French Women Don’t Get Fat, but they do eat bread and pastry, drink wine, and enjoy three-course meals. In her delightful tale. Mireille Guiliano unlocks the simple secrets of this “French paradox” — how to enjoy food and stay slim and healthy. Hers is a charming, sensible, and powerfully life-affirming view of health.
As a slender French girl, Mireille went to America as an exchange student and came back fat. Her family physician reintroducing her to classic principles of French gastronomy helped her restore her shape and gave her a whole new understanding of food, drink, and life.
Mireille reveals the ingredients for a lifetime of weight control — emphasizing the virtues of freshness, variety, balance, and always pleasure. Mireille shows how virtually anyone can learn to eat, drink, and move like a French woman.
