Hi French girl here 👋 . Maybe this has to do with French men. Men in France don’t like plastic dolls AT ALL. They are not attracted to girls with lips injections, fake boobs, heavy make up, and vulgar outfits . To them Kardashian style is a Big No No. They are deeply attracted to natural confident women. So we as women are encouraged by men in this direction. Of course we do that for ourselves as well.

I’m a French woman and you actually look very natural and nice. You don’t need more 😊

Here's another factor: France doesn't do GMO foods. Gluten-intolerant Americans report being able to eat the bread in France without symptoms. French food is REAL. They don't eat a lot of plastic junk with high fructose corn syrup and added trans fats. French women eat cream and butter, full fat cheeses and whole milk. Americans are taught that these things are fattening, but our diet alternatives are actually worse for us, and end up making a kind of fat that's more dangerous to our health and harder to get rid of. Real food is safer, healthier, and it tastes a heck of a lot better, too!

As a frenchwoman (please forgive my roughly english...) , I can say that there is Paris and the rest of France. I live in a small town in the centre of France and the local MacDonalds are full of women (and men) who don't care about their figure and you see people on the streets munching on sugary snacks. For the vast majority of people, industrial dishes are replacing homemade food. . I've also noticed that young girls are much more obsessed with resembling a single, consensual beauty model than was my generation, and filler injections are developing rapidly. The French lifestyle is becoming increasingly similar to American habits. But isn't this a global phenomenon? Personally, I have a lifestyle that I think is as healthy as possible (and I can assure you that I can't eat anything without gaining weight!), I don't drink alcohol ,but that doesn't make me feel particularly French; I just feel part of the global community of people who think about their health and their consumption habits.

My experience as a foreign exchange student to France taught me several things. Most important was that the French don’t eat much sugar. They will have an occasional patisserie, but maybe once per week. Most meals end with fruit. When I asked my French mother for ice cream,she told me that it was only available in the summer. (This was many years ago.) Traditional French meals were like this: coffee and toast for breakfast, full meal midday (soup, meat or fish, vegetables and a piece of bread, at night supper, a lighter version of the midday meal. The French are very disciplined, and they eat real food. My French mother went to market every day, so everything was fresh. Those lovely baguettes were shared by the whole family. They were to soak up sauces.

French girl here being flattered by your video, while wishing I could ever look as polished as you 😂

I live about 500 Kilometres to Paris but in Germany. I think here are many things similar in the lifestyle and eating. Cooking fresh, eating many vegetables, going for walks and to the gym are here also very important to many people. Eating little portions is also standard. When choosing clothes I take also less and therefore more expensive. Doing operations is also not often here. I think here is everything more natural. Confidence is really important and simplicity. Less is more ❤. Greetings from Europe and sorry for my bad English 😅

On your asymmetrical comments, I deal with that every day, and I HAVE to with scoliosis.I can't wear belts or anything that reveals my real waistline, like you like to do in your videos...but I still listen to ypur videos and glean what I can, because you are so positive! LOVE it!

Your beauty is mesmerizing! I love your attitude and the point of view, I wish it prevails in our societies. Plastic dolls are so overrated.

I was listening to someone here on yt recently, speaking about going to France and living off croissants and losing all your excess weight. I think the reason this would work is that high fat is essentially great fuel once adapted . Also that the T55 flour used in french baked goods, has very little gluten (making it less likely to stay fresh.. and rightly so) Coeliacs often find they are able to tolerate french cuisine ...

Love, love , love your channel, your attitudes which are expressed so well in your clothes and style. New admirer , old lady here. 😊

There is one essential component: Even if it is taboo and therefore hidden, French society is strongly stratified socially. The masses with little means are struggling - France has been terribly impoverished recently - and eat low budget food that makes them fat and looking older. There is no income for pampering. Then you have the upper classes, not only in money, as in the US, but also in education, and trans-generational transmission of how to be a beautiful, healthy, classy, successful woman without using plastic surgery, injections ans so forth. The French women who age particularly well, dress incomparably, take time for themselves, stay classy and feminine while they age, are almost always confined to that social class where this knowledge and savoir-faire are transmitted to them directly and where the means allow such lifestyle. I am French living in the US, and for those who will say: it is the same in the US. No it is not. The food also plays a great role as the US food supply is terribly toxic. When I was young in France, an overweight woman was very rare, in any class layer. That was before American food invaded France.

French women may eat smaller portions however The quality of food in Europe is much higher, fresher and not as processed as north americas sugar laden gmo crap. The food in North America is killing us! I love the rest of your list also 😊

I have been practicing being mindful and noticing when my body tells me I’ve had enough for a while now. I can’t eat the huge portions that everything is here. I can only eat maybe half of most things. Even salads… I would order them, but they are so huge, I can’t eat the whole thing and I they don’t last well to take home, so it feels very wasteful.

Parisians walk A LOT. This is partly the reason for a trimmer figure without "trying" and having good looking, toned legs.

The food in America is full of addictive ingredients that make you fat, which are banned in most other countries.

LOVED this video. You present your ideas very naturally and honestly. A rare commodity. Thank you. ❤️

Living there indeed it is portion size and smoking, but also not eating between meals and as the meal takes much longer they tend not to be stuffed after eating, but social pressure from mum and friends is also a big factor. Walking is also bigger part of normal life without doing it as exercise. South French food is healthier as well…

Elegance is taught and part of life from early on by mother, peers in high school and in university, it’s harder when you have few examples in high school etc.

I liked this video and the message. Thanks. !

french women smoke!! Back when I smoked, 30 years ago, I was super skinny because I stopped eating quickly and had an after-meal cigarette.

Diana, this is such a call to attention for many of us. I hope to be able to wrap my head around these concepts. At the moment, I’m in a dichotomy of American convention and the elevation of being a woman. You’re my cheerleader. Thank you.

Love theese principles😍

Agree. The biggest problem for people everywhere today is the overeating of nutrient empty, so called food which is destructive to mind and body. This is the one thing wrecking havoc in peoples lives, the other most important is their lack of knowledge about their creator. God does not have a place in many peoples lives thereby creating empty lives, nothing fills that VOID.❤

Love this! 👍👍

Killed me with the LA River 😂 ty for the content

Interesting discussion.

Love your videos. ❤

Very good video. 👍🏻

Thanks Diana, cherie. You show wisdom far beyond your tender years. See-awareness and confidence are the key. Bisous. Love how auto-correct changes this to bisons.

Great information. I need to start doing the smaller meals idea, because truthfully we Are going to bed in a few hours afterwards.......

That was really interesting - eat not to be full bez bot to be hungry…. Interesting! Thank you, the whole video was entertaining!

We can, and we shall ☺️💞🙌

French just don't eat ,but will not admit . It is not cool to talk about eating habits or exercise. Same as them look,they want to look like they not care or spend no time to get ready but opposite is true 😉

The secret to their figure is the pace. It's the time they take to eat. Not only to eat, but to really enjoy what they are eating. 😉

😃

'Une femme d'un certain âge" and "jolie laide" are French terms that celebrate the passage of time and our differences,

Read Psalm 139 to discover how precious we are to God❣️🥰💕🙏🏻💕💕💕

They do not eat processed food. Plus a lot of them smoke, so that reduces their appetite.

It’s actually about European lifestyle in general

u r beautiful

I really am happy being who I am. French is over rated.

Your asymmetric face is what’s most beautiful about you not to mention you’re sweet and funny

“Dollying “ very apt term- and why not stay a human?!

Biblically-thinking..I don't see a lot to admire about the French culture. I'm sure there are Christians in France but the French culture appears to be lacking in attention to the things of God. God does not require that one be beautiful or sexy or fashionable. Au contraire, as the French say. Being preoccupied with one's beauty or sex-appeal does not please God.
