The french woman who said italian food.. Epic

Secret not so secret. Moderation, cook more often at home, exercise, vegetables, fruits, and healthy drinks like tea, water, coconut juice, or plain black coffee. Ain't so bad. They walk everywhere too.

my family is French and I notice that my portions are so much smaller than my friends in England so I'd say that French tip is that the people eat smaller portions

The most important tip I'm surprised wasn't mentioned was the French eat much smaller portions. They don't deprive themselves, but eat a tiny bit.

the real secret is to be French

ok but is nobody going to talk about how excessive smoking causes a lack of appetite?

My stomachs full, but my taste buds want food.

It's not rocket science. Smaller eating portions and lots of walking. Smoking, black coffee and cheese usually reduce your appetite. Next time ask these women how they arrived to the place of the interview. I bet you a healthy amount of walking was included.

I went to Paris two years ago and lost 3 pounds by just walking around. My sister and I even climbed the steps of the Eiffel Tower up to the point where we were required to use the elevator. I enjoyed croissants, macaroons, and crepes and still lost weight. We observed many women biking, so I believe their lifestyle contributes tremendously to their lean bodies.

I dont know if this is true or not but my friend who studied abroad in France said when he had meals with his French host family, they would not ask if he is full yet, instead they would ask if he is no longer hungry. If this is somewhat true, I think it really says a lot about how values affect dietary cultures in different countries. These two different questions may carry a close meaning and intention, but the difference in wordings do have an impact on how people eat. Instead of feeling like you can finish the meal only when you are stuffed and full, you can intuitively tell when you are satisfied and no longer needs to eat more. Again, if it's true, that may explain why people in different countries have an easier time staying in shape than most Americans.

I love how at

They seem so disciplined and down to earth, and of course very beautiful and classy.

You're spot on with the fruits and vegetables. Another thing is to eat slowly. A Frenchman in the 18th century once described the American eating lifestyle as "Gobble, gulp, and go." If there is anything I've hated about being American is that we always seem to be in a hurry to go somewhere else. I lived in Italy where everything seemed to be pasta in huge quantities. I learned to slow down and eat less. I didn't lose any weight, but I felt so much better.

The French don’t put on weight for two reasons :

as a french the first thing that surprised you when you are in a trip in usa is that the food is everywhere , everytime , americans seems to need to have something to eat at their disposal in any circumstance ( and of course this kind of food you can get everywhere is usually fatty food) . For french people food is basically for meals not for anytime. second thing is about soft drink , so much sweet drinks everywhere in HUGE quantity , you have almost a big bottle in a glass and you can ,in a lot of places, have others drinks freely as long as you want... having said that , i enjoyed my street hotdogs and my iced teas in unlimitted quantity and all the exotic junk food restaurant chains , shame on me 😂

Another thing: walk everywhere! No need for going to the gym if you just get urban with the city you live in! You discover the city and get your workout it while you’re at it!

In France the most common drink option is water. I love it and especially because people don't judge anyone for it! It's so easy to forget abt other drinks unless of course a special occasion calls for some champagne :)

Paris women have the best answer: less is more. Healthy eating leads to their beautiful skin and personalities. Merci! 💋💕

my friend who is french has told me they never really bought canned/premaid stuff, they appreciate vegetables and fresh ingredients, like mentioned in the video, and this often results to healthy food

Fruits with breakfast, vegetables with lunch, fruit plat as afternoon snack and for dinner salad with vegetables and hummus.. Oh, a lot of water and a cup of green tea, my secret 🥰
