Features: A French woman who has settled in the United States, deeply familiar with French culture and French women. In the book, she reveals the magical power that French women use to stay slim. Simply put, they use their minds while eating; they don’t feel stuffed after meals or hungry. French women eat three meals a day; they would rather have a piece of high-quality dark chocolate than a dozen cheap peanut butter chocolates; French women avoid "low-fat," "low-sugar," or any food that has had its natural flavor artificially stripped away; French women don’t often weigh themselves; instead, they use their hands, eyes, and clothing to track their body shape. Fresh, diverse, balanced, and enjoyable—this is not only the dietary principle for staying slim but also the philosophy of a wonderful French life.
