| French Women Don’t Get Fat... the answer ... |
French Women Don’t Get Fat” is based on the principle that by adopting the diet and
lifestyle patterns of French women it is possible to maintain a healthy figure while
avoiding the experience of deprivation that is common with most diets.
The author of the book, Mireille Guiliano, recommends eating for pleasure and to focus
on the enjoyment of food. No foods are forbidden so long as the portions are kept
small. She says that the biggest secret of French women is that they learn to eat with
their heads and choose their indulgences wisely.
She emphasizes quality over quantity, eating slowly, savoring the unique flavors of
each food and to stop eating when satisfied.
Diet Secrets of French Women
Guiliano shares many tricks that French women have been using for years to maintain a
healthy figure. To kick start weight loss Guiliano shares a secret recipe of French
women; “Magical Leek Soup”, which is to be the only food consumed over an entire
weekend. A weekend of leek soup and lots of water acts as a diuretic to promote a
rapid weight loss which has the effect of increasing motivation as well as acting to
reset appetite. The weekend is used as a time for reflecting on your current diet.
The first 3 months involve retraining your taste buds and adjusting your mental and
emotional attitude toward food. During this time you will identify problem foods or
imbalances in your diet based on what appear excessive in your judgment.
You will remove offending foods from your diet wherever possible while deciding
which foods you really don’t want to do without. It is all about choosing your
indulgences wisely and exercising portion control.
After 3 months you should have adapted to a new way of eating and thinking about food
and lost at least half of your target amount. At this stage you can experiment with
including a broader range of foods and more treats.

Diet Basics
Guiliano emphasizes the importance of eating three meals a day and always eating
breakfast so as to keep the metabolism working at a steady rate.
She also recommends preparing as much food at home as possible so that you have
awareness and control about what foods you are consuming. Restaurant and takeaway
meals are often very high in fat, salt and sugar and should be occasional treats rather than
every day fare.
Guiliano highlights the value of fresh seasonal foods and encourages the use of
vegetables and fruits in abundance and the use of fresh herbs and spices to add flavor
without excess calories. The book includes many recipes that prove that it is possible to
eat delicious food and still lose weight.
Water is recommended as the beverage of choice. Wine is allowed and actually
recommended but only with meals and with an additional glass of water.
Bread and chocolate are foods to be embraced but with awareness of quality over
quantity. As Guiliano says it is far more pleasurable to indulge in a piece of the finest
chocolate than a dozen candy bars.
Two serves of natural yogurt are suggested per day as a hunger reducing snack.
