French Women

Did you now that only 11 per cent of French people are obese compared to 30 per cent of Americans who are 30 pounds heavier than a healthy weight ? If you go France, most women are not overweight In fact they are skin-and-bones slim And yet, the Americans are always on a diet and the French subsist on :"fattening foods" like bread, cheese and wine. This phenomena is known as " the French paradox" and there is no one better than the author to explain it. The French treat food as a social activity, instead of eating it while watching T.V. The French are also active- they walk.... to walk, to stores, to the metro. Their portions are smaller but their food more filling. But what the fat is that the French have a certain sense of style, a wonderful vanity that would never allow them to get fats!
If you have been spending your entire life counting calories, then this is the book for you written by Mireille Guiliano.
The diet and weight loss points made in this book could be summed up.

    I know some fat French women here in America. Seriously! But then, I guess the location has everything to do with it...
