Richa Prasad, a content creator from Seattle, relocated to Portugal and discovered distinct lifestyle habits that contributed to her weight loss of 20 pounds. She realized that Europeans prioritize seated meals, taking time for conversation rather than rushing through meals or drinks. This slower pace influenced her mindset on wellness, moving away from extreme dieting practices common in the US to a more consistent, balanced approach. Instead of focusing solely on productivity, life in Europe encompasses a steadier rhythm that promotes overall well-being.
I’d walk around with a drink in hand, sometimes even having my lunch on the go. I felt it was productive to knock out two tasks at the same time, but I noticed people kept giving me weird looks. Turns out nobody in Europe walks and eats.
In Seattle, nights out meant slamming drinks. In Europe, people nurse their drinks for hours.
Whenever I meet new people in Europe, nobody ever asks me, 'What do you do?' In the US, that’s the first thing people want to know... In Europe, work is just one part of life, like going to a cafe.
They just exist in a steady rhythm, and that's the shift that changed everything for me.
