French Women Don't Get Fat - The Secret of Eating Pleasure was written by Mireille Guiliano.
Mireille Guiliano doesn't boast of being a professional in any diet field. Instead she teaches you the lifestyle of the French and how to enjoy fabulous food.
The eating habits of the French allow for indulging while staying thin. By implementing their habits, you can be rid of calorie counting, watching your fat intake, and other issues related to dieting.
The meals of the French people include several courses which are higher quality foods but smaller in portion.
With exercise, portion control, and learning about your eating habits, you'll enjoy delicious food without the weight gain.
The theory to learn your eating habits by keeping a journal is an excellent one. You adjust and start making the changes needed to correct how you eat.
Portion control and exercise are recommended. She recommends increasing your water intake, filling up on soups, fruits, and more vegetables.
Walking is encouraged and is an excellent exercise. Introducing more daily physical activities as you progress will not only give you energy, but it will help with losing and/or maintaining your weight.
If you "cheat" during the day, you make up for it in exercise at sometime during the day. Strength training is recommended for women over forty.
The plan she encourages is a healthy plan, but it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change.
