Book Reviews of French Women Don't Get Fat
Book Review: Common sense approach not unlike Intuitive Eating
Summary: 4 Stars
She uses a combo of Intuitive Eating principles and diet tips. It's not "pure" IE because she does suggest (in the beginning of the program) to abstain from certain things. But over all, a pretty good read. Makes tons of sense. However, like IE, she doesn't promote abstaining forever from these foods, just in the beginning. Like Intuitive Eating, her basic moto seems to be eat a little less, and move a little more (progressively) until you reach your ideal body weight (the weight we're supposed to weigh, not what we want to weigh, just like IE). It's a pretty good read. I fully completely believe the reason that most Americans are over weight, can be directly blamed on the diet industry. We've been duped for years by a multi-billion dollar industry (do they REALLY want us to loose weight and take away their income? I don't think so!). I've been practicing Intuitive Eating for a couple of years, it works! It works without deprivation, without diet backlash, and without temptation. French Women Don't Get Fat is very close in principle and practice to Intuitive Eating. It really does work. But because most of us have been brainwashed by the diet industry to believe unless it hurts, we're not doing it right. If dieting was the answer, no one would be over weight. I highly recommend this read.
