French Women Don't Get Fat



In all my studies as a Nutritionist, never once did a teacher or class hit so perfectly on weight management. I learned about the science of the body and food, calories, carbohydrates, protein, glucose...I could go on for hours. This book explains the simple way to balance the paradox that is managing weight and being a happy, normal person. It actually works. Any book that encourages, drinking wine, eating chocolate and riding my sweet beach cruiser to work is the plan for me! A switch just flipped in my head...I no longer obsess about what I'm eating (or not eating), I just eat three good meals, and if one is a little bit heavier, the next one will be light. For some people, this is kind of a "duh" moment. Not me, I guess I'm a little behind. Read the book. It'll make you want to drink good champagne and choose one bite of something really, really good over a while bunch of just okay. Quality over quantity people! I kind of want to move to France, but I don't think my high school French would get me very far. Au Revoir!

Mireille Guiliano is the author of French Women Don't Get Fat and she has a few more books along the same theme. My next read will be French Women For All Seasons. She has a great website as well to check out:
