For me, this one works, enjoy your food, take time to eat, smaller portions. This way you are really training yourself to eat better and more wisely, fad diets just don't work long-term and set you up for the up and down the scale syndrome.

Just not as many of them as us. But I remember reading that the overweight issue affects 45% of French women. That's not nearly as bad as in the U.S., where an extra 20% of women are overweight. But it's still a lot. French women get fat. Just not as many of them as us. But I remember reading that the overweight issue affects 45% of French women.

Not all French woman are slim, but obesity is less of a problem in France. And yes, it's common sense not to eat large portions, but you can eat high fat, delicious food in smaller amounts and lose weight and/or stay slim. The book is showing you a way to lose weight, be active and eat great food without depriving yourself. Not everyone loses weight eating great food, so whatever. Bottom line is that it's a great book- I own it and it does have some good recipes. I didn't eat everything out of the book or follow the plan to a tee, but I did get a different outlook on food and being active. Since then I've lost 86 lbs. :) That plan doesn't include "gouter" or what we call I snack. The author says you can add yogurt as a snack if you'd like, which is good so then you don't starve in between meals. I know some fat French woman, but I know a HELL OF A LOT more fat Americans.

Drink plenty of water. This is not uncommon.
