People of the world ~especially so in the U.S.A. and Canada~ have wondered how is it possible that French women are not fat and look so slender.

Before French women become women, French girls are taught a secret: "Enjoy food and eat with pleasure." By the time they grow up, women know why to eat very fresh foods; and why in smaller portions. Their delightful foods call for taking time to enjoy. You read correctly: "Taking Time To Enjoy." Women ~as well as Frenchmen, of course~ eat slowly. They are based on one concept: thoroughly chewing small bites of a small portion of food makes them savor its heavenly taste and flavor.

As a result, they are satisfied and full before they feel like eating more.

Moreover, people of the world convincingly believe that French women do not get fat because they are on a strict diet. In France, women are not "on a diet." They do not skip meals. They repeatedly cook food using the freshest ingredients. They control the kind of recipes they eat, how much of each, and savoring each bite. They drink six ounces ~or so~ of red wine.

French women are not fat and have a slender figure because they enjoy food and eat in moderation, although it is the beginning.

It surprises many that exercises is not related to being fat according to French women. They do not exercise fanatically and obsessively nor they sign up for gyms. More wisely, they maintain a normally active life such as walking and everyday physical activities.

Do you want the success of French women who are not fat for the rest of your life?

Turn yourself into a French woman by eating finer meals cooked with the freshest foods you can find in smaller quantities, savor them in company of people you care, drink a moderate amount of red wine with each meal ~other than breakfast, of course~ and mimic their lifestyle is all that it takes. What you just read means restrict yourself from processed foods, no large meals, chocolate and pastries occasionally, and stop wearing out joints in your hips and knees jogging and running like a maniac.

The bottom line is that the French culture is a factor to French women’s success. It's why I mentioned above that women get the message when they are young girls. So, invest your efforts and money in quality and fresher ingredients ~to the extent possible~ in cooking healthier meals like the ones the French have, eat smaller portions, drink SOME red wine, and have an active lifestyle which does not include training for a marathon.

All of the above is close to the French magic of much better health, and a splendid body. In detail, I elaborated in my article Mediterranean Diet Does Not Exist ~available here in The View~ what you must know before you learn exactly why French women are not fat.
