PEOPLE throughout the world still wonder why French women are not fat, and look gorgeous displaying their desirable and attractive feminine bodies. It gets started teaching girls a secret before they become women: "eat all the meals of the day in small portions - eat with pleasure." Once that secret sinks in ~and the girls become young women~ they are taught one other secret: "cook good recipes - use fresh and seasonal ingredients.
Cooking well-proven recipes using fresh and seasonal foods create taste and aroma that make French women and men do something crucially important, and that is to take time to eat. Savoring each bite of a meal results in feeling satisfied before wanting to eat more. (!)
Is that why French women are not fat ? - No, there is much more.
» They may look at a dish of food that they did not cook. It is because French women and men eat with their eyes; and so, food presentation is paramount. Secondly, they asses the ingredients used. Thirdly, they gauge if that meal consists of more than five or six bites. If something is not right, it was cooked for quantity which is rarely related to quality. A bite or two ~if any at all~ will be eaten from such meal.
» They cook well-thought-out recipes using health-enhancing cooking practices in meals they prepare with seasonal and locally grown foods. The science of Human Nutrition regard those foods as substantially more nutritious than canned vegetables. (!)
» They eat a meal enjoying the moment in a serene environment, and in company of people they feel good to be with. Although scientists do not know why, many of them recognized that such conditions favorably affect how our body assimilates food.
» They take time to savor the five or six bites of a meal. Scientists do not know why not rushing when eating is so beneficial to our bodies assimilating nutrients. French women were taught to not rush eating since they were young girls. (!)
» They do not skip any of the three or four meals of each day. However, it is not small the number of women ~and also men~ who dedicate one day each month to eat only apples.
» They do drink six ounces, or so, of red wine with most meals [except breakfast].
» They do not conceive certain foods forbidden ~such as pastries or creamy sauces~ as long as they are consumed in moderation. Deep-frying is out of the question, however.
» They do not sign up contracts with gyms nor they fanatically run prematurally wearing out their joints in the process. They have a physically active lifestyle naturally integrated to their way of life, however.
What you just read is the opposite of eating overly processed food; eating fast food too often; eating un-nutritious snacks during the day; eating food lacking life-sustaining nutrients; eating large meals; eating in a rush; eating in a noisy environment; eating engaged in a conversation or sinking the head in a cell phone; eating a meal which is not enjoyable; eating not at a table and in company of people we love or we feel good to be with; drinking too much and / or too often of the wrong drinks; driving in circles in a parking-lot until a spot is found to avoid walking; abandon being naturally active to give precedence to running like a maniac exceedingly wearing out lower joints and hip.
You may have deciphered that the meals they eat do not have a label printed with a long list of ingredients. It is because French women eat foods intended by nature, they follow health-enhancing practices ~and when it comes to cook and eat meals~ sense, sensibility, and discernment is what they persistently and inexorably stay on since well before they become women.
The knowledge you acquired ~and the one you may gain if you go to the article below~ will let you construe that French women are not fat and look gorgeous displaying their desirable and attractive feminine bodies not because of a diet printed on a book.
