Skinny French Women’s Secret

||||||||
(4/5)Surprise! One of the reasons French Women don't get fat is yogurt. According to Mireille Guilliano, author of the best-selling French Women Don't Get Fat, French women have a thing or two to teach American's about eating. I doubt many would disagree that we could use a few tips on weight loss.
Some lessons you will learn in this book:
- Eating is a pleasurable experience.
- Keep portions small but luxuriously satisfying.
- Indulgence is perfectly ok, just compensate by eating low calorie foods at your next meal.
- Don't give up fats, breads or other high glycemic carbs just eat less higher quality foods.
- Don't skip meals but keep them small and filling.
- Eat whole food that are minimally processed.
- Fruits and vegetables should be enjoyed and enjoyed often.
- Don't finish everything on your plate; eat only until you are satisfied.
- Walk at least 30 minutes daily.
- Eat yogurt one to two times per day.
Yogurt can make you fill fuller longer according to a
study done at the University of Washington in Seattle.
Don't blow it by eating store bought yogurt that is highly processed. Learning to savor your food instead of just devouring it is a secret everyone should know personally. Use fresh fruits and jams to sweeten your yogurt. Put it in an attractive dish and enjoy it in a luxurious state of mind.
Being able to enjoy smaller portions starts with reducing hunger pains. Yogurt will fill you up without filling you out. Making your own yogurt allows you to adjust your portion size and prevents you from thinking you have to eat the "whole container." It's no secret that super sizing is one main reason why American's are super sized.
