expen$ive!)

Megamart which does stock most things but is a rip-off, you may try LULU near landmark (not the one near airport), they have quite a few western foods and packaged breads, also Family Food Centre near Airport has some decent stuff in as well which i was surprised about.

forgot to mention -- if they are not sold out..

one thing you will learn that everything is sold out at one stage and no one knows when it will come back into a shelf. this can take form a few days to several months

Thank you for replying! I'll check out Lulu. And to anyone else who might be reading, would I be able to find Greek yogurt somewhere?
