The French Woman Diet: Is Losing Weight This Simple?

A recently released book ‘French Women Don’t Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure’ encourages readers to enjoy food and drink to the fullest while keeping portions in check. Foods made with fresh, wholesome, and seasonal ingredients are highly recommended.

The basic premise of French Women Don’t Get Fat is that you should eat only good food of very high quality, eat it in small portions, and savor every bite. From chocolate to champagne, eat slowly, with all your senses, and make every dining experience pleasurable so you will be satisfied with smaller portions of delicious food. No food is off limits, only large portions. No counting calories, no skipping meals — just control what you eat.

The author goes on to point out that this is not a quick fix or fad diet, French Women Don’t Get Fat is a three-month plan meant to reset your “body’s dials” for a lifetime of healthy weight through slow, gradual weight loss.

The author also recommends eating a wide variety of healthy foods to be more satisfied without feeling deprived. “Eating the same foods is a bad habit,” the author maintains, and she suggests trying new recipes, flavors, and herbs. There are no forbidden foods in the French Women Don’t Get Fat plan, as long as the portions are kept in check.

I don’t know about you but it seems that control is the keyword here. Logically it makes a lot of sense, but we humans are not necessarily logical.

Another good point is portion control is a good thing until you eat out. The restaurants I frequent serve large portions. I have friends that have no difficulty leaving food on their plates at restaurants. I do have a problem here: I either finish it or I take it home. I probably should do more of the latter.

If one could adhere to a diet plan like the author suggests it just could prove to be a desirable, lifetime diet plan
