Mirielle Guiliano’s French Women Don’t Get Fat book talks about the secret of eating for pleasure in a funny, lucid manner. The book is an interesting read and for those who were looking for a reasonable and commonsensical method to lose weight, it is a God send.
The book is all the more interesting because it is based on the personal experience of the author, who went to the US as a slender French girl and came back looking like a ‘sack of potatoes’. This book explains how she reversed the transformation successfully.
Packed with plenty of good advice, the book is a call to return to roots. According to Guiliano, the French do not get fat, not because they do not eat fattening food or drink wine, but because they eat all foods in moderation. This is in contrast to the food
culture in places like the US where people gorge on fattening food.
To achieve weight loss, the author suggests that the dieter start off with soup to detoxify the body. This has to be followed by shutting out all tempting foods for a period of three months. This is just so you can wean your palate away from addictive, fattening food. If you cannot cut out all these foods, the next best thing is to take them in very small portions (which sounds more reasonable). After three months, you can reintroduce these foods in moderation.
Guiliano does not forget to include the importance of exercise.
French Women Don’t Get Fat Review
This book is a refreshing breath of fresh air because it talks more about what you can do rather than what you should not do to lose weight. Dollops of good sense, anecdotes, incidents and wit make the book a pleasure to read.
Readers will also find the book rich in wisdom. For instance, the author points out that you need not exercise so hard if you take the stairs or walk to work. You need to eat slowly, eat plenty of vegetables and fruits and indulge your favorite foods in moderation. Nuggets like these show how easy it is to lose weight if you go about it seriously. There is no talk of calories in the entire book.
Pros:
- Loaded with practical advice
- Not at all restrictive
- Advocates a healthy lifestyle
- Great style of writing
- Excellent recipes that are easy to make
- Emphasizes the importance of exercise
- No need to count calories or shop for exotic foods
Cons:
- Massive weight loss may not be possible
- Some suggestions may not be practical
In Conclusion
French Women Don’t Get Fat is one of the most interesting non-diet ooks which teaches you to treat the dinner table as a venue for a ‘date with love and friendship’. The book explains a number of things about the right way to eat. Little wonder that it pegged the number one spot on the New York Times best seller list and was translated into 40 languages.
