French women know how to stay slim, lose weight, fat loss and weight loss is not part of their vocabulary; they have just stayed with their lifestyle that’s been working for centuries, and of course, common sense.

They eat a large variety of unprocessed meat, dairy, bread, vegetables and fruit, and the key to all of this is portion size.

It’s important for your body to vary your food selections for each meal because different foods contain different minerals and vitamins that are important for a well rounded diet.

Your main source of protein for each meal should not be larger than a one third of a pound and should be eaten with a nice salad and vegetable.

If you have ever watched diners at an outside French Cafe, then you have noticed that most of the locals will order one desert for the whole table then share it. This is also a part of the French diet. You can have your cheese cake and eat it, too, but only a small sliver of it. Obviously, if you eat a lot of these foods, it is not going to assist you in your fat loss and weight loss diet. The secret is to keep your portions as small as possible.

What would we do if we didn’t have croissants? French breads are great, but croissants in France are only about 1 ounce, so having that with your meal would be in order.

There is always cheese in a French diet, real cheese, not processed cheese, that is definitely out of the question. The key is small portions because they will help to curb cravings as you will feel full.

Red wine cannot be excluded from a French diet, in addition to being enjoyable its also healthy for you because it works to curb free radicals in your body and is full of antioxidants, but only 1 to 2 glasses a day.

When eating, French women are very choosy, they like large portions of fresh fruit and vegetables; these are high in nutritional value and low in calories.

In comparison, French women eat only a fraction of the portions most US citizens consume. When looking at the big portions being served at restaurants in the US it’s easy to see how it’s possible to consume so much more food.

Can you remember when last you savored a meal? French women are in the habit of eating slowly and enjoying the food; they do not sit in front of the TV and wolf down the food.

French women drink more water throughout the day. This is good for you and also helps to keep your metabolic rate in high gear to burn calories.

French women are also very good at forgiving themselves should they ever eat too much at a meal. There will be those times when your willpower is not going to be interested in counting calories. The secret is to cut back on the next meal that you eat. If we copy them it sure to help us with our own weight loss and fat loss efforts.
