People throughout the world ~especially in North America~ have wondered what is the French women's secret to not gain weight.
A French secret is taught to girls before they become women, "Enjoy food eating with pleasure, but in moderation." As girls grow up, they learn other French women's secret to remain slim: eat small portions of delightful food cooked with the freshest ingredients. Such food makes it mandatory to take time to eat. Yes, you read correctly: "...mandatory to take time to eat." Small portions of food makes them savor their meals' heavenly taste and flavor.
As a result, they feel satisfied and fuller sooner.
French women do not see certain foods as forbidden as long as they are taken in smaller portions. French women do not believe in skipping meals. French women prepare great food which leads them to savor and enjoy each bite. French women easily control what they eat and how much of it because they are used to it. French women drink in every meal six ounces ~or so~ of red wine.
Their fat-free and appealing figures have two words written all over: Enjoy & Moderation. In addition, they do not exercise fanatically and obssesively nor they sign up contracts with gyms. More wisely than that, they maintain an active life such as walking one hour or so three times a week plus everyday physical activities.
Do you want their success for the rest of your life?
You can have it IF you succeed at turning yourself into a French woman, accepting to prepare finer foods, eating smaller quantities, enjoying and savor each bite of a meal, do it in company of people you enjoy to be with, drink moderate amount of read wine with a meal ~other than breakfast~ and mimic their lifestyle. What you just read is the opposite of eating processed foods, eating large meals which is NOT to say "starve yourself," eating in a rush without enjoying food, and stop wearing out your joints and your hip jogging and running endlessly.
Yes, their culture is a factor to their success. It is why I mentioned above that women get the message when they are young girls. So, invest your efforts and money in quality ingredients, in preparing better foods ~the French have tasteful and easy to prepare recipes~ eat small portions, find someone you love or care about to share a good meal with you, drink SOME red wine, and have an active lifestyle.
It is the French magic wand to much better health, and a splendid body.
