Sounds like low carb to me. High fat with fresh foods and no
manufactured high-carb [censored].

The idea is that you eat what you want, but less of it. You don't worry
about calories. And you walk a lot. You savor food.

I saw the article, and I completely agree with it.

That's because from what little I know of France, the food in there is
pretty real, rich, (nice and) high fat, and satisfying. None of this
"lite" (may I say this?) [censored] laced with fake fillers, when a small
serving of the real thing will do the trick.

Ever since I've switched to real food, I've found it to be the most
satisfying of all. It just seems to make the most sense to me.

Again, this is just what works for me. Your own body's response may vary.

That's true, although I personally have a hard time with some of the
things she was eating. For instance, she ate all kinds of goodies, like
chocolate and desserts. I was eating dark chocolate for a while, but I
can't personally have it in the house, or I'll eat all of it.

Imagine that. Someone ought to come up with a diet that is simple, promotes
walking and eating in moderation.

Oh, someone has.

Snippet from the link:

"The French eat real food, not faux foods like chips, sodas, Fruit
Roll-ups and cheddar Goldfish."

"They eat a wide variety of fresh foods, including plenty of fruits
and vegetables, but not a lot at one sitting, he says. They value
quality over quantity. "People here would buy a 5-pound burrito if it
cost 99 cents even if it was tasteless, but the French would never do
that."

I definitely agree with the principles of quality over quantity and
emphasis on whole foods.

Article says:

French women eat with all five senses, Guiliano says, allowing less to seem
like more. When she is with friends in Paris, even if they are just eating
sandwiches, "we sit down, take our time, look at the sandwich, admire the
bread or the butter on it. We eat slowly. We chew well. We stop between
bites."

I say: No wonder the nutritionist like this....it exactly the kind of thing
they told me back in the days when I lost 100 lbs using low-fat.

See, I never could master that "eat slowly, chew well, stop between bites"
touchy feely stuff. I'm just like dumb mutt - put it in front of me and let
me do my thing...

They do walk a lot more than Americans, on average.

But, I suspect their secret is in the "French Breakfast" - a cigarette, and
an espresso.

That's one thing I'm trying to change about myself -- eating slowly.

Similar book by neuroscientist who was stationed in France for a couple
of years, ate French foodFrench style, and everyone in the family lost
weight.

The Fat Fallacy : The French Diet Secrets to Permanent Weight Loss by
Will Clower (Paperback)
ISBN: 1400049199
Fat is not the enemy!

Croissants. Brioche. Brie. To the American palate, these foods are
fattening and oftentimes "forbidden." Yet they are the regular staples
of the French diet. And though almost half of all Americans are
overweight, France's obesity rate is at a low eight percent, while the
French also boast fewer cases of stroke and heart disease. It's clear
that America's obsession with low-fat and fat-free foods has ultimately
failed.
In The Fat Fallacy, neuroscientist Will Clower explains precisely why
the American diet sabotages weight-loss efforts and discusses how French
eating habits can lead to better health and trimmer physiques. In this
revolutionary work, Dr. Clower explains:

.. How highly processed "fake foods" are the real culprit in the American
diet
.. Why it's not just what you eat but how you eat that makes a difference
.. Easy ways to adopt the habits of the French to melt the pounds away,
including
complete dinner recipes--with dessert!

Finally, here's a plan that cuts through the high-protein/low-fat
debate. It's not a gimmicky diet program but a way of life that will
invite Americans to enjoy food like never before--while being healthier
and trimmer than they ever could have imagined.

In the book, he recommends only ONE food to consider regularly buying in
the frozen food section of the supermarket. (Buying frozen veggies out
of season is OK)

Breyer's Ice Cream -- made with all natural ingredients, no phony
chemical enhancements.

I would wait until the fixed diet is done, 4 areas of major flaws have
been identified and there will soon resume a reformation project to
complete it and remove the flaws. We wait Andrew's return as he will
contribute his knowledge in one of the flaw areas, as he has already
started to do in previous work on the fix project. If you think you might
have some contribution, here re the flaw areas not addressed well by the
"diet" as it now is stated:

energetics

health

nutrition

exercise
