Fine Gourmet Food, on a Weight, Management, Diet?  Why Not? The French can do it, can’t they?

Can
you lose weight without dieting or without exercise? 
Can you really eat all the fatty and unhealthy foods that you love and still lose weight? 
Some claim the French seem to do it, right?

Well, the secret for the French and a number of other countries in general is actually portion control and more exercise. They do not count calories or just eat healthier foods. They eat less and exercise, which is something that the average Australian and American citizen does not recognize. No food is actually, fattening, it is when you eat and how much that makes the difference. The secret of weight control is in portion size.


 

Those French who do worry about their weight do not need to search for best weight loss supplement they can go and see a nutritionist, courtesy of the French health service.

Nutritionist Dr Francoise L'Hermite says the French secret to staying slim is to do exactly as Clemence and her family do - make sure you sit down with friends or family for a meal, eat three times a day at regular intervals, don't snack, don't eat in front of the television, and finally - eat slowly and savour both the food and the company.

Platter for Sharing. See picture.

"For France, a meal is a very particular moment, in which you share pleasure, the food as well as the conversation," she says. "From an Anglo-Saxon point of view, food is just fuel to give energy to your muscles. If you have no pleasure in it, you are breaking all the rules of eating."

But what about all those French who tuck in to steak and chips, with lashings of red wine, followed by cheese and crème caramel for lunch?


British chef Richard Robe, who works at Taillevent, a Michelin three-star restaurant in Paris, says the secret is all in the portion size.
