Eat like the French

Last year I read the book French women don't get fat and tried it seeing as I have many realtives that do live in France and are thin and walk everywhere, well it worked for me very well and I enjoyed it so much. I just had a baby and am back at it now and I have to say that the weight is coming off I just love it too because you never feel deprived. Anyone else eat this way>>>>>?????

Re: Eat like the French

I read that book! I loved it...Although i forget to live it out. What did you find so helpful? I get stressed out thinking I have to work out..I am the gym rat she is talking about. So what do you do daily? I am trying not to be so afraid of fat and use more olive oil and less refined sugars... Thanks for reminding me.

Re: Eat like the French

You can buy the book at any book store, it was very inspiring to me. It is not your typical diet book it doesn't give you a meal plan to follow just alot of great information. I started following this last april and lost about 5 pounds very quickly, I really didn't need to lose any at all but it just seemed that eating really healthy did that, I tried to walk for 45 min every day if I could if I could but just at a normal pace nothing to break a sweat I was really enjoying the view and taking it all in which I had never really done before. I would park my car further away from the entrance and while at home keep my self busy I have a super clean house now, I played with the kids more outside and as a family we made plans to go to different zoo's with good walking trails. After having the new baby now I have started eating this way again and just trying to have a good body image and not be in too much of a rush, I am 6 weeks post pregnancy now and for the past 3 weeks I was doing the low carb thing and running every morning, didn't lose a pound infact gained 2 so I though I will just go back to my old lifestyle the French way (bread, cheese. soups, fruit, yogurt anything I really want just in moderation) and a nice walk everyday andf I have already lost 4 pounds last week wich is amazing because I only have anothe 6 to lose and I am back to my pre preg weight. I have many realitives that live in Europe and they all seem to eat like this and never exercise they think us in America are crazy to spend that much time in the Gym when we could be doing other things. I am happy to be doing this again. I hope you enjoy the book.

Re: Eat like the French

I also forgot to say that I was a gym rat as well I was there 5 days a week for almost two hours I did 45 min cardio and them 45 mins weights. Now I just have a nice walk and I do yoga a few times a week and I like the shape of my body better I am not so bulky nice long and lean much better and it is not hard to maintain, and if I miss a day or eat bad I just go back to normal the naext day and am right back on track>
