It is known that French women are very beautiful, sexy and slim. They can wear mini skirts and look graceful and lean but still they enjoy a lot of pleasures in their lives. They often eat full fat dairy, butter, real cheese, desserts, red meats, pastas, gourmet breads and top it off with a glass of wine or champagne. But at the same time there is a very low rate of obesity at this country as compared to the North America.
French women and North American women are different but you can adapt some of their habits to your life. If you follow some tips from the French you will be able to lose weight easier and this process will be pleasing for you.
 Nowadays a lot of diets provide a strong belief that there are “bad” foods and “good” foods. Sometimes it is true but pasta and olive oil can’t be included in the “bad” foods list. These diets also created the feeling that food is bad, so you should feel guilty while you are eating. Sometimes it may seem right if you eat only a few bites per day or if you haven’t consumed carbs throughout a week. In fact if you deprive yourself it will result into binging and ruining your diet along with your self confidence. If you really want to eat and look like a French woman, don’t choose low carb and low fat foods. Generally French women can eat anything they like but they omit truly unhealthy food groups and don’t consume deep fried and processed foods. They also drink a lot of fluid between the meals which can help feel full longer and eliminate toxins from your body which will help you avoid bloated look.
Basically a French woman’s diet consists of three main meals per day. French women don’t snack much but they always eat enough during meals. For breakfast they usually eat fruits with fat yogurt or a croissant and a latte. Their lunch consists of some meat with vegetable or salad (and of course the cheese and croutons!) along with a small cup of strong coffee and a glass of wine. Dinner may include cheese, bread, meat and a vegetable, which are often followed by dessert and wine. Some people may doubt that it is possible to eat all these foods and at the same time maintain the normal weight. But the main secret is that French women listen to their bodies and know exactly when they feel full. A croissant or muffin in America is twice bigger than in France. Also the three course meals look like a bunch of little side dishes to an American. They don’t also drink too much. Nowadays it is trendy for North American girls to go out to “get drunk” while a French woman will never do that. In spite of the fact that drinking immoderate amounts of alcohol can gain a lot of calories, French women think that it is degrading for a person to appear in such condition. The alcohol for them is only a compliment for food. Also they eat very slowly and don’t consume foods while watching TV or reading because it may lead to overeating.
French women don’t like to attend gym. Instead of exercising in gym they walk everywhere. They can walk from store to store and at the same time buy delicious food for dinner. French women don’t watch a lot of TV. They give the preference to walking or swimming after dinner. One of the main things that help them stay fit is that they adore make love. It will be beneficial for burning calories, rekindling the romance and fighting your cravings.
You shouldn’t exhaust yourself trying to burn 20 pounds in a month. In most cases it is unreal and it can be very hard to preserve the weight. French diet will create a new attitude to food and it can be followed lifelong because it doesn’t deprive you of anything. You will be able to lose weight if you can control your portions and start walking.
