Never check a good story

The diet book "French women don't get fat" has continued to climb the bestseller list. And I'm not suprised. The book, written by Mireille Guiliano, a 58-year-old Champagne CEO, who shares her time between Paris and New York has something really attractive: A title that allow us to live an ordinary life, only French.

However, the question one might ask is. Are Frenchwomen really not fat? And the sad answer is according to Washington Post - yes they are. At least 25 per cent of them are overweight and 11 per cent are obese.

So I am sorry. Not even this time the easy living approach to a better body came true. Changing body measures without changing behavior seems once again unreachable.

(Damn science - they can send a man to the moon, but we still can't have a hefty cheese burger a day without getting fat)

I'm presently living in France and to me it's a mystery how the french can eat a three dishes lunch including dessert every day without gaining a kilo.

It hink we all should stick to the steam food diet, eat lean meat, eat vegies and fruits!
Avoid the junk food and soda drinks.

Drink plenty of water, green tea (and wine like the french).

Eat 5-6 healthy meals a day (1 plate portions) to stop any cravings!

I think that's where the French do it well!
