French Women Don't Get Fat!

The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook: How to eat and stay slim is now available with an accompanying cook book.

Written by Mireille Guiliano these books are all about eating real home cooked food in sensible portions.  According to Mireille Guiliano, the rules of healthy, delicious eating come in threes:

Include some protein, fat and carbohydrate in every meal.

Make sure the main course has three colours on the plate. It makes nutritional sense and "food should be enjoyed visually too"

Make dinner a three course affair. Changing plates helps the meal last longer and feel more special, and the first and last course can be no more than a chopped tomato and a sliced pear.

Eat three proper meals – breakfast, lunch and supper – but don't snack in between. Limit carbohydrates and sugar (including fructose-laden fruit juice) at breakfast and don't skip lunch or you'll overeat at supper.

Consider the three Ps – Pleasure, Portion and Plan. Enjoy your food, eating slowly, keep portion size sensible, bearing in mind that the first three mouthfuls are the most pleasurable. Exercise regularly and drink plenty of water.
