Well, not really, but it might help the weight loss process to act like a French woman!
Say "Bonjour" to food...and here's why...
French women....
Typically think about the good things to eat.
American women typically think about the bad things to eat.
French women eat smaller portions of more things.
American women eat large portions of fewer things.
eat more vegetables.
eat alot more fruit.
love bread and would never consider a life without carbs.
don't eat "fat-free", "sugar-free", or anything artificually stripped of natural flavor. they go for the real thing in moderation.
love chocolate, especially the dark, slightly bitter, silky stuff with its nutty aroma.
eat with all five senses, allowing less to seem like more.
balance their food, drink, and movement on a week-by-week basis.
do stray, but they always come back, believing there are only detours and no dead ends.
eat three meals a day.
don't snack all the time.
never let themselves be hungry.
never let themselves feel stuffed.
drink water all day long.
plan meals in advance and think in terms of menus even at home.
think dining in is as sexy as dining out.
care enormously about the presentation of food.
walk everywhere they can.
take the stairs whenever possible.
eat and serve what's in season, for maximum flavor and value, and know availability does not equal quality.
eat for pleasure.
don't get fat.
From the book, French Women Don't Get Fat by Mireille Guilliano
